Back, core and achilles 55:00 [2]
Getting serious about this routine. Worked up a sweat this morning. If I was a masochist I would enjoy the two doses of the cylinder of pain.
1 PM
Real Orienteering race (Myers Creek) 16:00 [2] *** 1.4 km (11:26 / km) +20m 10:40 / km
spiked:3/3c shoes: Salamon Blue
Bush event #10
Really did it today. Started at a walk/jog. Then after 700 metres I managed one of those classic mega trips on a stick. One end caught in the shoe laces and the other pivoted on the ground. I went up and over. It was my good leg and in the instinctive effort to break the fall with my bad leg, I have transformed a muscle micro tear into something far more significant. Doing my reading, it will take six to eight weeks if I just rest. NZ events in three weeks. But "vigorous treatment together with muscle strengthening and stretching for as many as six half hour sessions a day, beginning 48 hours after injury, could return most athletes to competitive sport within 10-14 days". Well, guess what I will be doing. I don't assume I fit the definition of an athlete, so am hoping that three weeks will solve the problem.
