Event: CSU Orienteering Weekend
 

Good warm up, didn't want to pull anything after I've been so sore all week.

Started, and ran really badly for the first 4 controls or so. Okay, mostly the 2nd and 4th. Missed the right way over the fence to 2, then picked the first hill on the way to 4, not the 2nd one, and searched all over it for awhile. Partially knew that it felt too early, but it seemed so right for a bit.... argh! Went better after those, but still not super-on. Maybe just haven't been orienteering enough- been since the Highlander?

Middle - Splits

Just a little morning jog. After running hills on Wed, my body freaked out again and had a super-duper sore quad. Think my hamstring wasn't quite back to normal on Wed, and was probably running wierd which aggravated the quad. Argh! Felt the quad even just on the jog, but not nearly as bad as yesterday!

Amity Hills. Good little session, hamstring tolerable. Nice that it was in the light and not in the rain this week!

Hamstring more normally sore today. So I can walk with just a bit of pain, not limp-inducing pain. Think it'll be ready for jogging tomorrow... Maybe some circuits this afternoon.

Some ab work while cooking dinner.

Broken body. Yee-ouch! Right inner hamstring is way way painful. Doesn't want to walk at all. But thing it's just a strain, not a pull. Feels like that anyways. Will take a few days prob, but not more I'm guessing... Suppose I knew I was doing this to myself yesterday...!

Moosilauke TT- 3.6 mi, ~2500 ft

Decided not to race while warming up, becuase hamstrings felt like they were about to snap. But then it didn't feel so bad, so did decide to race after about 5 minutes... doesn't need to stretch as far going up hill.

And... did a PB!!! =) About 30 seconds faster than my best previous time. Pretty psyched, because definitely wasn't rested in any way shape or form for it, and was just dilly-dally jogging for the first bit, so sure I could be even faster...

A perfect day for it. Clear, almost entirely dry trail, only frost on top, no snow to wade through.

Back down from time trial. Probably actually took longer, but didn't time it...
Chatting with folks most of the way down, good times!
