O training at Sparrow. Did a series of mass starts with Jas, Kathryn and Shannon. Went well for the first two (16mins, 12mins), though needed to be more certain coming into a few controlls (slow down and have good attk).
Knee started to hurt part way through the long leg back so I walked back.

Sprint O at canberra uni. 5min warm up then a few controlls in the buildings. Knee started a bit so walked back, didnt want to irritate it by running more.

Stromlo O race. Did the first loop quite well nav wise. Was running quite fast though it was super hot and I had really bad stomach cramps/stitch (from drinking too much at the drug testing in the morning- which took 3hours by the way!)
Stopped halfway thru the second loop as leg started to hurt. Tried to keep going but there was a fair way to go.

C • drug testing 3

Running technique with Lex Anderson at actas. Was good. Main things were arms, faster/lighter feet, not overstriding and being straighter.

Night O!! My favourite discipline! Ran the first loop well and got away from the others, though I did have some compass issues coming back along the hillside to the pivot (my compass was sticking a bit.. later realised it was my northern one). Jas caught on the second loop when I took a bad rc through a thicker part, and I made a bad mistake at the end running all the way down to the road to the fence rether than follownin the powerlines I thought were a fence.
Lots of fun, and most importantly my leg/knee didnt hurt at ALL!
Physio today must have been good (massage, stretches and knee taping)

Morning run at Cape Conran. Tempo intervals of 8, 6, 4mins then leg got sore.

Cape Conran. Early morning run before field work. Knee bit sore by end.
