Running the unforked 9th leg for OK Linne's 2nd team. Went out in 47th place, about 10 seconds after a pack of 4-5 guys. Ran hard and caught them and got a break when they screwed up the first control, allowing me to catch my breath a bit. Messing up #2 and running right by #3 were not parts of the plan, but I just managed to hang on to the back of the pack and get back into the race. Spent some time reading ahead on the trails and gradually worked my way to the front of the pack towards the end, passing all but one of the guys in it, as well as a guy from Kalevan Rasti's 2nd team, meaning that I exchanged to Lasso with us as the best 2nd team at Tiomila and 41st overall. I was 32nd on my leg, less than 5 minutes down on the best time. I was fairly pleased with my run and very, very pleased with the club's results at Tiomila: the girls came 4th, the guys' first team 5th, and we ended up as the best 2nd team, and 40th overall. This is a great time to be at Linne!

| Orienteering intervals on Nåsten that Patrick and I had hung on Monday. Was a bit sloppy at times and didn't feel particularly fast, but managed to push hard most of the time. Another beautiful day: +23C. After school, just went out and lay on the grass in the sun for a while, first time this spring! |

| Wednesday Night-O on North Lunsen. Great weather, great course, great terrain. Really enjoyable run on the long course. Started off with butterfly loops together with people running the short course, so a bit of head-to-head racing. Then headed off on the long legs and didn't see anyone for a long time, just running along, reading the map, enjoying the terrain at a cruisey pace. No big mistakes, though went off my bearing a couple of times in the green bits.

| "Formtoppning intervals" with Linne on the Norby lit track. Did (90 sec hard, 60 rest, 45 hard, 2 rest)*6. Struggling a bit in the beginning with the sort-of cold I have sort-of had the last week and a half, but felt better as the intervals went on.
MrPither was flying! |

| MrPither is in town! So, jet-lagged and all, he was dragged along by me to hang flags for this Thursday's training on Nåsten. Nice and wet in the forest, plus we found some of the bits that burned down a few weeks ago.
Training was followed by an OK Linne pre-Tiomila male bonding night, which consisted of bowling and pizza. Nothing too wild, but cool to have the boys all together outside of an orienteering context. Also cool that 8 of the 10 first-team runners showed up (the other two live away from Uppsala). I think that means a lot to the rest of us (or at least to me) that they don't think of themselves as too good to socialize with us. Don't know if it's like this in the other big clubs, but I like the way it is here. |
