Prelim sprint at UC Berkeley! I figured my hip was recovered enough to run a couple of sprints, so we signed up for one day of the SF Sprint Weekend. (I was worried about running multiple days in a row.) My hip was kind of bothering me while I was warming up, but after some stretching seemed to settle in, and I didn't have any pain either in my hip or my foot while orienteering. Yay!
The orienteering was about as clean as you could expect after doing nothing for 3 months. I made a bunch of pretty stupid mistakes. Nothing massive, but everything adds up. It was super fun to be orienteering again, though. I think I had a massive smile on my face for the first half while I was like running! fast(er than normal)! And then a massive grimace on my face for the second half while I was like running...faster than normal...
Presto was quite the happy camper :-).

B final at UC Berkeley! I missed out on the A final by like 15 or 20 seconds, which was sad but not really a surprise, so B final it was. My body seemed sort of confused that we were going to run again. But I convinced it that this would be fun, and it was. My mistakes were fewer but larger this time, I was slower, and Presto was draggier.
The course was still super fun. Paul who started a minute or 2 behind me caught me on the way to 10 and then we had a lot of back and forth for the rest of the course, which was fun.
After the sprints, a bunch of us had a picnic and then got cinnamon rolls, which was pretty much the perfect end to a great day!
Stretching 10:00 [3]
Normal stretching. I think I will be sore. But my hip feels fine, so woohoo!
