Event: CSU Pine Hill A-meet
Running warm up/down 15:00 [1]
shoes: Integrators
Orienteering (Semi-final) 32:14 [3] *** 4.3 km (7:30 / km) +95m 6:45 / km
shoes: Integrators
Ok racing. Had problems with side stitch again. Managed to keep the pain at bay however not without a great deal of time loss. The complete story is told in my splits. I was slightly ahead of Joe Brautigam at #8 and then the stitch hit and my split times dropped. In the end I lost two places.
Orienteering (Final) 47:37 [3] *** 5.8 km (8:13 / km) +150m 7:16 / km
shoes: Integrators
Unfortunately it happened again in the final. This time on the way to #7. I was a full minute slower then most on that control. Luckily I had some short wooded legs to recover and was able to run carefully for the rest of the race.
Whenever I felt pain swelling in my side I focused on breathing in for two steps and out for two steps. This seemed to keep the pain at bay. Perhaps these stitches are related to the heavy training load of the past week and a worn out core. I have had this trouble ever since I started running blue. More core workouts and continued training will hopefully put these stitches to rest.
