Man, my elbow is screwed after my stack yesterday! Can't really use it to do anything as it's too sore, but on the plus side I'm getting skilled at using my left arm to do everything haha. At least my legs still function normally.

Warm up - hardly worth logging haha. And no warm down.

Wasn't too pumped for this before the start, but felt pretty good running and was navigating ok for the first loop so was keen to try and smash it out. But at the start of the second loop I stacked and really hurt my elbow. Spent a while sitting down to wait until it stopped hurting so much (thanks to everyone who kindly stopped to help me!). Really didn't want to DNF so decided to keep going. Had to go pretty slowly as it jarred a lot when I ran, and also hurt to flex/extend, so I tried not to use it at all (which was hard in the thick steep stuff, as grabbing onto trees is usually useful!). Happy to get around though...until I saw that I'd miss-punched! Dammit!!

Don't actually know what I did to my elbow...but it really hurts! Hopefully will be ok in a few days...

Course 2 ABA - Splits

Event: Adelaide NOL
 

warm up and down for the whole day

Sprint Qual in the morning.
Had a pretty terrible race! Got confused by all the levels and often ended up on the wrong one...mostly because I wasn't reading my map properly - was nervous and was in too much of a rush! Surprised to make the final!

Don't remember exact time...but it was something like this. Had a flustered start due to this confusion with the wrong maps - the start officials were all distracted after 6 or so girls came back, so I had to prompt someone to tell me where the start triangle was and which was my correct map! Was an ok run though, no real mistakes but probably made some slow route choices. Felt a bit sluggish running

2C - Splits

Course 2 - Splits

Easy run with some strides along the river. According to BOM it was 29 degrees at 9.30am, which explains why I was sweating so much after a tiny short run! Feels super muggy...going to have to stay well hydrated over the weekend

Did this in two parts cuz I went this morning but felt SO BAD and only did 15mins, then went again in the evening and felt better but still only did 20mins. Meant to do a short ride today but felt like running instead....
Not really liking this Adelaide weather! And the forecast for the rest of the week looks gross!

C • weather 4

Stretching after my run

Went running at Morialta with the arrows, yaaay! I felt screwed after 10mins, maybe cuz it was pretty hot and muggy, and I was mindful of the NOL this weekend... So i suggested we make it shorter haha. Hopefully I can do these runs regularly!
Bridget took me to the beach after, just as the sun was setting :D
