trail 10:00 [1]
Tried to go for a slow, easy run on the trails, but after about 10 minutes my ankle was throbbing, so I just walked for about another half hour. There's very little swelling so I thought the ankle would probably be okay, but there is a lot of discoloration, so I guess it's bruised somewhat.

Note
Genesis Sprint AR at Harriman
adventure race race 7:40:00 [3]
Genesis AR in Harriman SP with Brad Whitmore. Started with an O course - luckily we had the Silvermine map so the navigation (Brad did it all) was straightforward. Did some jogging on trails but mostly stayed in the woods. Rolled my ankle on the way to CP2, but it never got too bad. Next we biked on roads down to the lakes for a kayak section. This was mostly a long gentle uphill and by the end my legs were toast. The kayaking was tough - need to do more strength work I guess if I'm going to do more of these. Portaging the kayak up the hill was brutal; kept falling. Biking back was almost all downhill which was great but totally froze my wet feet so when we had to hike the bikes along a trail I couldn't feel them at all. Brad pushed my bike almost the whole way, me stumbling along behind. The last biking section on trails was grueling - had to walk the bike a lot. But hung in there. (Joe B. and Erin won in 5:12.)

gym 25:08 [3] 3.0 mi (8:23 / mi)
3 miles on the elliptic trainer; nice and easy on the knees. Not too high on the resistance, kept the pace up.
Another 5 minutes of cool down and then stretching.

running 51:40 [3]
3 mile jog along the drive (10:15, 10:11,10:04)
9:20 jogging down; 11:50 home
Wanted to quit after 2 but stuck to the plan. Given my recent attempts to run I was rather pleased with this effort.
Did an hour of yard work to warm up my knees. This seems to work actually which is good for my yard but does mean that workouts take a bit longer! I took a hit of my asthma inhaler before I left and while my breathing was still pretty ragged it seemed better than it has for the last two or three weeks so I guess it's back to the doctor to see if I can figure out something that helps that won't land me in the hospital again.
