Event: COC Winter O' Series / WIOL #5 - Putney Woods
 

WIOL #5 at Putney Woods, the first off-trail meet of the season! Naturally, I ran through the woods quite a bit instead of employing the trails, because I could, which wasn't always a good idea. It's still the Pacific Northwest. Just because you CAN go off trail doesn't mean you should. Oops. But it was a really fun race and I think the course was well designed.

Drove straight from the O' meet to my soccer game, 1.5 hours away. We played the team that's currently at the top in the league and we played horribly. It was a 5-0 loss. Many of us were tired from our game on Thursday, and we only had 1 sub (better than both of our previous games, but still not good).

After this week, I'm physically exhausted. My whole body hurts. Running on Tuesday and Wednesday made my calf tight, and it's still tight. Playing full soccer games on Thursday and today was draining and gave me several bruises. Orienteering today was tiring and gave me another scrape/bruise. Pulling little kids up a hill yesterday was more work than I thought it would be. Unless I feel awesome when I wake up, I'm taking tomorrow off completely to recover.

First day of ski instructing! We got up to the mountain late, so we didn't have time to ski before, and then we only got in 2 runs afterwards. Pulling little kids up the hill was tiring though. I'm looking forward to when they're able to ride the chair!

30min warmup + 90min game. It was a 0-1 loss, but it's only our second game of the season, we only had 11 players, our keeper was one of our field players who isn't supposed to be playing because of an ankle injury, and we had a guest player. So considering the circumstances, it wasn't half bad. Playing the full game made my calf more tight, but I've been stretching which should help. Also might have minorly tweaked my ankle but it's so small that I think I'll be good by tomorrow.

Lake Kathleen again. Right calf sore from yesterday. Siri and I were going to train with the football team in the weight room, but they were running back and forth in the gym, and we decided that if we were going to run, it would be much more fun to do so with the XC team outside on a real run.

Pretty normal soccer practice... passing patterns, shooting, possession, etc.

Lake Kathleen with a bunch of the girls.

First practice back after break.
