Event: NavDash 4 - Minim Cove
 

I was the only one from team Outa control today as stevej was camping and matsiv was doing drop sets.
I was a little concerned that my knee would play up with the elevation changes today but it turned out to be fine with no need to walk the hills.
I overshot 4 slightly searching in the next gully, and went the long way from 16 to 17. Other than that I was happy with my run and navigation.
I am looking forward to future events and to a time when I don't lose too much time on the longer sections. Another well run event, well done MTBjen, Tooms, Boltboi and others involved.

I'll even claim to have spiked some controls today...

Men's - Splits

I really wanted to squeeze in a paddle before picking up the girls from school today. My last patient was running late so after 10mins I decided to leave, only to see her walking towards the building. I hid between the stairs and lift waiting to see which she would take and when I heard the ding from the lift I ran down the stairs out into the train station never looking back. She needed to be taught a lesson as she is always running late.

45min interval session at Mindarie marina trying to focus on some technique. I am a bit concerned about my cadence when paddling as it is only about 60% of stevej and matsiv, not sure if it is the different paddle or poor technique. It might be time for another CDU fitness session and try to get some critical analyses.

C • Nav Training 2

C • Long and strong 6

No swelling in Left knee after last run, however some pain on the medial femoral condyle. I much prefer the swelling/no pain to the pain/no swelling.
Will see how it feels after the Nav Dash tomorrow.
Someone has to represent the Outa control team, even if I am weary, ancient and decrepit now and my time grows short.

Interval session from Sandy beach down past Tonkin Hwy and back.
Trying to work a bit on technique and lot's of turning practice.

Found a small hill to run up and down in the middle of my run today.
Looking at the comments about Minim cove it looks like it will be a good test for my knee. I may be walking by the end but I hope to have a few quick splits on the flatter sections... There are flatter sections aren't there??

C • More Stretching Hey Mate...... 3

Nice easy session on the cross trainer. The knee feels OK today after some swelling last night so nothing strenuous today.
