| Middle distance model event. Drew a course and ran round it. It was flatter and greener than the other middle areas we have run on and will be pretty tricky if it is like that. Anyway went quite ok technically, couple of small hesitations but generally good. |

| Sprint Qual. 16th place so just missed the final. Sterted pretty bad with no rythm and stop start without doing a big missand then did a 30sec mistake on the 4th control. Got going a bit better after this but never ran really good in the forest parts which was most of the course. |

| Orienteering 19:00 [5]*** 4 km (4:45 / km) | |
| shoes: Helly Hansen trail |
| Ran a sprint course on the castle map that Mats Troeng set for Boris and I, it was great to run a course i hadnt seen, Al even put out some streamers for us. Some good route choices and a few tricky short ones. Went pretty well, no real misses, had 16.13 - a good last hard training.
Afterwards ran 5 x 30sec with a long jog recovery as a bit of a sharpener. Felt ok. |

| Orienteering 30:00 [3]*** 5.5 km (5:27 / km) | |
| shoes: Helly Hansen trail |
| A short course on the uppsalaåsen map as part of the long run. A lot of controls to train running in and out of controls and in some green shitty forest to train using the compass in this and toughen me up a bit with a few nettles before the weekend. Good technically even though it was pretty simple.
Finally got rid of the forest aids on my arm that i picked up at oringen. The old nappy rash zinc cream was what did the trick in the end. Also found a new flavour of the proviva drink, rasberry, it is great but still not as good as mango, watermelon is the worst flavour. |

| Running 30:00 [3]6 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: nike zoom elite 2006 |
| A recovery jog after the race yesterday. Jeez i felt awesome today even though i wasnt going that fast i usually feel the worst on these type of runs. Either a) i am about to get sick and it was a förkyllningslöp, b) it was a freak day and i will feel heavy again tomorrow or c) the hayfever crap is gone and the form is coming back right on time. Hope its C.
Also today i went to the dentist, he tried to pull a sneaky and pull out my wisdom teeth but there was no way i was letting him do that a week before woc so i told him to find a hole and fill it instead. He did and i didnt even feel that bad afterwards. The only bad thing that happened today was that Eko was closed so i couldnt go there for lunch. |
