SMR on calves, glutes and adductors
upper and lower body static stretches
1*20 march, bridge, cobra, shin raises
4*10, 2*5 press ups with balance exercises in between

Easy jog with Ulrika & friend.

So my pelvis is actually quite bad and needs rest. Uncomfortable today even real slow. This is f-ing typical - and this year was going so well from an injury perspective. Am really fucked off. Still, at least Nick found my glasses so I can actually see properly when orienteering again.

So my totally unqualified opinion is that the impact to my pelvis has not affected the integrity of my structure. I was a bit worried on Tues as releasing the knots in my right calf was suddenly less painful in comparison to my left (it was always the udder way around). Today they were pretty much equally knotted - pleased to report not that much. All lower body stretches seem to feel the same as they always have and running last night felt fine and balanced. I therefore conclude that it is just badly bruised.

Managed 9 press ups on the last set today! Gradually building that endurance back up. Although I guess I could be losing weight. Or maybe my arms are shrinking.

Nackaresrvatet NW. Hesitated around 1, was much further S than expected. Overshot 2 trying to run down an indistinct veg change (idiot) but got caught by one of the Naturpasset pernament controls that I visited a few weeks back. 7 I never found - spent best part of 8mins looking for it, relocating off several different features nearby always coming back to the same marsh, the one I ran into on the first go. The hanger said he put it in the right place and I am down on the results as MP so maybe I was wrong (er... no way, I think) or maybe the map is really dodgy (unlikely). Or maybe it was nicked and they couldn't be bothered to amend the results - fair play it's only an informal. Took a well shite route to 8 not my fault haha - my flow was obv all messed up by 7. 10 a bit hesitant in the circle. Dunno how I ended so far off on 12 and at 14 I was too far down in the reentrant.

Was physically on fire today. Felt so fast it was dangerous esp when the rain came down and my vision went from blurred to more blurred - had to take it easy on some of the rocky bits after that. Pelvis pain was worse again today - looks like last night's sprint race did it no good at all.

Lill-Janskogen & KTH-Campus. 90/297. Could feel pelvis walking around and warming up b4hand but not during the race.

Enjoyable sprint race some tricky bits including the first control - three options looking at it now and I think the one I chose was maybe one of the slightly slower two. Messed 5 up by running up some stairs, then almost down a dead end, then back down some stairs all of which was unnecessary. Went a bit wide on the long leg to 7 then ran out of air not breathing enuf. Got my stitch under control, hesitant to 8, missed the direct route to 9 and hesitated with Olle Bostrom at 10 (he's f-ing fast you know but I kept up with him for one leg - he was navigating, I was breathing) and the rest clean.

Pelvis is deffo worse as a result of running but not an awful lot.

More SMR, stretching, core and balance work. Managed 7 press ups on the last set today - when I can do 10 I will add another 2 sets which will mean 2 more sets of balance exercises too! Gradually build it up and all that.

So it has emerged as expected that the pelvis impact is a lot more significant than the knee impact. The pelvis hurts when on the floor doing exercises and in the bath doing erm... washing. The knee was just a bit stiff Sun/Mon and is now just a bruise - can't even feel it anymore.
