Advanced sprint at Dix Park with Presto! Wow! Actual orienteering with controls and everything! It's been a while... My ankle felt great the entire run, which was fantastic. I could tell I haven't run this much in a while, but it was great to be out looking for controls :-). Presto was definitely dragging a bit, so I got some extra strength training as well. I had one suboptimal route choice on the first control, which involved crawling under some pipelines, but otherwise had a pretty clean run. So good to be out on a map!!

Short sprint at Dix Park! After a few minutes rest, I decided that my ankle was feeling good enough to head back out on the short sprint. I gave Presto to Sam this time because I didn't think I needed more sea anchor training. My ankle felt good the entire run, and it was once again so, so good to be out running on a map. I definitely have some work ahead of me getting back in running shape, but I'm starting to feel more positive about enjoying the spring and summer in Ithaca!
