20220215 Wear and Run Notes

 30 degrees, little wind Compressor socks Brooks jacket Mittens and mitten Bjorn long sleeve Icebreaker 150 tights Green speed Somewhat cold toes, though felt warmer at end.  Took jacket off at mile 1.5, and was a bit brisk for rest of the run.  Took off mittens, then merino mitten.  Put the mitten back on around mile 5, which help reduce the cold on the chest.  Probably a vest would have been good. Right knee felt much better.  Left knee generally felt good, but was a bit tweaky at times.  No ankle issues.

20220208 Wear and Run Notes

 30 degrees, no wind. reverse 7 miles Mittens - merino 150 merino tights, underwear, path projects 250 shirt red vest - took off at 2 miles nuwool socks - a bit cold at end, need tape speed Good run.  Took vest, then gloves off.  Did get cold hands in the end.  Tights were fine.

20220206 Stryd Pod Calibration Change

 So, it seemed obvious today that the pod was still off.  It seems to be reading short of the intended distance based on 7 mile circuit and initial readings on my 11 mile run today.  I feel like .20 miles short on 7 miles.  So .0286 miles off per mile.  Current calibration is 99.3.  Reset to 100.  Current calculations indicate 102.25

20220206 Wear and Run Notes

 Long run.  35 degrees, sunny, B&A merino gloves merino long sleeve (lighter) airnet tights with underwear and shorts vaporflys with tape nuwool injinji socks almost too hot in sunlight, but cold enough in shade took off gloves, but had to put them on in the end socks were warm.  probably could have done without tape.  my guess is could use down to 30 degrees could switch top to short sleeve and arm warmers tights were ok.  if anything, almost too hot.  Could take down to 30 degrees.   Fueling was 2 maurten.  Took one around mile 3 and another at mile 7.5.  Also took one salt and one BCAA tablet.  Last 3.5 felt a bit better.   Didn't put chafe on underarm and was sore (forgot).  Can't miss this, even at 11 miles.  Also put on lip balm.

20220205 Wear Notes

 28-29 degrees.  Light weight jacket, tights, long sleeve, drymax socks, Aurora BL shoes, merino mittens. Jacket was fine at start.  Could have taken off. Long sleeve worked fine.  Was brooks ugly shirt.  Could have gone to tech sleeve. Drymax socks were warm! Originally had tape, but didn't need it.  Could have gone colder as almost too warm.   Mittens worked fine.  Just a bit different than the gloves, but still ok. Based on runwin and + 10 degrees, should have been able to get away with a vest and 3/4.  Likely would have been ok, but since pace was slower, still worked out.
