Training Log Archive: A.Child

Started the long race. I was running very well to the first control, hit it just behind Ross. Went to two just fine, but I could feel my knee starting to bother me. I looked ahead and saw that 4 and 5 were back towards the parkinglotish... so then I started heading to 4, forgetting about 3. I realized my mistake, then blindly tried to correct. Bad plan.. didn't work. Finally got 3, then walked/jogged back hitting 17 and 18 on the way. Stupid knee....

Event: WCOC New Haven Training Weekend
 

Decided not to do the compass exercise and opted for stretching instead. Not that it did much good because when I tried to run the sprint, I got half way to 2 then decided I should probably stop and not make my knee situation worse.

First time out this year, felt great! No knee problems at all either! Nailed most the of the controls plus or minus (just minus actually) three. One of them I was at, but was slightly off, and I spent too much time confirming that. Still, the course was great. A lot of fun!

Not quite as nice this time... During the jog to the start I could feel that my knee was agitatied. I stretched at the start then headed out, but after 10-15 minutes, i was having trouble, so I walked the rest of the course.
