Monday, August 19, 2002
Just a quick report on my runs at Idaho. How did I do compared to my goals?
I managed to stay healthy. I didn't hurt my knee/leg. I turned an ankle after a few kilometers on the first day, but it didn't give me much trouble the rest of the course or on the second day. I taped my ankle the second day. I very rarely tape my ankles. But, I thought it was worth doing. I didn't have too much trouble running down hills. I took it quite easy -- which cost me time. I'll need to work on my hill running (up and down) this fall and winter.
I boomed less than 4 minutes each day. While I didn't boom much. I wasn't sharp. I didn't spike many controls either.
I didn't orienteer systematically the first day, but I did much better the second day. I felt rusty. I haven't done much O' recently and it showed.
I learned some things that will help the OK team for next year's relay champs. (I'll save that info for an email to the OK team....no need to help the competition!).
