Ankle strengthening

Leg strength & core & ankle strengthening. I think I tweaked my ankle a little yesterday.

Pyramid core, obliques, ankle strength, some tricep stuff, more core. It's been so long since I've regularly done core that I'm pretty sore from the past couple sessions

stretching and rolling

Event: CSU Park-o: Magazine Beach
 

10 min ankle strength at work spread throughout the day, 5 min after getting home

Did a quick ankle test. My ankle failed. Walking it is for the park-o. No 5k race this weekend either. :(

Pyramid core and various ankle strengthening exercises (alphabet, pointing toes, pulling toes up, standing on one foot, standing on toes, standing on heels...) I can tell that L ankle is definitely feeling much weaker than R one

Moved my foot a couple times in ways that didn't feel so good. I'm still going to try running tomorrow, but I'm not sure it's going to work out

C • Ankle 2

Tried some weird cardio machine before I had to get going

Ankle felt a little ouchie but I decided to start anyways.

Racing ended pretty quickly. I was thinking more about my ankle than I was the navigation, and it wasn't feeling good. I decided to turn back just after the first control. Walking back to the finish hurt, while walking around this morning felt okay. So stopping was the right call, but a disappointing one to have to make. It's been a while since I've had real ankle issues, and I know that I'll really have to focus on ankle strengthening over the next month. I'll be taking 2+ days off of running now.
What a bummer of a weekend. I had fun spectating and spending time with teammates and orienteers I don't get to see enough, but racing is what I'm there for :(
