Note
(injured) (rest day)

I decided to take full rest today and limited my walking because I don't want to have any issues going into the southwest spring orienteering week in Arizona.

Running warm up/down 7:36 [2] 0.74 mi (10:16 / mi)

Strength 20:00 [4]

Fun and difficult workout with Dave today. We alternated on and off the rowing machine at 1:30 intervals. When we were off we cycled through different strength exercises for two 45 second intervals. We did crunches, front plank, squats, calf raises, left plank, right plank, shoulder lifts, tricep presses, wall sit, push ups. We got 30 seconds of rest between the 1:30 or 2 x 45 second intervals.

Running warm up/down 5:00 [2] 0.48 mi (10:25 / mi)

Note
(injured)

I was planning on going for a run today but I was noticing the pain in my calf even while just walking around. This pain started right before I left for Portugal and got really bad by the last few days of the trip. I'm thinking that it is related to my ankle brace, because I don't have any other explanation for why I'm only experiencing pain in my left leg. I'm pretty sure it's muscular because rolling it out SUCKS.

Running Drills warm up/down 6:35 [3] 0.53 mi (12:25 / mi) +2m 12:17 / mi

Orienteering race 43:17 [4] 4.93 km (8:47 / km) +92m 8:02 / km

The weather made parts of this course actually terrifying. It was super windy, especially up on the cliffs and I was really worried my map or myself was going to fly away. The course went pretty well, I followed through with my strategy to be cautious and confident to the first control. I think all my errors were in the circle... I really need to work on my visualization because this has been an issue for me for a while now.

Running warm up/down 3:56 [3] 0.41 mi (9:35 / mi) +11m 8:51 / mi

Orienteering race 45:58 [4] 4.78 km (9:37 / km) +146m 8:21 / km

Pretty successful race today. I was focusing a lot on clean attacks and exits, and it really paid off. I was running with a Swedish girl for a lot of the course which helped me quite a bit, but I lost her when I had a mistake on a pretty short leg (#12). I think I did the classic underestimating of a small leg that leads to an embarrassing mess up. Super wet day! At least it isn't too cold.

Orienteering 38:13 [3] 4.08 km (9:22 / km) +63m 8:42 / km

First model map of the day. I was hitting everything dead on and had a really good flow! I'm excited about the races.

1 PM

Orienteering 19:08 [3] 2.16 km (8:52 / km) +12m 8:38 / km

Shoot - realized halfway through that I had been looking at the 1:7500 map the whole time instead of the 1:10000... I quickly changed over and slowed down to get used to it, but I was reading that pretty well too. Again, good flow, felt confident the whole time. It was quite miserable out so I didn't stay out longer than I needed.
