| Training race on top of a mountain - Sälfjället. I did most of a 7km course with Boris, stopping to check out features and in general taking it easy. This was really tough orienteering, but awesome to be out here! |

| Easy run around Stadsskogen. Legs felt much better today - still somewhat tired, but not like on Saturday, when I felt an overwhelming desire to stop and rest when jogging to the start. Towards the end, I did 4x30 second strides, with 1 minutes jogging in between. Felt fine. |

| Really easy running (with many breaks) while Boris and Peter did the DX Deluxe course. I spent the time looking at a course that Boris drew for me on the Oringen day 5 map. |
| Note | |
| |
| 1. In the afternoon, Boris, Peter, and I went geocaching using my Garmin. This led to a nice hike around Stadsskogen and the successful location of a box of random stuff. Neat. Perhaps I should try doing this on some of my future easy runs.
2. The distances for my upcoming orienteering races are available:
Oringen: sprint, long (10.8 km), middle (6.2 km), chase (7.9 km)
Swedish Ultralong Champs: 16.5 km
US Champs: Day 1 (7.7 km, 235m climb), Day 2 (11 km, 220m climb)
I am really excited!!! |
