Orienteering race 40:29 [5] 5.6 km (7:14 / km) +115m 6:33 / km
UKOL 4 - Middle Race at Givendale, Eborland.
Feeling a it broken this morning - achilles sore and rest of legs sore from hard surfaces yesterday. Janine came back with a tale of a tough forest with control-pick legs which fired me up. Had a longer than normal warm up (given we have splits starts and two kids to juggle it's normal "what's a warm-up?") and was concerned about the achilles. Needn't have worried because on the way to No 2 I stepped on a root that forced my right foot up to my shin and I thought I'd almost snapped my achilles (on the good leg). I hobbled for two controls and the pain wore off and so I kept going - a bit of discomfort never hurt anyone! Anyway, the terrain was soft and pretty runnable so I was enjoying it. Like the control pick even tough it was easy and got caught out a bit by the open knoll in the wrong place (but not by too much) and pushed on from there - Janine's shouting told me I was probably doing OK.
Waemed down at the finish but had to retire - left ankle had seized up and becoming unbearable. The injured right achilles seemed to have held up OK.
By late evening my ankle had swollen (following a bath with the kids) and I could hardly walk!
BUT I GOT A WIN TODAY! :-)
Jase 40:29
Rog 40:43 (Ouch!)

Orienteering race 45:46 [4] 6.7 km (6:50 / km)
UKOL 3 - urban Race at Thirsk.
Didn't think this would be good for my achilles so went with the mindset of just picking the map up and seeing what there was. Guess what, I got a bit carried away - the central town but was fun and I tried not to push too hard on the achilles or on the cornering but yep I am having regrets this evening!

Run 20:00 [3]
A quick run to try out the legs and see if I'm able to run at the weekend. A tentative "yes". Ran round Dunblane trying to find the softer footpaths and pushing hard on the hills to open the lungs.

Calf recovering slowly (achilles), helped by Osteo having a go at it today. I know, sh'es very handy! Upper back now worked free - especially tight rhomboids loosened - head now all wobbly!
Felt strange all afternoon - usual post-chiropractic feelings.
Feels good. Still, no running till tomorrow or Friday....worringly empty week of training - pants.
