AM/PM COC Long at Sulpher Springs at 1:10000. My legs were definately more tired than they should have been from the previous two days of hard races. If I was in proper shape this would have not been the case but after three weeks off of running this was to be expected. The course was very physically demading and I didn't have the speed and endurance to perform my best. Despite my phsicall condition my navigation was not perfect either with a few bad routes unintentionally from the added fatigue of not being in shape and somehow I managed to skip #21 and headed straight from 20 to 22 and had to go back which definitely cost me valuable time. Despite the cirrumstance I ended up in 4th place which I think was the most impressive result for me considering everthing. My kind of weather for the long, a bit of rain and cooler temps around the mid teens. Actually ran 14.09 km.

AM COC Middle at Sulpher Springs at 1:10000. My legs were definately sore and a bit tired from the sprint yesterday. I knew the middle would be very technically challenging so my plan was to take it easy at the start since I guessed the start would be very technically. I managed to get thought the very technical part of the course in great shape but made about 1:10 at #9, 30 sec on #11 and somehow missed #17 lossing another 1:15. It turned out to be good enough for a bronze medal but I am convinced if that if I nailed #17 I would have taken the gold....dam. Another nice day in the upper teens.

shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 190

PM COC Sprint at McMaster University at 1:4000. Really good race for me with two 5 sec mistakes on #3 and #15 and maybe one not so great route and of course loosing valuble time due to my lack of running speed. I spent 30 plus hours planning courses, analysing route choices and updating the map I had from 2006. I was very well prepared for the sprint mentally but could not do anything about my fitness situation. It was a nice night for a race in the mid teens. Ended up in 2nd place 39 seconds behind Will and 5 seconds ahead of Sergei. It was nice that my knee held up with no pain, it just felt a little more tired than normal.

PM Training at Bow Valley with Michael but only ran some of the course together. Jogged the 2009 Barbones course 5.Cool night 8C and a bit of light rain at the start, felt colder in the open areas with the cold strong W wind. Really great training before COC's with tons of contour detail. Knee felt fine, the tape jod I got done earlier by the Dinos AT might have helped. No mistakes and feeling great about COC's. Hopefully the knee holds up and I can have some great races.

Note

My knee is feeling better than it ever has, looking good for COC's. It feels fine even after the training tonight but its hard to tell because I was just jogging. I have another physio appointment tomorrow morning which should make it feel even better and ready for COC'S!!
