Training Log Archive: Hammer

Gula Stigen to and back from Stadskogen. Didn't take water and it was my first run in hot temps. Knee was sore after sprint, struggled home deydrated and tired almost puked in the living room while icing knee.

Ran Tempo Cup Sprint with Boris' TP (and one cardboard roll) controls. This really hurt and that caused several problems of lack of concentration. Missed #1 (map?), couldn't find#3 but I'm sure I was there, ditto for #6 and #11. So lost some time doing extra 5s searches before moving on. Ran 22.35 (3 minutes behind J. Troeng's time last month) but I blame that on my time in the long finish line for three reasons: 1) An unmarked kids playground with uncrossable fence around it which forced me back into the woods, 2) the knee was really in big time pain and 3) two ladies sunbathing wearing only thongs 10m from the finish line made the final sprint go a lot slower. Aaah Sprint-O. Contemplated doing the Ferris Bueller "Hello Ladies I'm Ferris" routine. Last weekend the UK Sprint race CP #10 was beside a young Danish couple getting it on (apparently I ran right by them - too focused I guess). Aaah Sprint-O.

Happy Canada Day eh! adductors, abductors, flexors, vmo, etc.

Setting up the Borje Beach Sprint for Boris at Sunnersta.

Evening jog testing knee with Adventure Girl. Knee was no good so we had more fun hiding in the rocks on Etoile.

So 3 weeks of RICE and several hundred bucks of 'knee treatments', lots of taping and exercises the knee feels exactly like it did at the start. OK on soft flat ground but lots of pain on hard ground and hills. Not sure what to do now....

COrE4COke. Knee treatment this morning and Marten worked it good as he said "you have really messed this knee up". I was hoping that this would be the last treatment but I can still feel the pain just walking 12 hours later. Will test run it tomorrow afternoon.

Gula stigen. A little faster in places. Painful yes, but a bit better too.
