Event: 2016 NEOC Troll Cup: High Rock
 

Calf still sore so I only did some easy warm up. Plan was to run easy but clean. I wanted to eliminate hesitation.
I was slow but clean. the woods were much greener than mapped which helped slow everyone else down.

I decided to run harder this event. I was also sloppier but overall did better and was faster. I was happy with my run. My calf was still bothering me.

This was the playoff game. As a 4 seed we were playing the #1 seed.
I only played about a 1/2 game before I strained my right calf. Since I was competing this weekend I stopped right away and didn't play anymore.
We ended up losing badly 9-2. Oh well.

Still sore from yesterday so went for an easy run. I wasn't sure how I would feel. After the first mile Ioosened up some so went the whole distance but probably should have only done 3. I was tightening back up by the end.

After my run, Darcy came home so we went for a walk. The new development tore down a few more acres of trees.

I started late as I was doing control pickup. It was still cold out but I dressed warmly knowing that the distance was more than I could handle so I may be walking by the end.
I started off ok but just felt tired. I made a minor mistake going to #8 but corrected fairly quickly. going to 9 I lost time as I wasn't sure if we were allowed to run around the gullys. It looked like it was in people's yard. After hesitating, I crossed the gully which took awhile.
Leaving control 9 I twisted my ankle badly. Looking at the map there were only two places to cross the highway and if I was going to quit I needed to decide. I decided to hobble to 10 and see how things felt. By 10 my ankle felt ok so I decided to keep going. By this point I was already starting to run out of steam so got slower.
I missed a trail going to 12 so lost lots of time.
Going to 20 I didn't want to cross the stream and got confused that the small stream was the large stream so I kept trying to run around. I finally had to wade across the small stream. 3 minutes lost.

Very tired from my run and stiff. I hobbled around and picked up controls.
