| Kicksled race (World Championships) 32:00 [5] | |

| WC in Multia. Missed the 200m event. Anchored the relay (3x500m) where I got overtaken near the line for silver, so another bronze for KENSU. Then the 2000m where I had an incredibly bad start getting stuck behind some Dutch guys. Passed several guys to get 4th place--of which I have collected many in past years. Perhaps could have got a medal if I had been smarter at the start. This year, because of bad ice conditions, the marathon was also moved from Sunday to Saturday. The "marathon" also got shortened at the last minute to an 11k xc race since the ice had too much water in spots. Here it was impossible to pretend I am in better shape than I am, and I finished in 7th behind several guys who have never beat me in the old days when I actually trained and didn't goof around orienteering. There was a hairy downhill mid-course that provided some thrills. Now my legs are absolutely dead and I wonder if I can do the ski-o race tomorrow... |

| Nenäiniemi AV-practice. Mind still half on work. Went wrong way on first butterfly and it was downhill from there. Ended up skipping one control to make it back to work in time. In the coming opportunities to orienteer I really need to work on formulating a plan for every control. |

| Two trainings in Vaajakoski I missed earlier because of a cold. Heavy going in the snow in the forest but tried to stay in the forest so it felt like orienteering. |

| Straight from trainings to ski tracks in Vaajakoski. Turns out the Jyväskieppi ski race was being held in Huhtasuo. Several friends shot by with smiles on their faces, enjoying the competition and Spring weather. Shoot, I would have pinned on a number too had I noticed it was today. |
