Training Log Archive: Mick

Setup and pickup for the Long. My ITB/knee was sore this morning, and throughout the day. I felt the most pain when standing with my leg straightened. It was much less painful if my knee was a little bent. I guess I'll take it easy this week and hope that I'm ok for NAOC.

Event: 2012 Ontario Orienteering Championships
 

To say that I had other things on my mind before this race would be an understatement, but it went remarkably well. I forgot my control description holder, which is certainly a pain in a middle where I'd use it frequently. I didn't have high expectations given my lack of training lately, but the terrain suited me well with good visibility and contours similar to areas that I run in frequently (Dryden and Sudden Tract). I goofed on CP 13, 17, and 18. 18 was a bad one. I left the control 90 degrees in the wrong direction. I felt in control the whole way, and in retrospect I could have pushed harder. Nick did a great job with the course.
