Easy run with Kat at China Camp SP.

went to Rancho San Antonio again after organizing a 24-hour-long bachelor party for LittleMonkey. Not sure how I'd feel given all the substances in my body (mostly thirteen types of meat, cookies, and scotch), but felt ok when jogging with Kat. Then decided to run Wyatt's loop hard to see if I can come close to his PR. Felt like I started too hard on the first uphill, but the split seemed ok compared to what I remembered of Wyatt's split. Ran ok on the flat sections and then pushed hard again on the second uphill to the water tank. Then really didn't like the downhill section on pavement (why include that in the loop??), but finished ok on the last flat part. ended up with a time of 23:48, a bit ahead of Wyatt's PR. Now he can have a new goal the next time he is out here. :)

Rancho san Antonio with Kat. Ran around wyatt's loop, got lost a couple or times. Nice loop.

One more run in Prague before the flight.

A hangover run with the newlyweds and Vašek. I requested that we run into Poland, so we did that and did a small 3km loop there. Not much for my first visit to Poland, but still cool. Then ran along part of the course of the Jizerca ski marathon. Good company and a nice run, though we were all pretty tired.

A pre-wedding run with Martin and Vašek from Jizerca. Some roads, some trails, and a bit of scrambling up some very cool rocks. Lots of pretty views, and it was even sunny at times.

Morning run around the old royal hunting grounds in Pargue with Bara and Martin. Nice park to have just outside the door!

C • Prague 2

Non-stop rain all morning, so I hoped to go to spinning at the local F&S. I wasn't the only one who had that idea, though, and so they were full. Decided to run instead and did a hill interval session at the castle, pouring the entire time. I ran the "usual" castle loop, finishing at the end of the flat part on top, right before the steps. I hoped to run negative splits, but didn't quite make it:

2:20
2:19
2:17
2:15
2:16
2:14

Event: North Atlantic Orienteering
 

Running from Ångström to and from Ekeby

Uppsala Dubbelsprint - sprint 2 at Ekeby

Nice course on the area that is rumored as a possibility for SM-sprint qualifier in 2014. Speed was ok, but I made a couple of mistakes that cost me on the kind of course where picking the right micro-routes is very important. Probably about 7 seconds coming out of 5, when I changed my mind about the route choice and turned back. Then didn't see a passage between 6 and 7 and took a worse route as a result - another 5 seconds minimum. And the biggest was a poor route plus hesitation in the end (when I started reading the next leg) on 14, which cost another 10 seconds. Ended up 5 seconds behind Simon and 2 ahead of Oskar, but a full 2:10 behind Jan's winning time.

1071/2000

By the way, my counting of controls began on August 20 last year. So the goal is to keep orienteering and collecting controls and then, on the last day, set a course with the number of controls I need for 2000 and run it. Let's see how that works out...
