Running 10:00 [2] 1.67 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: 2009 VJ Falcons
To the starts
Orienteering 43:01 [3] *** 5.5 km (7:49 / km)
spiked:15/18c shoes: 2009 VJ Falcons
2xmiddle distance on Lunsen, the little-used, but still wonderful, northeast corner. It was such a pleasure to run on Lunsen again, even if I am in the worst shape I've been in the last five years. Still, got into the orienteering pretty well and enjoyed it.

Today's return to Uppsala could not have gone better: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs393....
Running 20:05 [2] 4.02 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: 2010 Asics
Easy run around some trails in Stadsskogen to see if the foot hurt. It seemed ok. Stadsskogen was beautiful in the sunshine after the afternoon rain.

Basketball 30:00 [1]
Great. We found a basketball court in the conference center that was open after dinner and, of course, had to play. It was decided to play barefoot and I started getting blisters right away. Of course, I ignored them until eventually one opened up, tearing a massive chunk of skin off the bottom of my foot. Ugh. Oh yeah, and we lost the game anyway. The small Italian girl who innocently picked up the ball in the beginning turned out to have played for the Italian under-21 team...
Four days in Finland so far. About 11 hours of sauna, 1 stupid injury, and 1 fight. Good times.

Running 40:00 [2] 8.0 km (5:00 / km)

A cruise around the trails near Linnasmäki. Nice to have so many trails everywhere and such nice forest so close to the city.

Running 27:00 [1] 3.38 km (8:00 / km)
shoes: 2010 Asics
Super-easy recovery run in the woods around Linnasmäki conference center with some people from the summer course I am taking here. The schedule is really intense this week, so I really doubt I'll be able to get my hands on any actual maps, except maybe on Sunday before my flight back to Uppsala.

Running 10:00 [2] 1.67 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: 2009 VJ Falcons
Warm up
Orienteering race 33:23 [4] **** 4.2 km (7:57 / km)
spiked:12/16c shoes: 2009 VJ Falcons
Attundarundan middle distance
Ulrik convinced me yesterday that I could manage to show up at this race, run an open course, and make it on time to my flight to Turku, so I did just that. A lot more tired today, which led, for some reason, to very rushed orienteering. I did not give myself enough time to think, which led to a few stupid decisions and some unnecessary mistakes (probably about 4:30 worth). Still, it was fun to orienteer, and there were parts of the course I was very happy with.
Also, nice to see ANdrew run well in the elite class, very cool.
Ali's idea of counting controls (and aiming for 2000 in a year) is a good one, so I'll copy that. 18 yesterday + 16 today = 34/2000 so far.

OK Rodhen middle distance race - Gåningsmyran
Right, time to start logging again. Decided to "speed up" recovery from the cold I picked up in Copenhagen by doing a race. It was so nice running in Uppland's forests again! The whole time I was running and thinking how much I'd missed this. The race itself went pretty well, considering that I hadn't trained all summer and was sick all week. I made 2 20-second mistakes, one of about a minute, and was stuck in the green on a bad route choice for the long leg. Ended up 15/30, which isn't bad, though over 9 minutes back of the winner, Joffe.

Note
Back in New Haven for a few days now. Haven't really trained since NAOC - maybe 6 runs total in July. Won't be able to train in Copenhagen next week, but hope to start slowly after that and put in a good month in Uppsala. If things go well, then a medal at the US Classic Champs will be the next goal.
