| Saw 2am again last night but felt this was necessary this time as it was our best and only chance to see the midnight sun this trip. Up early to go to the airport. Got to Oslo okay but then our Wideroe flight to Gothenburg was delayed, delayed again and again then finally cancelled at 8pm. They decided to put us on a bus. This left at 9:30pm and arrived at the bus station at 1:30am (8.5 hrs later than scheduled). After a gouging taxi ride, we arrived at 2am. I haven't had this many strings of 2am mornings in a long time. My only training was mental. |

| Saw 2am again, feeling the first symptoms of sore throat and so decided against training today. |

| Orienteering 1:05:00 [3] | |

| Took a city bus out to the map: Storelva and ran the trim course there. Pretty similar to Bykle. Fun terrain, especially in the flatter, open areas with fine contour detail. Pretty tough running on the side hills and in the green, rocky areas. The marshes were better running and good for navigating. |

| Connected the dots on the Trim course. Very cool terrain. White was very runnable and the forest was soft. Visibility was just enough to see the contour features for good navigation. Low cloud ceiling but still got some views from the high points. |

| Slight lifestyle indiscretions last night and a busy course schedule suggested the need for a rest day. Travelling to Tromsoe overnight tonight by boat. |
Monday Jun 23 |
| Trail running 1:15:00 [2]+600m | |
| |
| Ran/scrambled up to Djevelporten and Floya, just northeast of town. Unfortunately the bluebird skies from the morning were gone and the pictures were only so-so. The dramatic green-coloured hillsides became a bit muted which was a shame.
Anita went for a bike ride to rest her foot. |
