walk/run warmup

big bone lick map. didn't even think about calf, its perfect, no pain/tightness/twinges, etc. the entire weekend, so i'm really super happy about that.
thought i had done better, i had alot of issues with the rain on map and magnifier especially in the ditch cities. 2 bad errors. going into 2 had dry ditch issues, seemed like extra ones down there. ended up to the right and too low. messed up 13 went slighty left out of 12 up to trail, ran a bit east to near the white then dropped down to trail, cut the corner then took off and ran past control and was messing around S of control then bailed to trail went back a bit and found it i think it was over 4 min, ugh. took bad route to 9, went straight but through trail/clearing then then jungle was like a crawl. should have run up to campground and down. everything else i was trying to go straight. physically felt ok, just cant figure out how orienteer. somehow kicked ass to 4 though.

Middle Sunday 8 Blue - Splits

didn't register for sprint (calf worry), this type of terrain is dreadful to me, continuously screwed up because of scale like bombing the first control, and the navigation by vegetation and unrunability made for a dreadful result. once again calf was fine, in the areas i could run tried to go faster, only to botch in the circle/vegetation.

same type of warmup as friday

Middle - Saturday8 Blue - Splits

warm up before race, stretched calves alot, followed by +/-10 min of walking, the about 15-20 min slow jogging. walked up hill to start 2x. calf felt good.

ran blue because stas told me to a couple weeks ago. start to 1 was uphill which i cant stand because of potential for calf blowout. so it was powerwalk, a bit of run etc. was really trying to run everything straight. no bad errors, but balter criticized me for all my small errors, stas will want to beat me, but the review is great because he sees so much intricate detail that i never even notice.......and he does it all blindfolded!!. i was somewhat conservative because i was worried about calf, but it was perfect, no pain, no tightness. i like this type of terrain; grunt and torture.
