Training Log Archive: Sandy

The weekend took its toll. I was pretty tired and drained to start and the weekend just compounded things. My knees were pretty sore by the end since I didn't stretch and ice enough over the three days.

OK outing in that I didn't make any major errors but I had no energy at all. Hesitated in several places but always figured out what was going on - so while I didn't spike all the controls, I didn't totally mess any up either.

Day 2 Green Y - Splits

Not a great run. Fine through the first 4 controls and then I let people in the woods distract me. Botched #5 - drifted left and stood there in the indistinct green trying to sort it out and couldn't - and had to relocate. After that, got pretty sloppy so lost a little bit on every control even though I knew where I was.

Day 1 Green Y - Splits

Event: US Champs
 

Manned the results table at the sprints. Had decided a while ago not to compete in the sprint.

TNT - left school early and did some vetting for Clem's courses while there was still daylight. Key, since the park closes as sunset. Decided running around the track was not what I needed to do tonight so bailed and went home after meeting up with the TNT crowd to do some transferring of various equipment for this weekend. Don't like skipping TNT but I think it was the right decision for tonight.

TNT - run on the drive with an injured Clem; Dasha joined us at the end.
4 miles in 41 minutes or so - the rest is the jog down and walk home.

Knees sore tonight but in an okay way - meaning in a way that I can tell they'll be fine tomorrow.
