With temperature at around +3C and the snow melting, went to Stadsskogen to ski with Christoph and give him some more technique tips. The snow was awful in the woods, but not too bad on the golf course, where I ended up double poling a whole lot, which makes for some very tired triceps.

Biking to and from KG, very carefully, trying hard (and successfully this time) to not fall in the slush.

Jogging from KG to the start of the night-O with Rob, Jan Troeng, Joffe, Lina B., and Lasso and then back to KG after the finish as a cool-down before a nice hot sauna.

Wednesday Night-O - my first race of 2006 and my first long course at one of these night-O's. This was the simplest terrain of all the night-O's so far (lots of trails between small hills with contour detail - but a lot of trail running), and so a good one for me to try the long course. As always at night, it took me a while to get into the map, and i made a 40-second mistake on the second control, running by it and having to go back. Things got better after that, until a long leg, where all I had to do was keep track of the right trails to stay on, but I didn't see one intersection on the map, as it was covered by a north line, and ran off the wrong way, eventually relocating after losting 1:30 or so. One more 30-second mistake later on, but a good, fast race otherwise, running the last few controls with Rob and Michael Nordstrom. Running in the deep snow/slush was tough, and I felt very tired towards the end, but pleased to be able to hang with the fast guys. The result was far from spectacular: 7th place out of 11, but my time was quite competitive (the winner ran 50:30), and so I'll consider this a success.

C • That seems like a great result... 8
