orienteer 59:37 4.92 km (12:07 / km) +88m 11:08 / km
ahr:134 max:165
PTOC event at Landahl, one hour score O. Just one of those days when I was Just Not Having Fun. And since it was not fun, and I was in a bad mood, every little thing ticked me off. Which meant I was not concentrating on my orienteering, and made lots of mistakes. All my fault, of course. Just one of those days.
I decided to walk most of it, to avoid aggravating my foot. I thought I might jog a few times to test it out.
Temp was 10 degrees when we started. I know my hands are always cold, so I ran around for a few minutes before the start to keep warm, and I wore two pairs of gloves. No help. Hands were blocks of ice for first 20 minutes. I alternated holding them under each armpit, which is not convenient for also holding a map an compass. Quite distracted, and cursing under my breath the whole time.
Stupid route choice to 16 (changed my mind in the middle of the leg because I didn't want to climb the hill). Got to 14 and saw the marker, on the other side of a very deep, very steep gully. No way down and up, at least for me. Stood there a few minutes, cursed some more, and decided to go on.
Obviously distracted as I had no plan to approach 13 and instead wandered in dark green (literally crawling on hands and knees a few times). Had to give up in order to get back by the one hour deadline.
The good news: foot felt fine today.

A short walk at lunch time, to stretch out all my tight muscles (why are my knees stiff???) and enjoy the last of the warm temps.

sprint drills 1:00 [1]
Met my sprint coach at the track to review my progress and learn a few new drills. Practiced some drills, but did not do any running exercises, since I wanted to rest my foot.
