Orienteering race 1:39:00 [3] *** 5.9 km (16:47 / km) +230m 14:03 / km
West Point Long Green Y. This was a fine day. Made a few tiny bobbles at a few controls; nothing major at all. I even tried some running in the beginning of the course, but paid for it later in the course. My knee got pretty swollen and getting down that last downhill was definitely painful.
I was very happy with my navigation this weekend, and even a little happy with my ability to move. Even though my knee was swollen after yesterday, some ice and Aleve did wonders, and I woke up this morning with no swelling and relatively pain-free. And the fact that I could do some running today made me happy. And when I say running, I really mean "not walking." So, more like faster shuffling. I iced my knee when I got back in and took some Aleve, and it feels pretty okay tonight. Just the first few steps after getting up from sitting are a little difficult. There just might be a brighter future ahead of me than I had previously thought.
