| Middle Trials. Kept it clean and careful, and had a decent result. Got showed up by the winners though that I was too careful to have a great result. I think some stronger compass work would have helped, as I was doing a lot of map reading which resulted in rather indirect, careful routes. |
| Orienteering warm up/down 30:00 [2] 3.3 km (9:05 / km) +60m 8:20 / km | |
| shoes: O-VJ Integrator Spikes |
| Warmup, and 'cooldown' on White with AJ, who runs half or more of the course these days. |

|
| Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi) +100m 7:38 / mi | |
| shoes: O-VJ Integrator Cleats |
| Warmup only. No cooldown. Worried about L-knee at hit it with ice a few times after. Clem used even more ice... |
| Orienteering race 22:16 [4] 4.62 km (4:49 / km) +40m 4:37 / km | |
| ahr:180 max:187 shoes: O-VJ Integrator Cleats |
| Team Trials Sprint. Much better result than expected (over 90 points) in part due to the relatively technical Sprint area and my fairly clean run in it (one 15 second route choice error was the worst...)
Very impressed with the map - flipping it over to see a massive, Euro-quality urban sprint map was really amazing.
Happy my knee held up okay - only two icings needed to mostly quell it afterwards. |

| Partially with Oriana, my taper's in full swing.
I wonder if Clem's "knee bruise" was just a clever bit of acting to disguise a 3-week pre-Trials taper? Sly... |

| ahr:130 max:143 shoes: R-Saucony Gray |
| Fatlands with GPS. Took too long to get to the trails I wanted to map well, so I only did 2-passes (out and back) and the GPS was pretty biased between the two tracks so it's hard to use for mapping... Better than not having the trail on the map on June 9, but not up to my usual standard... |

| After looking at the results of the Canadian and Australian WOC Trials this past weekend, I was initially pretty happy that the US WOC Trials will be substantially easier. On a personal level, that means I've still got a shot at making the team when still recovering from injury, which is good. There's basically no chance I could have made either the Canadian, let alone the Australian team, in the shape I'm in. Which then led me to think that's not so good for the state of the US Team... We're really not doing that good with getting together clusters of fast orienteers for regular training and associated movitation...
Anyway, this post was about a run, on some nice new trails Angelica, Tom & I found north of the Freedom's foundation. Unfortunately, the last 5 minutes were downhill for the L-knee. Not catastrophically, but enough to suggest it's not recovered enough for any long training...
Calves a lot better after the run than before. |
