It’s been busy since I finished my race report, so that’s why you got to look at it for an extra special long time. That, and the fact that I’m still revelling in actually finishing the race.
I’ve done exactly one workout since the race, a “hill” run with BAFT on Tuesday afternoon. I say “hills” because it was along the Middlebrook greenbelt (Joe, I think I saw your wife out running but I wasn’t sure) and there are some “hills” back there. Apparently our hill workouts will soon be moving to the Kemah Bridge, at which point I’ll no longer need to use quote marks. Anyway, we ran for 40 minutes, during which I covered 3.5 miles. Not too shabby for a mere 48 hours post-Half Ironman! And it was freaking HUMID. I am not ready for summer.
But the weather today, after yesterday’s rain, is absolutely beautiful. Looks like it will stay that way through the weekend as well, meaning great temps for the Resurrection Run on Saturday! My plan to go for a 5K may be put on hold though. Jose expressed interest in running it, and if he does, I’ll run with him.
All IMUs drift; some just drift more than others. How much they drift is a function of how much they cost these days.
Better get used to that startracker because I heard the CEV isn’t going to have the way more useful rendezvous radar.
Yes, the picture of us is kind of old. But its a cool picture in an exciting NASA locale. Since we were going to be gone, Amelia asked for any NASA related pictures I had of us, and that was the most complete set I had. Better than a picture of me sitting at my desk behind the computer. Wish we would’ve had an opportunity to get our pictures from this year’s Vomit Comet trip included instead though.
Yay come visit me!
The lobby in B16 has gyroscopes and IMUs from Gemini, Apollo, and Shuttle. It’s amazing how big they used to be.
‘Babel’ looked like it could have been interesting, but when I heard more of the story I wasn’t gung-ho to see it.
