| After spending a nice evening in Stockholm hanging out with Andrew and GG, I headed to Nacka in the morning with Andrew to run a winter series race there. The pulled butt muscle felt sore, but not as bad as last Thursday, so I tried to run reasonably hard, though probably not quite race-pace. Managed to lose about 5:30 in mistakes, too, but the sloppiness wasn't surprising, since this was the first time I'd orienteered with any sort of speed in a while. Andrew ran 49 minutes.
I really enjoyed orienteering today and can't wait for the season to start, even if my shape is far from where I'd like it to be. |

| Was going to go to the gym in the evening and do some strength training, but I am tired, and it's the end of my easy week, so I'll stay at home and relax instead. Kat is coming to Uppsala tomorrow!! |

| Out on Lunsen again, building control stands. Running around the forest, sawing, chopping, carrying logs and stones. Quite fun, actually. Helped that it was sunny and not too cold. Was out in the forest for four hours or so. |

| Wednesday Night-O on Southeast Lunsen.
This being my easy week, I decided to move down to the middle course, hoping to regain some confidence in my night-O after last week's debacle. In fact, quite the opposite happened. I started pretty well and avoided major mistakes for the first part of the course, though I was forced to move pretty slowly, both by the tough terrain (a lot of cut-down branches on the ground, lots of marshes) and the tough navigation. I think I have even been leading after 11 controls, but then disaster struck. I disappeared into some sort of black hole going to 12, and relocated after probably 7-8 minutes of wandering. Ended up losing around 10 minutes on the leg. Then spiked the next few, passing people who had been behind me, before just missing #16 and then totally losing it. Could not relocate to save my life, and finally lucked into it after another 6-7 minutes passed. The only way to think of this as progress is that, unlike last week, I finished. Ugh.
