 | Orienteering 52:00  9 km (5:47 / km) | |
| |
| Model event of the European Champs in Ventspils.
Did 4x5min O intervals. It went pretty well. The least hip aching I have ever felt so far. The hip felt more stiff than actually aching :-). From time to time when I would trip over something it would be shooting pain, but only a 2-3 times on the whole course.
This was the first time I orienteered in 5 weeks! And I know why I love this sport, it was just awesome. Well, the amazing coastal terrain did help. Overall I was quite satisfied with my technique. |

| Traveling to Latvia to the European Champs. Took advantage of the change over in Copenhagen to do a therapeutic jog. It was a good opportunity to run to the sea and do a core strength session on the beach. |

| Today my hip was again hurting more. This time at a new place, the adductor were causing actually quite sharp pain.
But while I was running the soreness got better and better... I wouldn't have believed it before going out... also more I was happy to come back from my jog painfree. |

| Hometrainer intervals.
My hip doesn't hurt this morning eventhough I did a tough run yesterday evening... so I decide I will run at the EOC next week. But only at the middle distance and maybe at the relay. A few days ago I started loosing hope that I have chances to run, but now it looks much better... YEAH!!!
Going to a competition with an injury is really tough, but I have hit rock bottom earlier. Now I only feel like I have a chance to run and I have nothing to loose anymore.

Damned. My hip is feeling more sore than I would have expected. Actually the soreness is different than usually, at a slightly different place and feeling differently... it's a bumpy road. |

| EOC Test. Ran 7min through the woods and 5min on the road at high tempo to see how my leg is doing... warming up I felt aching and I thought it would be really painful if I run fast... but it didn't. The aching didn't get worse. That is a good sign for the EOC. Now I will see how my leg feels tomorrow morning. |
