 | Kayaking 2:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| Spending two days on the island of Utö far out in the Stockholm archipelago with Jenny. We rented a kayak and took it out to a tiny little island inhabited only by a family of swans. A beautiful day and an overall good time... |

| Orienteering 1:27:12 [3] 8.3 km (10:30 / km) | |
| |
| Running a course at Rydbo on a gigantic map. I really needed a day of solid orienteering to get my mind back into the belief that i am capable of orienteering. The last few races have been really disappointing, leading me to become increasingly discouraged with myself. Finally orienteered well today, paying very close attention to the basics of orienteering which i often just brush off. A solid run, though not particularly fast. Maybe things will start improving now. |

| |
| Aerobics (gympa) in the park with Kenny, Mattias and lots of girls. A very entertaining experience and a surprisingly tough work-out, working pretty much the whole body and doing a good job stretching too. |
Tuesday Jun 26 |
| Running 36:22 [2] 4.0 mi (9:05 / mi) | |
| |
| Easy running on our local map with Kenny after the rain. Got very soaked and ran into Mattias at the end. He suggested we go to this outdoor aerobics thing the next day with "lots of girls". |

| Relay at the Norwegian O-Fest. Another bad run - lost the pack after missing the 2nd control and made a couple of other mistakes trying to catch up. Got tired after that and slowed down, began to orienteer much cleaner... All in all, a very disappointing week-end in Norway. Must learn to orienteer again. |

Tuesday Jun 19 |

| A double-pole-only workout in the rain, taking the uphills quite hard. Still very rusty, but my form is coming back, i think. |

89 89 89 90 (5:57)
90 88 89 87 (5:55)
Besides taking the first lap way too fast, i was very happy with this time and felt ok the whole time. |

| Jukola - long night leg (#3) for team CSU. Didn't do too well, despite the relative lack of darkness - didn't use the headlamp at all. Made a big mistake early, losing about 7 minutes, but started running with a pack after that, paying close attention, and only losing 3 minutes the rest of the way. |

| Skiing (Rollerskiing) 55:00 [3] | |

| First attempt at rollerskiing in Stockholm, with Carl Fey's poles and boots. It worked out quite fine, though i definitely lost some muscle as well as form since the end of winter... |
| Running 1:00:30 [3] 8.07 mi (7:30 / mi) | |
| |
| Running around with Kenny - went to a trail race, volunteered a bit by standing and cheering, mostly. Then ran on the map some and back home through streets. |
| Orienteering 47:00 [2] 2 km (23:30 / km) | |
| |
| Walking and some running in the dark on our local map, testing out head lamps for the Jukola. Discovering that night-O is really, reall hard. Have to make an escape down a huge cliff, over a fence, around barbed wire and across train tracks after getting lost on the way home. |
