Strength and Stretching (PT Exercises) 5:00 [0]

Immediately before my start.

Orienteering race (US Champs Day 1) 1:10:08 [5] *** 10.32 km (6:48 / km)
ahr:178 max:194 spiked:25/27c shoes: IceBug Neon Green

Very good race!

I started early and set myself a goal: To cross the finish line before anyone who started behind me. I did it!!

I ran my race, being technically spot on, and maintaining a good pace throughout the run. At #4 I caught up with Wyat and from them on we were together for most of the race. At the third to last control I picked up the pace and was able to pull away from Wyat enough to finish ahead of him! I could've run a bit harder but tomorrow is longer and I'd rather put all I have into that race.

Map soon...

The full routine in front of Sierra Trading Post. Got a few funny looks but it felt soooo good to do them...

Orienteering 21:41 [2] *** 3.18 km (6:49 / km)
spiked:8/9c shoes: IceBug Neon Green

Ran a little of the morning race, just enough to get the heavy feeling out of my legs. I haven't done this much running since my injury and considering I have two long hard days coming up next, I decided to take it real easy... It turned out to be a very good decision!

Drove up to Wyoming and tried to go to one of the training maps of the area, instead the thunderstorms made us just do a trail run at Tie City. It was Sandra, Kat and I.

Strength and Stretching (PT Exercises AM) 10:00 [0]

Sandra suggested that I do these right before I run to activate the support muscles that have been hurting me. I did that today and either it worked, or because I didn't run hard, or a combination of both, my hip didn't hurt hardly at all...!

Miscellaneous Orienteering 39:18 [2] 5.13 km (7:40 / km)
shoes: IceBug Neon Green

Sandra and I went up to Round Mountain with a couple of my old courses from the area. We didn't run all of each course but got in some good O training time. I made one HUGE mistake while following a bearing. I've been drifting left lately and this time drifted way left, almost 45 degrees and when I came out of the woods in the wrong spot, got totally confused and didn't relocate well either. Bleurg!

We had lunch in 11 Mile Canyon and got our feet wet in the cool river. Very nice!
