Training Log: SarahD

O training at. Bergsjön. Another lovely area. Felt more confident in this and was managing to plan / think ahead as well as running a bit more. Still v hot though.

Afternoon in the sea at Gullvik.
Campsite quieter but lots of Oers arriving for training. At least they seem to have finished constructing the car park 30m from our camp spot.

Jog up to start of O training

O training at Åsberget. Took it slowly to try and figure out as much as possible. Some tricky bits on the rocky slope especially. Hill tops looking completely parched and burnt. 30+ again - too hot to work too hard. Loved it though - orienteering is ace:-)
Got back to find a parking ticket - in a bus stop (thought I’d parked enough away from it) and facing the wrong direction... wtf....welcome to ORingen. The thing is our reg number on the ticket is missing the last letter and I can’t “understand” Swedish. To pay or not to pay....

In the Baltic at Gullvik

Ottfjället above Vålådalen with J and E. Nice walk. Set off early so reasonably cool with a good breeze, but visibility rather hazy. Saw mountain grouse with chick and a couple of solitary reindeer. Lovely scrubby moorland on the lower slopes. Getting hot again by the time we got back to the van.

Pre brekker again with J, from campsite at Lit along the path towards Hagfors. Temp just about ok at 07:30. Feeling rubbish and route was pretty uninspiring. Done.

Straight from run into the river.

Up the river Hãrkon from Lit to Hagerfors then back down again. Easy enough to start but had to pull the kayaks through some shallow rapids further on. Roasting hot again.

Pre breakfast. Across the river from camping spot (somewhere beyond Sveg - by a great wee rock gorge section of the river) and forest tracks on the other side. With J and E initially then continued a bit further to get it up to the hour. Ok once I got going but needing brekker by the end. Swedish porridge - with cloudberry and blaeberries, yum :-)

Quick dip in the river after run.

In the Hårkon river at Lit. Nice. Way too hot otherwise.

Fail on the 2nd run (still too hot) but did at least manage to stretch for the first time this hols.

Chillaxo day. Moose, cloudberry, bad platz and cool camp spot- fab.
