PTOC event at Lexington Lake. We carpooled with Sandy, which was great to catch up. And Dean set an interesting course. And some of the fields had been burned, yeah! Trails were muddy and slippery, woods were the usual thorny crap. I walked for 10 minutes prior to starting and my foot didn't hurt during the race, woo hoo! I jogged several times for 300-400m each time.

Mostly pleased with my focus and navigation. Getting better at ignoring people in general, but I was pulled off by Mike near 2 and a couple at another rootstock near 10. Didn't stay on line going to 5, and probably picked the wrong route choice to 11.

Nice to chat with people after the finish and not to have to do anything to organize the event.



My quads are really tired now, and my foot hurts a little bit, but this is definitely progress.

Running assessment at PT

walking warm up then short jog on treadmill that measured foot pressure. They also filmed me from the side and the back.

My running mechanics are basically fine, but some areas to improve:
1. I favor my right foot when running and there is a lot of variability on how I hit the ground. Probably still afraid of my injury.
2. My left knee is too straight when I hit the ground.
3. I lean slightly to the right when my right foot is on the ground.
4. I run upright, should bend a bit more at the hips

Strengthen hips
More ankle and calf flexibility

300m jog/150m walk repeats at Holcom
The wind had picked up and it felt like the temps were dropping so I was a bit underdressed
