Note
(rest day)
Rest day required - back grumpy after yesterday's mammoth drive. L knee swollen again, too.

Orienteering race 31:19 5.33 km (5:53 / km) +138m 5:12 / km

JK Relay, Senior Men leg 2 - 5.1km. Quite chuffed with this effort. Had a very solid run by my modest standards: moving well (very surprised at how well the legs were working after yesterday) and with no notable errors to report. Third fastest on the leg, I managed to extend Roger's 8s lead to nearly 4 minutes, not that I knew at the time. Alas I also didn't know that Rog had mispunched on leg 1; but I'm not too disappointed, because I still had a good day to finish off the weekend. TRIMP 92.2.
Very happy with how the body held together this weekend. Just the swollen L knee after the long race, legs still in good shape for the relay, and no back issues at all until the predictable aches during the 9 hour drive home after racing.

M45L 10.8km. Decent run spoiled by one complete brain fade 9 minute error - just one control making the difference between satisfaction and disappointment with the whole race. Usual faffing and a minute lost on each of #8 and #16, but it was when I was getting into the groove and tried to start attacking the forest that I came unstuck. Found myself in the wrong place on a vague slope near #10 and my brain was too addled to work out how to relocate.
Happy enough with how the body and legs held together but cross with myself because of that one duff up. Oh well. Lucky with the weather. Knees completely fried afterwards, L knee quite heavily swollen; getting around the relay tomorrow is going to be a challenge. TRIMP 237.4.

Jog to the start, trying to get some life into the legs. TRIMP 26.3.

ahr:157 max:168 shoes: VJ Irocs
JK Middle, M45L: 5.5km/105m. Never going to be a great one, this! Very stale after a week of gentle family walks. Slow to one, missed #5, caught in a thicket to #9 - all would account for 2.5 minutes, and my control flow was as poor as ever (SIAC cards worth a minute or more on my course today!) but I'd still have been well off the pace; just couldn't get the legs going fast enough. TRIMP 129.3.
