A better session and a new lesson.

Left side isn't 100%, but is greatly improved from yesterday. I have fatigue, but no mechanical issues. The only thing remaining is a bit of a chafe from yesterday, but that is improving as well.

The new lesson relates to weight in the pack. I added a book, the 1999 edition of the National Electric Code (NEC), to what was already in the pack. This ended up between the battery and my back. The battery is heavier than the book as this moved its weight about 4-5 inches away from my back. This was quite noticeable during the session. I have swapped the locations of these two items. Anyone who uses a pack regularly knows that you want the weight of the pack as close to your body as possible. I have just been reminded of this. The good news here is that the proposed items, bags of rice and beans, should be easier to get arranged well than the training weights.

The last session before the March is 30 minutes on the day before. This will be with full pack weight to verify and correct the pack setup and loading.
