| Running 25:00 [2]2.0 mi (12:29 / mi) | |
| shoes: 2007 model Falcons | ||
| Woke up at about 3:30am. Found out that our team (Linne 3) was 45 minutes back after just two legs. Had breakfast. Spectated for a while, cheering for our first two teams. Saw Ulrik come back after an awesome run on long night. Then saw Albin come back after an awesome run on leg 4. When Oskar sent out Michele on leg 6, I started changing and warming up. Went for a reasonably long warm-up, as I was feeling very sluggish and sleep-deprived. Got excited as I checked the team's standings through radio controls and saw that Michele was running well. Came to the exchange area to see our Italian flying down the finish chute. Sweet. | ||

| Jukola, leg 7. Went out 116th, came back 117th.
The whole race I felt as if I was sleep-running. Orienteering was somehow happening, but I wasn't quite aware of it. Except that I fell a lot. Maybe a half dozen times. Felt very tired in the middle of the race, after making an idiotic 5-minute mistake on #6, a dot knoll in the green. Was worried I didn't have enough energy to finish. Slowly got better, though, and picked it up a bit on the last loop. Ended up with a total of about 10 minutes of errors, which is a lot, but could have easily been worse in this tough, technical terrain. I even managed to pass one team on the run-in, which is always cool. Still, on fresher legs and with a more consistent run I could have picked up some places rather than dropping 1. Ending up 117th for a club's 3rd team is pretty damn good, especially after being 440th after 1 leg. And it's kinda cool having 1000 teams finish behind us. Also, this was my 3rd Jukola. In my first one, in 2001, I was 594th on my leg. In my second one, in 2006, I was 282nd. This year, I was 140th. Looks like progress. Here is Mats' map from the 7th leg: http://www.matstroeng.se/maps/2007/show_map.php?ma... The terrain and course were great. Very challenging, different types of orienteering, and testing many different skills. I am very impressed with those who managed to get around their courses without mistakes.

| Orienteering 10:00 [1] | |
| Got to Turku at 7:30am after about three hours of sleep. Said bye to parents and brother Sasha, who are on their way to Russia now. Met up with Linne. Got to Lapua. Watched Venla. Went straight to sleep after our girls mispunched. Woke up. Went for a ten-minute walk around the model map. Ate. Watched the start of the men's relay. Back to sleep. | ||

| Running 57:30 [2]7.0 mi (8:12 / mi) +128m 4:50 / km | |
| shoes: Montrail Trail Shoes | ||
| Another lovely morning on Åland. I ran out of our cabin, ran down the road, and then ran up and back down the highest mountain on Åland - Orrdalsklint, which towers above the islands at its majestic 128 (or 129 - depending on the source) meters over sea level. It was a pretty faint trail going up, with lots of bare rock and moss where it nearly disappeared, but the woods were very pretty the entire way, and the view from the top was awesome. | ||

| Orienteering 54:57 [4]*** 7.2 km (7:38 / km) | |
| spiked:13/18c shoes: 2007 VJ Falcons | ||
| Tracked down a training session set by Ålands IF on a map called Svinö (Pig Island?) to the east of Mariehamn. Even for this tiny little training with just a dozen people or so, they still used EMIT, which is pretty cool. The terrain and map were nothing special, and I managed to get stuck in nettles a couple of times and get a few nasty bite marks from what must have been a spider going nuts on my arm. The one nice thing was getting in a bit of experience on Finnish-style maps before Jukola. | ||

| Tempo Cup #2 - a sprint race on the Castle map. Started out too slow and chaotic at the same time, losing time and also not running fast enough. Got better later on, but still not a very good result.
