Training Log: szurcher

Note

Obviously things are not going very well in my training. I've been fighting with this back injury for 2 weeks now and I think I have caused a second small injury in the process (hip flexor). I am away from home this week working long hours on my feet (testing the Swiss O team) as well, so it will be hard to train well. I have decided, together with my personal coach, to postpone my 3k run until Tuesday the 23rd. I hope things are going better by then...

Event: US Team (unofficial) 3K time trial
 

Orienteering 50:00 5 km (10:00 / km)

For this class, we had to go practice setting controls (and deciding what the clue description will be) and then checking controls from other people who set them. I did the setting at a jog, but did one loop to check the locations at race pace. It was really fun to run fast through the woods and I felt like I had a pretty good flow. Good way to get some training in too.

running warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km)

Cool down after the fast O loop.

hiking 20:00 [0]

I took part in a course setting course all weekend, but we did get some free time to get outdoors. My hip flexor and back were hurting all day (sitting the whole time doesn't help) and so I had to decide not to go running (boohoo) and went for a walk instead.

strength 25:00 [1]

Core strength in my hotel room.
