Event: Salzburg Sprint Championships
 

Just a little warm up before the first sprint, and then a few paces afterwards to cool down properly. For the second run I wasn't so active, and didn't do any warm down :(

Pushed the first sprint hard, but not flat out. Was still completely in control. No mistakes really. Was able also to control the numbers very well - there were lots of disqualifications. Good race all in all. 10th best time.

Second sprint race, with chasing start. Pushed from the word go. Caught up to Lukas just before Control 2. Very controlled, but pushing very hard. Overtook him to control 7/8. Also saw that Markus was taking strain and was able to get past by control 12. 1 slight route choice error, otherwise quite good. Was 6th fastest and moved up to place 7 overall. (First H35) - really enjoyed that.

Sprint 1 - Splits

Sprint 2 - Splits

Bought new shoes today from Intersport. New pair of Trabuca's for the winter. I think I will try to get a decent pair of road runners early next year as well - provided I can afford it.

Nice easy run with wolfi, checking the knee. Seems to be much better. Ran the golf route with both extensions. Very nice - Autumn is here!

Checking out the knee - very slow easy jog with wolfi round the golf course. Knee still hurts quite a bit. Towards the end of the run (ie warmed up) it wasn't as painful. Tomorrow I'll try for a bit longer (maybe 40 minutes and see what happens)

So I'm still worring about my knee, that hurts just a little. Tomorrow I'll go for a bit of a job and see how it goes :)

Darn, Darn, Darn!

Yesterday was the Austrian Night Championships in O. I was on late duty with my wife (she gets to run first, and I wait with Hanna until she is back) and so I had to hussle to make my start time, which I only just managed.

Guess I was a bit unconcentrated, grabbed my map and headed out. The first control wasn't that easy, and as it was the first time in about 24 months that I have done O with a lap, I seemed to forget the most important rule - watch where you put your feet!

So, down I went and managed to smash my knee on a rock - bugger! As it was the first control I thought I would try and push on. By 6 it was getting really painful, by 9 I wans't running anymore and at 15 I had to throw in the towel. The first race I have retired from in quite a few years :(

Oh, well, a few days rest and I'll go jogging again to see how it's hold ing up!
