Legs were tired so I decided to sit out the sprint champs.
It looked like a great course and was won by Oivind (I'm
listed as mispunched but I never started -bizarre). Anyway by resting that allowed me to run the relay with our awesome JWOC juniors instead. Actually with Danish Dynamite in Hamilton I drew the short straw among the griz, Oivind and I to try and claim the club relay title. Extra pressure after Emma and Jan Erik (who still have two years as juniors) won the site titles earlier in the morning. Course was boring and easy but i got us around fast enough not losing too much time. Emma anchored to the win. a fun end to a week.
So that's it for O for a while. Time to rest the legs and do some paddling
Nationals middle. disaster. time lost: 2 on 2, 1 on 3, 9 on 6. with the exception of the 2014 corn maze its been a very long time I've made a 9+ minute mistake. ugh. I just couldn't get into the map in the flat bits and didn't know how to adjust race strategy ...but I beat Oivind. ;-). did another hike afterwards so I'm happy knee is holding up
Perfect taper for Nationals. Not! Up and then down a mountain with Tarno and MitoBlaine on a super hot day. Knee was fine so i totally raced
the downhill. was super fun to do that because it has been a while since I felt comfortable on the downhill. But I might pay for it this weekend.
longest run in a while so I'm getting excited about training again.
