Event: QOC Clopper Lake
Orienteering race 1:17:10 [2] 8.6 km (8:58 / km) +250m 7:50 / km
(injured)
QOC Clopper Lake Blue - lovely day on a new (though previewed at a summer series event) map. Had been undecided as to whether to walk, jog or some combination but moving around the area in the hour or two before starting, I convinced myself I was capable of jogging without feeling any new damage taking place in my left hamstring. So I started out jogging and being very careful about where I placed my feet, figuring the main risk of turning a mild muscle strain into a severe one was taking a fall, and it turned out I was able to keep that up to the end. A few route choices I could second guess but I think no truly bad ones. No problems executing with my effort level so far below red line resulting in a very clean run. I'm nevertheless surprised to have ended up 2nd, faster than Ted, Victor, and John Campbell. Though if AP time lost estimates are to be believed, it would have been virtually a dead heat with Ted and Victor if they'd run clean.

Cycling 25:00 [3]
Getting to race and then to pick up rental car afterwards.
Running race 19:20 [5] 5.0 km (3:52 / km) +50m 3:41 / km
Bulldog-Eagle Cross Country 5K - 3rd overall, precise time is a guess, not sure whether that's the best result I've had in I think 4 times running this race. I don't recall being quite so close behind the winner (18:55) in any previous running. Unfortunately, my weak link of a left hamstring didn't like something that happened during the race - nothing severe enough to stop me finishing in style but it stiffened up and felt fragile rapidly thereafter. Hopefully it's only the lowest level of severity when it comes to muscle strains and giving it several days to a week of lighter duty will suffice for a full recovery.
