Not much sleep because we were following 10mila, so I skipped my run today. Probably better that way.

10mila Partille, 2nd leg. Controlled run but far too defensive. Respected the terrain too much and should have run more offensively. Good start and got my first control spot on but I was unfortunately all alone there and didn't get any help of others (those few I saw were either running slower or had a different forking). On the way to number 2 I saw some girls from distance and tried to catch them but got drifted a bit too far while following them and missed my control by a half a minute or so. After that I got stuck in a train of some slower runners and happily settled to their pace for the following two legs. Then I pushed a bit harder in a climb and was soon by myself again for a couple of legs but took it quite easy and cautiously to avoid mistakes. It went alright but at the end of the course I met some faster girls and realised I hadn't been pushing hard enough. Had no problems whatsoever following them but once again I had a different forking and lost sight to them. I lost half a minute or so on the second last but all in all no big mistakes, just too defensive run. Terrain felt physically easy and I wasn't even tired after my run :O

Easy run in rain with 6x30" strides

Control pick Rävalen #10. In other words last practise on my control work before 10mila. In addition to normal control work I practised folding in and unfolding my map 27 times to check the definition and code before each control. Quite a bit of folding ;)

Last technical prep for 10mila in Kårsta #9. Cold and wet.

6x3'/2' trail intervals in snow with Linné. Chilly and slippery but good fun! :)

Easy recovery run on small paths
