Before, during and after intervals- calves, quads and hams. Intervals went well and mountain hiking appears to have helped healing/strengthening process from run of intensity induced injuries. Also the daily Kniepp therapy in Switzerland was a boon.

Was going to go to the track however breezey conditions and first "speed" effort in a while made me wary of re-injury! So discipline of treadmill with 8x400m at 6m/m pace with 1.30 jog between and 3 mins between sets of 4. Stretched between the two sets to be sure of loose calves. Felt good and could have done more.

Pawtuckaway red - nominal 6.5k. First O race since July 18th. Nice day as it turned out - although legs a bit sluggish (residual jet lag maybe). Took a while getting back into the PW experience. A couple of good legs and a couple of bad ones. General theme was heading to right on bearings- able to relocate reasonably well though. Caught sight of IanF a few times between 3 and 8. Biggest miss was in 8.
Lost 9 mins total
Missed 1 to the right 2mins
2 hesitated /confused 1min -exit wrong
3 ok
4 - 1 min ended up to left
5 30 sec due to stopping short
6 slow in but ok 15
7 ok
8. Found line of cliffs 80m short of control- explored then ran to right area but discounted large "boulder"- which was in fact control cliff - 4mins
Rest, except for 12 (1min) were OK with minor hesitations only. Used catching/collecting features well through complex terrain. Good wake up.
5 PM
Note
Nice weather today got me thinking about vacation just gone.
