128 Pushups

Orienteering Race at City De Jeune. All in all this was a good run. I didn't feel super energetic when I got there, but once I got going my speed picked up and my legs felt quite good. I didn't have any major issues with any controls, only overshooting 2 of them by a small amount. I made great use of the contours, as the terrain in that area is perfect for that sort of exercise. Visualizing them went really well, and I was able to navigate using the mental image quite well, which was a really good practice

About 20 minutes of warmup prior to my race, consisting of all the usual dynamic stretch's, as well as A's B's and C's.

Third [practice track meet, still at Terry fox track. Did the 3000m and beat both my previous times, at 10:10. This was pushing it today, as my legs felt tired still from the race on the weekend, however once I got going I managed to keep going for long enough. Came a little close to blacking out, so next time I will try drinking and eating more throughout the day before my race

Track practice after school, consisting of about 30 minutes of dynamic exercise, and then an easy 3000m, followed by static and dynamic stretching again. Not a very tough practice, but loosened up my legs for the race tomorrow.

I could tell my legs were in bad shape so I spent more time at home after the track practice stretching, rolling, and massaging in order to loosed them up.

Continued the plan of loosening everything up for the race by taking an ice bath, followed by a hot bath. I need to do more research as too which is better, but I am a little to wimpy to spend very long in the ice bath, which is why I switched over
