Note
Really happy to see CSU winning the US Relay Champs once again! Great job everyone!
Also, had a great time at Smålandskavlen. I was a reserve in Linné's 2nd team and ended up running after some people got injured. Taped my ankle really heavily and was lucky that the terrain was soft, open, and not at all stony. Had one of my best runs of the year, bringing our team from 31st to 25th place on the short 3rd leg. The trip down to Vimmerby and back was really fun, thanks to our great clubmates!

Running 30:00 [2] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra Fall 2011
Long warm-up and cool-down.
8 AM
Orienteering race 43:12 [5] 8.16 km (5:18 / km) +150m 4:51 / km
shoes: VJ Supra Fall 2011
Smålandskavlen 2011
Linné 2: Josef Nordlund - David Lingfors - Boris - Ross - Olle Eriksson
We were 31st after the two night legs, and I got to go out at the tail end of a somewhat spread out pack, with about seven teams within a minute in front of me. I taped my ankle heavily and felt ok on it during the warm-up.
When I turned over the map, it was immediately obvious that this would be a fast and furious course with lots of open woods and some trail running. I went out 4 seconds behind Tampereen Pyrintö (TP) and 6 seconds ahead of Denseln.
S-2: We were all together at 1 and then split up at 2, where I had the shorter forking and got ahead.
2-3: On the way to 3 I passed Lynx and caught Skoksfalken, and ran with Skogsfalken for the next few. No problems orienteering on the tricky slope controls - I felt like I was in control of my orienteering while running at the limit of what I could handle speed-wise.
4-6:Climbing up into 5 we saw three more guys in front of us and ran hard on the longer leg across to 6, which I had already seen when going to 3. Punched 6 just behind the other three guys.
7-9: The leg to 7 was simple downhill running through some open woods and then on a trail, so I ran as hard as I could to catch the guys from Kangasala and Linköping in front of me. We dropped Skogsfalken here somewhere. I went straight on the flat, wide-open forest leg to 9 and came into it together with Kangasala.
10-11: A bit of tricky orienteering here, so I slowed down a bit, and Kangasala got a gap on me.
12-13: This was the worst part of the course for me. I saw Kangasala staying high leaving 11, and thought that I could do better by running straighter on the line. This didn't work, as the forest was a bit junkier going straight, and I lost sight of Kangasala, dropping about 20 seconds on the leg. Linköping came with me, and we saw Järla leaving 12 as we came in. I was tired here and took a stupid angle going around the hill between 12 and 13 and ended up at the power line, way off my line. After fighting through the powerline and busting out to 72 (losing 40 seconds here), I was suddenly in a pack led by Hällen's Per Öberg, who started almost a minute after me. He had with him my start-buddies TP and Denseln, as well as Pan Århus, and Järla, Skogsfalken and Linköping, whom we dropped quickly.
14-16: Streamered route through 14, then the climb up to 15. Hällen and Denseln got a small gap here, but missed the control, and so we were al together again, flying down the hill to 16. This control turned out to be forked, and I hit my control right on together with Pan Århus, while the others had a different fork.
17-F: I immediately decided to run right around the lake, and Pan Århus went with me. Kangasala appeared out of nowhere and joined us. The other two were running faster than me on the trail, but I took a better angle cutting across to the road and got ahead of them for a bit. We punched 17 together and split up going to the last control. Pan Århus was stronger and got ahead of me there. I held off Kangasala, and exchanged 25th, after picking up 6 places.
I was 32nd on the leg, 6 minutes down on Martins Sirmais, and 4 minutes behind Oskar from our 1st team. Also, first time I'd run under 6 min/km for a course (42:35 for 7.3km) in a long time!

Ross and Olle followed with solid runs on their longer, tougher legs, and we finished a very respectable 42nd, better than last year's Linné 2 team, which was 46th with a stronger line-up. The boys' first team was 3rd after some great runs during the day, and the ladies finished 10th after an awesome run by Sam!

Running 25:00 [2] 3.13 km (8:00 / km)
shoes: Red Asics 2011
Spent some time Friday trying to get someone to take my leg at the weekend's Smålandskavle, but it was too late, and no one wanted it. Decided I would try running assuming I could get through an easy run without too much pain. Went for a morning jog with Ross on roads and trails to test out the ankle. Felt ok, and it was really nice to be out on this beautiful sunny morning.

Note
The Billygoat Wikipedia article is in danger of getting deleted due to lack of notability. I suppose it's a fair point, but if someone is willing to make the effort to save it by finding some third-party sources that show its notability, that would be great.

(injured)
Sprained my goddamn ankle again during intervals.
Running 50:00 10.0 km (5:00 / km)
shoes: Red Asics 2011
Intervals with the club on the Norby lit track. I mentioned to Ross during the warm-up that the lighting was sufficiently dim that you could easily turn an ankle if you didn't look where you were going. Naturally, I turned an ankle when I didn't look where I was going on a downhill on the 8th 2-minute interval. Went over quite hard on two consecutive strides since I couldn't stop myself on the downhill. Same ankle as I did in the Stafett-DM a month ago. Hobbled back to KG with a girl from Ravinen who did exactly the same thing at the exact same spot about a minute after me. Then walked home and sulked for the rest of the evening, really frustrated at yet another setback.

Running 54:46 [2] 11.3 km (4:51 / km)
shoes: Red Asics 2011
A cruise around the neighborhood with Ross in the evening before going to the Uppsala Short Film Festival. Felt very low on energy at first, but felt better as the run went on.

Running 10:00 [2]
To start and from finish
7 PM
Orienteering 1:10:44 [3] 8.84 km (8:00 / km) +112m 7:31 / km
Night-O training for Smålandskavlen, not for the faint of heart.
Thick fog in the fields, some of the worst terrain around Uppsala, and an outdated map made for an awesome adventure. I wisely chose to run the middle course (6.7km instead of the 9.3 the big boys ran), but this did mean that I was alone in the darkness for most of the time, except for a couple of times when I passed Elisa after screwing up. The biggest mistake was when I found a massive unmapped road between controls 3 and 4 and thought I was off the map. Ran around, relocated, decided to ignore the road, and found the control. Apparently, Albin did warn us of the unmapped road in the pre-race briefing, but I must have not been listening.
Anyway, here are some results: http://www.oklinne.nu/onsdagsnatt/results.php?id=1...
