| A solid run around the small paths in nasten after i got home from lithuania. I felt good and it was nice to run on the bare rock hills between the marshes again after the nettles in druskininkai.
Over 12 hours of traveling today as well including the worst coffee i have ever had at the kaunas bus station, after that reubs and i spotted the renault cafe and had a pizza, coke and esspresso for $6 before buying the 50cent bus ticket to the airport. |

| Rest day, was going to run in the arvo but my back was killing me after walking round looking at huge statues of lenin and stalin all morning at grutas park, caught a bit of the tour and world cup in the evening. |
Friday Jun 30 |
| Orienteering 50:00 [3]**** 6 km (8:20 / km) | |
| shoes: VJ Integrator 2 |
| Putting out controls, shadowing Jas and running the course on the thick nettle infested jwoc middle terrain. Was prepared with tape on the o-pants today so ran through the nettles with total confidence - unfortunately ran into a fallen tree at the last control and cut my knee anyway, nothin serious though. I was a bit rough technically, this is hard terrain the visibility is so low.
Said goodbye to fat roma today and movied into the plush 4* spa vilnius hotel - we never had it this good in our day... and its only a 2 min walk to the cafe with $1 espressos and $2 cheesecake. |

| Sprint training in downtown druskininkai, felt strong but not a lot of speed, stuffed up two of the last 3 controls when i saw gareth and lost a min. Gareth claims he beat me in the sprint to the line but i'd like to see the photo ;) - a good course that reubs set. |

| Putting out a few controls for the sprint training in the local ghetto - had to change the course a bit after getting yelled at running through a new o.o.b area. Running back to fat roma's place with gareth afterwards. |

Monday Jun 26 |
| Orienteering race 1:00:00 [4]**** 9 km (6:40 / km) | |
| shoes: VJ Integrator 2 |
| A race on the area next to the jwoc middle map that turns out to be a stinging nettle farm. Bloody painful with a few legs of solid waist high nettles. A hopeless course through the greenest crappiest parts of the map, ran pretty badly as well with some mistakes at the end and ran to the wrong control twice early on in the course. Ended up 3rd but 5min behind Simonas Krepsta who also ran badly. |
| Running 35:00 [2]6 km (5:50 / km) | |
| shoes: VJ Integrator 2 |
| warming up and down for the race, a slightly extended warm up after the start was put back by 20min at the last moment.
Will have an easy week now. |
