Warmup 7:40 [1] 1.3 km (5:54 / km)

One minute of stretching on the starting line. Thought I got the taping right this time; Saturday's job was too liberal, with today's one I don't get a chance to strain the tendon to the point of any pain.

Orienteering 1:25:22 [4] 9.7 km (8:48 / km)

Raven Rock A-meet, Day 2. Blue. At 95% intensity or more. Navigation was a bit worse than on Saturday, but the vegetation is such a lottery that running speed advantage is pretty much gone here.
Congrats to Randy for winning (first one?)
The tendon was not felt at any point.

Note

Iced the tendon, but probably waited too long (a couple hours?) after the run. Before getting on the plane in RDU, sharp pain. $*. Went through 3 cups of ice on the flight to PHX, stuffing the cubes down the sneaker. Will see how it goes.
Collected two WN bump vouchers for the trip.

Saturday Mar 23, 2002 #

Easy running 5:30 [2] 1.0 km (5:30 / km)

To the start.

Warmup 8:00 [1] 0.0 km

Stretching.

Orienteering 1:26:49 [3] 10.1 km (8:36 / km)

Raven Rock A-meet (along the US Interscholastic Champs), Day 1, Blue. Was not planning to run above 85% effort. Stepped on a dead tree early in the run and pulled the tendon a bit. The final 20 minutes or so, heavy limping.
The navigation was so-so; the intensity kept falling and I would push it up periodically, only to drop down in a few minutes.

Note

Iced the ankle right after the run, and heeding Stanislav's advice, did not go out on the planned afternoon Brown run.

Friday Mar 22, 2002 #

Easy running 12:55 [2] 2.2 km (5:52 / km)

They opened up Calabazas Creek trail (unofficially). I still have to squeeze through a locked gate to sneak from the trail into our development.

Easy running 11:40 [2] 2.1 km (5:33 / km)

Running with weights 4:30 [2] 0.8 km (5:37 / km)

From halfway between Arquez and Central to Lawrence Caltrain. The train pulled in as I was coming down the steps.

Thursday Mar 21, 2002 #

Note

Finally finished the ROC/DVOA event writeup and put it here. Mostly incoherent, personal musings.

Wednesday Mar 20, 2002 #

Note

Got a cold. That and the tendon (which appears to be quickly healing) are my excuses to not train much this week. Will try to get back to 10 hours for the next three weeks (the ultra race is coming up, too).

Note

This is the easiest cold I ever got over. I feel fine the evening of the day the symptoms started. Better life through chemistry.

Tuesday Mar 19, 2002 #

Easy running 12:12 [1] 2.1 km (5:49 / km)

Easy running 16:10 [1] 2.1 km (7:42 / km)

Maybe I should have a "barely moving; slightly faster if the wind blows" activity type.

Monday Mar 18, 2002 #

Note

Got rollerskis. Need poles, kneepads, and a helmet.
