Orienteering race 1:06:10 *** 9.81 km (6:45 / km) +271m 5:56 / km

SOL3 Drumlanrig. Short Brown: 8.3km, 280m climb. Usual slow start, dropped half a minute on each of the first three. Got into the swing of things then and was working pretty well until I tweaked my ankle on an uneven track shortly after leaving number 8. Lost a minute and a half hobbling and taking a round the houses route to 9, then was moving poorly for the next 20 minutes until I hit the open and finally managed to stretch out. Surprised to be 2nd, only 2m20 down on Dave; without my bad ankle I'd have been maybe 3 minutes faster.
Beccy twisted her ankle in exactly the same way, as did Caspian - must be a lesson in there somewhere. On the positive side, my back was great, L knee OK, it was a gorgeous day, and I scarfed half of Will's burger nom nom nom. TRIMP 163.3.

Saturday morning LSD on the GO - 2hrs maybe equivalent to a 15 mile run. A bit cool to start. Felt fine until the 90 minute mark then got progressively more tired - legs gone before 2 hours. That's what you get when you do no stamina work over winter. TRIMP 250.9.

Time to get back to it. Vario (XC15). Relatively gentle - minor aching from the gum to start, soon gone, and no bleeding. Think I'm good to go. TRIMP 51.7.

Note
(rest day)
Unexpected second rest day due to an unplanned emergency tooth extraction. No strenuous exercise (and some heavy duty painkillers) for the rest of the day. Boo.

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

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.
