 | Orienteering 55:00 [2]**** | |

| Mission Impossible training by Leiv Terje in the very back woods of Soegne. Wet and cold but otherwise very enjoyable. Map from WOC97 test race and green plantations had grown up into a very nice little forest. Don't judge a book by its cover... |

| Orienteering 45:00 [2] | |
| |
| More or less easy run back at Kvaase, picking up flags from last night and re-running a middle distance course from last summer that I ran with HHJ, Sandy and Heather prior to WOC. Much easier with daylight and little vegetation. JD got his revenge on the terrain today. |
| Orienteering 1:05:00 [3] | |

| How much night-O can one reasonably handle in this terrain in one week? I've hit my limit after tonight's one-man relay. Basically ran 5 different loops of less than 1km every 10 min. |

| Orienteering race 1:40:00 [4] | |
| |
| The night orienteering saga continues. KOK's night selection race for Tio. Solidly the last finisher but running much better after two practice sessions at night. Again avoided injury so I am happy.

| Ride to / from Sykehuset for training. |
| Orienteering 1:35:00 [2]*** | |
| |
| Did a course at 1:10k on Bymarka then a short forest sprint at 1:5k, finished at Sykehuset. Legs getting tired by the end... Still an 'easier' option than doing Spicheren-Baaten with Holger this morning. |

| Another night-O debacle. I'm sure there is a place on this earth where night-O is enjoyable but it sure ain't Kjevik. Eventually limped home after the 10th control. Luckily the others had also bailed which made me feel a bit better. Succeeded in my prime directive of not getting injured so I have to be happy. |

| Orienteering (Night-O) 1:10:00 [3] | |
| |
| First Night-O of the season and it showed... Lots of stops to look at map, lots of blinding myself with reflection from map, lots of lost contact with map. Succeeded in primary goal which was to not get injured. Kringsjaa Ost: terrain-wise probably as good as it gets here in southern Norway. |

| Beautiful ride west of town through Soegne and back along the old E39. Awesome views and evening sunshine. Rode Holger's old bike which thankfully had the slicks on as we were pounding pavement with a couple of roadies on their S-works road bikes. The watch says 441m climb but it felt like more. Nice to finally get a tailwind following the river Otra back to town. Overall a bit much for a recovery day for me... |
