| Event: West Point A-Meet | ||
| Note | |
| Day trip to West Point for the sprint. Some time putting out and picking up controls, but hard to call it training if it was neither much physical effort nor mental effort (didn't have a map).
At least the event seemed to go well. 22 and 5. One item that was definitely a mixed blessing -- Valerie gave me a small box of chocolates, that got mostly eaten on the way home. Leg is slowly improving, will probably be able to run a little in a few days. | ||

Plus 21 and 5. | ||
Wednesday Apr 25 | ||

| Another walk, plus 20 and 4. Leg still pretty sore. Raining in the afternoon, so no ride. | ||
Tuesday Apr 24 | ||
| biking 1:15:28 [3] 20.3 mi (3:43 / mi) | |
| weight:136lbs | ||
| River Road / Old Deerfield loop, pretty flat but windy, and one of those days when it seemed like the wind was against more than it was with.
Plus another long walk. Plus stretching plus 19 pushups plus 4 pullups. And it's not dinner yet and I have my eye on a piece of chocolate.... | ||
Monday Apr 23 | ||
| biking 28:57 [3] 8.35 mi (3:27 / mi) | |
| weight:136.5lbs | ||
| Hamstring tight and sore. Went for a long walk this morning, very hot (about 90), then a short bike ride in the early evening, very windy. Then stretching and 18 pushups.
Better than doing nothing. | ||

| shoes: integrators 2006 | ||
| Day 2 at Surebridge. A little bit cooler (starting at 10:51 instead of 12:51) and I had a little bit of energy, and was doing ok, until just before #4 I tripped on the top of a fallen log and yanked my hamstring again. Another one of those -- I know immediately the day is over, no thoughts of suck it up and keep going. So after a couple of minutes I slowly start trudging off back to the finish, took about 45-50 minutes.
I got it in a little different place than last time (which was mostly at the atttachments at the top end). This was mostly along the main part of the muscle on the medial side. It feels taut and very tender. Whoopee-doo.... | ||
| C • Bummer! 3 | ||
| Note | |
| So totally bummed, I assume no orienteering for a while, have to see if I can get things back together for the rogaine, which should be doable. And in the meantime, in a totally rotten frame of mind.
But at least I went and found some good company, in this case Jeff and Judy, and then Linda too, and for a while we talked about all our aches and pains, and then Jeff complained that we sounded just like old folks and we should get back to the old days when you'd talk about who was sleeping with whom, cause that was a lot more fun to talk about, well, it got me out of my bad mood, at least for a while. And I then I took a bunch of ibuprofen and headed off with Peter and John Goodwin for a couple of hours of very leisurely rogaine practice at a course on the way home, and that turned out to be doable and very good fun, the hardest part being when I was in the control circle and just little changes in my balance would send unpleasant twinges up and down my left leg. But still very good for morale. So I guess I am back to the big D for more therapy, if she'll have me. And probably pull out the bike. And certainly keep up the rogaine training, since that is only 5 weeks away.... | ||
