Training Log Archive: Mr Wonderful

I dropped the Escape off for an oil change and returned some movies.

Shorts, buff, t shirt and light jacket, no gloves = cold hands for first mile, then okay. 35F

Great weather for the return jog, hands fine.

The shop said I need my front brakes replaced. I JUST installed the last set 100,000 miles ago.

This week I lost exercise time because I:

* couldn't notice that I missed one index not being to the previous time step instead of current:

NO: my_function(time_index)
YES: my_function(time_index-1)

* didn't realize that if you restrict your values to 0-255, you can't subtract 128 from 12 and not clip.

NO: uint8(image1)-uint8(image2)
YES: int16(image1)-int16(image2) (alternatively, double() works too)

this is like:

12-128 = 0 (the first way)
vs
12-128 = -116 (the second way)

In my defense, the uint8 was inherited, not because I spec'd it.

two....more.....classes.........

Event: SMOC Silver Lake
 

Experimenting with warm ups. Can't do a proper run since I don't have the lungs for it. :)

Silver Lake Red

I felt good about this one. I wasn't expecting to destroy it, but about everything else went as could be hoped for at this stage.

S-1 straight!
1-2 straight! No trails! (justified as "probably not running much anyway")
2-3 Tried to cut the corner, got into some quality green
3-4 Back up trail, attacked from above
4-5 Drifted way left, but I forgive myself, since I'll work on my compass following soon
5-6 around the swamp, following the valley and Pasinetti
6-7 Trail to indistinct junction, then through the swamp, maybe a bit too left, then straight down spur from junction, but with some unneeded hesitation
7-8 Around to the left. Eyed the crossing but trail seemed almost as short
8-9 Right of line through saddle, left might be faster
9-10 left side of swamp, then continuing up reentrant
10-11 YOLO I crossed the correctly mapped uncrossable swamp. up to mid thigh in places, tufting wasn't strong enough for my mass, but refreshing. Curious to compare splits. a runner would have been way faster around

Igor caught me here, but he knew he had me by +6-8 minutes so we were somewhat together until 15 as I think he backed off. He later said he also took a big drink at 11.

11-12 Interesting leg. I went right of swamp, and right of hill then down spur, letting Igor help
12-13 trail to road to trail - just looked faster - Igor thought so too
13-14 same trail to same road, Igor as well
14-15 straight, tried to bomb super straight to catch Igor but overheated and blew up, groggily completely 15 and F.

Very fun, great day, thanks Jess!

Pickup of southern loop, 8-10 was especially fun going straight between them (ie not going to 9 in between). Glorious woods and slopes and visibility

Saw Jess headed out for some c so I offered to run 'em down. Then I walked them down, legs tired! Also, I found replacements for all the burrs I'd just scraped off my tights.
