Sike, my hip still hurts

C • PT 2

I have to cross a semi-busy road to get to the park I like to run in and today it was especially busy and no one wanted to let me cross. It's so annoying. They are flying down the street at at least 10 miles over the speed limit, blatantly ignoring the flashing lights and "stop for pedestrians" signs and I just have to jog in place hoping there will be an opening. This happens way too often when I'm just trying to run and I'm getting sick of it

Oh, and my hip feels pretty much back to normal

C • Cars 2

Testing the hip and focusing on form. It didn't hurt per se, just felt sort of weird. My balance felt completely off though, which I think is the root of my problems.

So wow. I'm so out of shape when it comes to swimming. But hey, it didn't hurt my hip, so that's good

Hip felt okay around 11 min/mile, so that's where I stayed at

I'm going to take it easier or cross-train for the next couple of days until my hip hates me a little less. Yesterday was a lot of fun, but it wasn't conducive to healing/ staying uninjured

Event: Susquehanna Stumble @ Patuxent River Park (QOC)
 

Susquehanna Stumble; 14km course, 10:33 min/km

Route Gadget

Overall, a fun, fairly clean run
Mistakes/Bad Route Choices:
6) I wimped out and thought the green was worse than it was so I went too far around. I started the leg with Angelica and finished it 20 or so meters behind her, so I definitely lost some time there
8) Took the road instead of the woods which was apparently the wrong choice. Also, this road run is what aggravated my hip, so I started watching it starting here
16) Not a mistake, but it was slower because I decided to let Angelica's pack go and change my game plan from, do well, to, complete it cleanly. I also took the trail in the beginning so I didn't charge blindly into the forest, still in following mode
23) Started getting sloppy because Peggy had caught me and then (my recurring problem) I wasn't confident enough in my plan so I changed it halfway to do what everyone was doing, losing some time
U (from T): Hit it dead on, but probably shouldn't have swung so wide
Q (from S): Exited wrong and started to check the wrong reentrant
41) Honestly, I didn't have a plan and it shows. I just went in the right direction and made it up as I went along. I ended up climbing the bank too quickly and wasted too much time checking the wrong area before I (actually Victor) realized what I'd done

Order of windows:
1) A, B, C, D, E
2) G, H, I, J, F
3) L, M, P, K, O, N
4) R, T, U, S, Q
5) Y, X, Z, W, V

Hip and knee survived, they flared going to 8, so I slowed down a tad until they felt better. All things considered, they could've been a lot worse
