| WP Day1. I surprised myself by deciding to run this thing at all, especially given how my knees felt after the Billygoat which featured similar rocky terrain, and that a pain in my R-knee just wouldn't go away. After assuring Balter for the past 2 weeks that I wouldn't even go, I volunteered to drive Goats to the meet since V-Goat suddenly sold his wheels. I figured since I am there anyway, I might as well just get out there.
The plan was to take it very easy as a training excersise. I made a goal to make 0 mistakes, since I wasn't gonna race, and see how my knees would respond. I was ready to give up if I felt like I was falling appart.
It is intersting how the "once you get your map, you will forget...." works. I was the last starter and was happy with the fact that no one would be catching me up. My legs felt surprisingly light and off I went. I even managed to find some flow untill I hit #7, however totally lost it at #8. I was cought off guard by a raw of cliffs that were situated just below the control and I was sure I was in the right spot to only find out later that I was below. Then I totally lost focus on the next pair of controls and only regained it on the way to #10.
I was happy to finish and was really surprised to see the results. My legs felt good, I didn't feel tired at all and my knees seemed to be ok. I archived the goal of taking it easy, but I didn't manage to have a clean run after all. |
