Diary of a Cosmonaut

Today — the bicycle ergometer. I cranked out a load of 900 kg-m; maximum arterial pressure 190 mm Hg, pulse 155 — good. I could have done 1050 kg-m. Walked for 50 minutes; feeling fine.

In the gym I played “Donkey” with Kobzev (a basketball shooting game). He figured he’d beat me because of my impaired coordination after the flight, but he lost and owes me champagne. I still can’t make myself sit down and write the report.
