O -session with Craig and Michael. even knowing the area , i had fun there and need it to be concentrated. some surges were added

C • LOL 2

just about +26 or 27°C, and i decided to go a bit faster on my regular loop. quite content with the outcome = 16.50, few weeks ago i did 2 at about mid 18's. sweating like .... afterwards

at least 25° C today. a bit too warm for Alin who did only 2.5 of the 4*4 . roughly 1 k each, felt easy/normal for me

went out for a short run. couldn't stay no more

maybe one hour of map updates in the park. good thing i had to give a rest to my leg

got the advice i need it prior to the race. so careful - avoid marshes etc.. tripped on a barbwire rushing to the start and i hit - yes -- my injured area. ouch . that hurts- and set up pretty much the tone for the day

went out - just cuz. spiked first control , kept moving towards 2 and a bit too aggressive thinking is a new updated map etc.. paid the price --6 min lost just below and before the control where the map was not changed.. tried to focus again and kept moving. did not like 6- not really lost time - just did not like it. get 8 route choice straight , nice navigation tough woods tough footing, but way slower the Patrick's and Eric's around the trail option. at this point due to combination of injury( which did not hurt ) but just had to take care of it, avoid marshes, or run like a princess there, and the stupid #2 -- i am about 10-15% less that i like. got caught by Eric at 10 by 12 min- not surprise there, took a different route to 11 ( i went right) and we were just about together on the main road. got slow - of course crossing the marsh and no more Eric. lucky he had a small 'extra loop; so i punch 12 right ahead of him. after the map exchange i have to report lots of slow moving , again much attention in not hitting anything- lost huge time on that map with maybe 1 min mistake. good thing the leg is not any worst - in my opinion. however i should take it easy for few days
