| O - competition race (Boulder Dash green x) 1:18:27 [5]**** 5.1 km (15:23 / km) | |
| spiked:9/16c |
| Not nearly as clean as yesterday. Fumbled on #1, even tho it was near one of our last controls yesterday. Also minor hesitations on #9, 12, and 13, losing about 30 sec each. Big trouble on #15, unable to find small single contour reentrant in the midst of thick evergreen saplings. Lost 5 min on that one.
Seemed like the results were a battle over who managed to experience the fewest disasters. Was happy I recovered quickly from most of my misdirections. Felt comfortable with map and read the terrain well. Dropped to 3rd on green for the weekend, but held onto 2nd M-55 by 4 sec.
Avoided pounding down the hills, and saved the knee considerable abuse. Talking with Steve Olafsen, decided the calf muscle is very tight and overloading the tendons and knee joint. Makes sense as the same calf used to rip up my achilles regularly 15 years ago. Cure is to run every day easy and not just once or twice a week. Appears I've done too much cross training and not kept the muscles stretched. Will try it as is much more proactive than just sitting and waiting for things to heal. |
