| Skipped opportunity for night-o. Probably not much more time for these before next Autumn. Learned some new things in course setting school, especially about how to break the rules. I was surprised we were being given tips on, for example, how to fudge the course lengths in the program so the competitors are happy. Heard a lot of stories from the trainer from Savo: "Yks tosi tarina vielä..." x30. Look forward to putting knowledge into practice now in an upcoming kuntorasti I will plan.

Friday Apr 11 |
| Run (mostly road) 1:15:00 [1] | |
| |
| Evening. Felt sluggish all day, no surprise as I have not slept well four nights in a row. But these are exciting times. Ran with the phone just in case J called for me to rush her to the hospital. By the way, she orienteered yesterday (slowly) even though the baby is due tomorrow... |
Thursday Apr 10 |
| Orienteer (kuntorasti) 50:00 [4] | |
| |
| Great course, thanks Ossi. Often the best routes were not obvious and you paid for not checking every option. And predictably I paid. |
| Run warm up/down 17:00 [1] | |
| |
| before kuntorasti |
Wednesday Apr 9 |
| Run warm up/down 20:00 [1] | |
| |
| before o-training |
| Orienteer 1:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| AV-training. Lots of controls close together to practice constant direction changes. There was something else we were supposed to practice too but I didn't really understand the instructions and figured the first thing was enough for me. First real forest-o in Jyväskylä this Spring, still snow but the constant rain is steadily eating away at it. |
Tuesday Apr 8 |

Sunday Apr 6 |
| Run (mostly dirt roads) 2:30:00 [2] | |
| |
| Morning run was turned into a marathon thanks to unfriendly dogs cutting off my route home. Only option, besides risking being bit or hiking through the snow, was a long detour (about 30 minutes extra). |
| Note | |
| |
| Did my homework for course setting school next Saturday. But we are also expecting a kid that day so I hope my wife follows her usual tendency in everything else and starts a bit late. On the other hand, if I have to give a presentation in Finnish on the 16 year old girl's long distance course I drew tonight, it may be better to be in the hospital. |
