 | Orienteering race 1:04:00 [4]**** 10 km (6:24 / km) | |
| shoes: VJ Panther |
| Dalarna DM relay I ran 1st for the 2nd team. I certainly wasnt looking forward to this, even less so when i felt sick in the morning and had diarrohea. Right from the start i felt pretty ordinary and got dropped but i didnt really care. I orienteered fairly well and didnt do many mistakes except for a few 15sec ones around the controls - they were really hidden today which a lot of people inc me not surprisingly were pissed off with. Anyway i was 8min down on the leader and 5min on the pack. Thank god i decided to run the half marathon next weekend and not the long DM - think i need a few weeks off orienteering races. |

| Dalarna DM middle distance. What a farken debacle, got the first two ok and then the 3rd was a joke, i reckon it was in the wrong spot but it was prectically impossible to tell which 3 of the 50 boulders on the ground the mapper had decided to map. Anyway the course setter picked the one in the thickest green to put the control on. About 80% of people missed this control according to winsplits and some people lost 5min on a 1min leg. I spat the dummy after this control and just cruised around seething, to top it off one of the controls didnt register when i am certain i punched it so i dnf'd... Farken Dalarna! |

| Warming up for the race and an evening jog with Hansa and Elis, i was too pissed off to bother warming down when i finished. I didnt feel too good on the evening jog either even though i was pretty nice running along the dala-alven on the boardwalk in Avesta. |

| Monna Fartlek, 2x90, 4x60, 4x30, 4x15 with equal recovery. I ran these on the road to try and get the legs used to it a bit before the half marathon in a week or so. Actually they were still pretty sore after yesterdays race and i wasnt going too well today in either my legs or my stomach. I thought hot chips and a coffee would have been a perfect pre training snack but it turns out it wasnt... prob should have put sauce on the chips. |

| Riding out to the forest again to get the last of the controls, gave the poor muddy bike a wash at the servo on the way home. |
| Orienteering 20:00 [2]**** 3 km (6:40 / km) | |

| A short morning jog to pick up the last 4 controls, i am getting sick of running through that bit of forest and of running in the rain. |
| Running race 26:00 [5]8 km (3:15 / km) vdot: 65.4 | |

| Lotsjon Runt, 26.21, 8km road race on a combination of roads and forest paths, a pretty tough course with a lot of up and down on small hills and not the best running surface on the forest roads. I was 3rd behind Mats and Jan Troeng, they got a 20m lead just after the king of the mountain prize at 3km and stretched it out to 30sec by the finish. I battled it out for 3rd with Ulf Troeng but got away with a few km to go. This was a classic swedish small town fun run, no entry fee and i won a football as a prize, the kom prize was coffee, classic stuff! |

| Putting out and picking up controls for the OK Linne club champs. Got home a bit late after a quick search for a D16 that had a few problems. All the controls were in the right place... phew. |

| Riding out to a few points in the forest to put out and pick up controls, wasnt much fun with the sarva's on and the tracks muddy and slippery as buggery. |

| shoes: VJ Sarva 2006 |
| Test running the course for www.dxdeluxe.se. A 1.5km sprint race on a 1:1500 map. This was awesome fun and pretty good technical training too. I had 12min on the first attempt and 10min exactly on the second attempt even though i didnt run so hard. If anyone beats 10min i will be bloody impressed. |
