Running 12:00 [1] 1.2 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Green VJ Integrators

Warm-up running before the relay while waiting for Åsa, with many breaks.

Orienteering 1:29:21 intensity: (40:21 @2) + (29:00 @3) + (20:00 @4) ***** 8.94 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: Green VJ Integrators

EVENT: Swedish Relay Champs
TEAM: OK Linne 2: Åsa, Kat, Elin
COURSE: 7.37 km, 18 controls
MAP: Ogan, 1:10,000, 5m contours
TERRAIN: Really technical again, with lots of hills and cliffs to the north, and some more open and extremely runnable (but vague) contours to the south. Beautiful and hard.
MY RUN: If there was any doubt about me not being able to orienteer in this terrain, it was put to rest today. I started off fine, but made a type of parallel error on the long leg where, just like on Friday, I was searching for a control on a really detailed hill that wasn't the right hill. An 11-minute mistake...I did better after this, but still lost time on several other controls in the control circles. The map and course were amazing, but I was getting tired of the constant demand for high-intensity concentration. I have never longed for a section of trail running more!
RESULTS: Our team was 47/53 in D21.

Note

The expected winning time for the women's relay first leg was 6 minutes too optimistic. This terrain is just that hard. But amazing. I will definitely have to come back and train here sometime!
