 | Orienteering 53:57 [2]*** | |
| spiked:8/11c (injured) |
| Ran on the Webster Park permanent course with Nate - did 'Course 3' plus 3 other controls in the middle. Gave Nate a 2-minute head start, caught him at the 3rd control, but he got back ahead of me with a better route towards the 5th control, and beat me to the 6th and 7th controls. I was taking the course too routinely and was thrown off by the added controls that I had to approach from unusual directions - plus the park looks quite different in the winter (even with no snow). |

 | Biking 45:00 [3]14.57 mi (3:05 / mi) | |
| ahr:131 max:141 (injured) |
| Manual Level 11 for 40 minutes (avg 90 rpm), with 5 min cool down at 10, 9, 8.
I should try to run tomorrow - my knee is not scaring me anymore and my left calf is recovering - but off-road. Tough to fit it in: 10 events on the calendar for tomorrow - I'll only attend or provide transportation for 7 or 8.
My ankle started bothering me noticelably in the middle - going up even small hills was painful and I couldn't run hard enough to keep up with Nate - had to out-navigate him. |

 | Note | |
| (injured) |
| Guess I overdid it yesterday. Between the right ankle and knee soreness from hockey and the left calf soreness from the O meet, I was in no position to even swim today. |
Sunday Jan 22 |
 | Hockey 1:20:00 [3] | |
| |
| Hockey practice at Thomas Creek at 6:30am. Scrimmaged the last 20 minutes. Tweaked my right ankle and knee on an awkward spill. |
 | Running 5:00 [2]0.57 mi (8:46 / mi) | |

| brief w/up to loosen up after working the start finish for 1+ hours (outside). |
 | Orienteering race 1:27:33 [4]*** 11.38 km (7:42 / km) | |
| spiked:27/30c |
| Since there is no snow(!), ROC held a score-o as part of Winterfest at Mendon Ponds Park. Most controls were quite simple, with a fair amount of running in between. I was the only one to clear all 30 controls (Rob H had 27; Timothy seems to have picked up a serious injury earlier in the week, and may be out a while), but if the hockey spill this AM didn't impart serious injury on me, this effort may have - my left calf (same old) was wearing out, and became sore afterwards. My legs were also cramping after getting back in the car.
I think I came up with a solid route to collect all of the controls, and I only had relatively small bobbles (biggest mistake was blindly running down a hill towards a big swamp, when the control was down a different hill near a pond). |
