Training Log Archive: Hammer

Ouch. Legs and arms and back are sore. So some DWR with Emma at Chateau Montebello.

C • Nice spot for a holiday! 3

Event: National Capital Orienteering Festival
 

warm-up, cool down then off the Chateau Montebello for a huge meal and much needed family vacation. :)

Adventure Racing taught me something...(well when our team was mega sponsored anyways)... You can race and enjoy luxury together.

NCOF Middle. First orienteering race since 2006 COC middle distance. Knee only hurt on the downhills. Was able to keep running except on bigger climbs. Started to get tired around #10 or so (yeah at about 16-18 mintues, ouch). I felt a little rusty with little 5-10s bobbles and lotsa hestitation - but kept a sure (but what seemed slow) and steady pace and ended up with a surprising result. Longest time running without stopping since the operation so that is promising but a little scarey too since I worry I'm causing more damage to the knee. But I had a good time and my time was good too. Most importantly it was great to catch up with a great group of friends.

C • Long distance 1

NCOF sprint. Well this was the kind of feel good race. I felt like crap on every hill and was suckin' air by the time I got to #1. Feel good race in that it is good to know that all those years training were worthwhile. I think I really would have enjoyed this course if I was fit. Awesome awesome run by MrPither. Watched him moving what seemed effortlessly as I walked up one of the many hills.

Thanks to Robbie A. for some good courses.

hike in rockies with strack attack. knee a little sore so doing both races this weekend is doubtful. first race in almost 2 years.

C • Welcome back! 2
