OSMand and Element Wahoo GPS
I usually do my route planning using bikerouter.de , export the GPX to phone, open GPX file using Element application, and voilà … But sometimes i need to do it on the move. My favorite mobile bike and running application is OSMand+ . The “Plan a route” feature is quite good. Unfortunately, i found out…

5 days with a bike and 2 teens
Itinerary After much change of plans ( 1st idea was Morvan, then Loire …) we decided to head to my mother’s place in Côte d’Armor (where we planned to end vacations anyway) and start from there. I designed a mix of coastal and inland 270k itinerary. We would join the Canal de Nantes à Brest,…

Week 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29
ok let’s call it a monthly report … Letting too much time flying by means i lost details of condition and kind of render this exercise (some kind of public training journal) pretty pointless… Week 25 sees my latest stint at gym. It is also the beginning of heatwave, meaning all activities grinded to a…

Weeks 21, 22, 23 and 24 🤦
Time is flying by so fast… the weekly report has turned monthly … Because of heat and too much work, training consistency went down the drain this period. Also i was expecting my new bike to arrive those days, which took it’s time to get delivered, during wich i kind of procrastinated my training. Thanks…

Impress your next date with these neat bash tricks(*)(**)
I use bash with shopt -s histverify on, meaning the command i am pulling out of history won’t be immediately executed. Instead it will be displayed for validation. saved my ass a couple of times when the command i pulled out was definitely not the one i wanted. I am a big shell history user.…

Post-mortem – failed update
The evening before Yesterday i had planned an on-site intervention, i logged in the server, did a couple sysadmin things, updated the server, crossed fingers and enter the “reboot” command. Of course, the server did not come back online… So the next morning, once onsite i plug a screen on server and instead of a…

Week 15 & 16
On week 15, except monday’s marathon turned half marathon because of poor fitness, i didnot do a single exercise. Work and family got in the way… On saturday 11, put my Five Fingers on and went for city run, without any route planned. I like these kind of runs where body cannot unconsciously adapt to…

Week 14
Lot of work means less time for training, hence training load was very low. For the 1st time in almost a month, my fatigue level goes over fitness, thanks to a 3 day week-end loaded with trailruns in the hills of Claveisolles (44k, 2600 mEG in 3 days). A bit disappointed by fitness level during this…
