Orienteering 45:00 [3] 3.5 km (12:51 / km)
Set out on the course at Bon Tempe - but didn't finish.
For some reason, I was in a very grouchy mood this morning. My focus was very off and navigation stunk. My motivation was also very low. On top of that, my legs were pretty sore. Further compounding things, there was no water on the course and I was getting dehydrated.
Put all that together, and I didn't see much reason to keep running. Better to recover some and run hard tomorrow. Plus, with Bon Tempe being such a crummy map, there wasn't much to learn by walking the course either. So, I just paused awhile to enjoy the view, and then jogged back to finish. Partly jogged anyhow. Normally jogging gets the endorphins pumping and I start to feel better - today it didn't, and I ended up walking most the way.
I suspect that much of this can be traced back to yesterday's massage. It certainly explains the sore legs. This deep tissue stuff is supposed to break up scar tissue too - so running was probably dumping toxins into the blood.
