Training Log Archive: Spike

2 x 25 minutes of running around while putting out and retrieving controls at Woodridge. It was foggy when I was putting out controls, which was really nice to look at. I took a couple of snapshots:

I bumped my hand/finger on the door when I was putting some markers back in my car. It hurt and the finger is not very comfortable right now. Time for some ice.

Spent the work day at the KU Edwards Campus for the Mid-America Intergovernmental Audit Forum. On the way home I stopped at Kill Creek, put on my headlamp, and did some kartlek.

Work commute. A bit chilly on the way to work.

Short headlamp run on West Campus.

Work commute.

An easy jog to get some time on my feet and see how everything felt. Everything felt ok.

My finger feels a lot more comfortable today. On Sunday I fell and seem to have dislocated the finger. After I fell, I looked at my finger and it was pointing in an unnatural direction. But it popped back in place easily. It was uncomfortable on Sunday and then got a stiff and swollen yesterday. Movement was uncomfortable and when my bike hit a bump my hand would hurt. Today was much better. There's still some swelling and discomfort. I can bend my finger a bit - maybe 40 percent of the normal range of motion.

Mass start ultra long. Smashed a finger. Glasses and magnifier fogged. Attitude nOt very good. DNFd.

After DNFing I decided to take advantage of being on a map and explored a bit. I found a few controls and ran a couple of legs before making my way back. I might call this kartlek.
