Spin at Pulse. Then some rolling and some stretching open up the hips after the long drive yesterday. Legs feel better today than they did on Sunday morning.

Good warm up and while the knee was hurting the legs felt good

Legs felt good today but made mistakes on 5 of the 14 CPs. Missed #1,3,4,5 to start. Settled down and ran well for a few but made an odd nav error to 11. Pushed hard after that and just ignored the knee. Fun terrain. tough and technical at times.

Red day 2 - Splits

Event: West Point A-Meet
 

easy warm-up. Realized jogging to start that the knee pain coupled with the heat that it was going to be a long day.

West Point sufferfest. Tough terrain and heat coupled with a sore knee made for a long race. Very likely the highest time per km I've ever had while still only making <20 seconds of mistakes. Missed #17 which was odd because I walked most of it and was in a crowd. Pushed hard on the short technical legs but wayyyy too much walking. Body seems to be OK after this which is good. So much amazing terrain down here. Brings back great memories of the annual week long training camps with Oivind, Ross, BG, Tedro and friends.

Red Day 1 - Splits

Rail trail to Copetown and back with Tarno. Beauty of a morning for a ride. Body seems to be OK with this lighter level of training. Will try pushing a little harder in West Point.

ARX training at IH.

Fun morning watching (and a little bit of volunteering) at the 40th Annual Hamilton Adventure Running Challenge! Approx 1075 participants. Not a participation record but awesome weather and a number of very good results. Now the challenge to recruit more of these kids to ARX.

C • awesome 1

Easy jogging during ARX. Hope to be able to ramp training up again soon but not likely until after Victoria Day.

Long two days "at the office". Site selection and equipment installment in the Dinner Lake area north of Parry Sound (aka orienteering heaven). Today was absolutely spectacular. It was a long day of trekking but navigating across open rock barrens using air photos to some small wetlands with the sun shining and throw in a visit to Waddtage it is no wonder I had a grin on my face all day. Back to admin crap tomorrow though. :-(

Quick change into running gear at the Waddtage at the end of the day and I quickly got in my Gula Stigen debut of the year. yikes. Crappy time though :-( Time includes warm-up and cool down. I'll blame it on the extra climb in the parking area and the scaffolding I had to hurdle. ;-)

Unfortunately no time to visit the Smith clan but got together with Tyson since I'm renting one of his places for my students to stay for the summer.
