Warmup

FInding some HittaUt checkpoints on Nåsten in the rain with Alli.

X-Rayed. Showed up for drop-in hours at Akademiska hospital. Total time from parking my bike to unlocking it again on the way out: 18 minutes.

Went to Eriksbergs Vårdcentral today for an appointment with Dr.Mats Martinell about my knee. He looked at it, listened to my description, and recommended:

(1) drain fluid
(2) do a cortisone injection
(3) get x-rays
(4) send me to an orthopedist
(5) take a blood test for borrelia just in case (can someone tell me if borrelia is exactly the same thing as lyme disease, or something different?)

He did (1) and (2) on the spot. There was a lot of fluid, and it was yellow, which I was told was a good color. He said the cortisone will keep the swelling away for a couple of months.
I will go on Tuesday to get x-rays at the hospital. Dr.Martinell will contact me once he has the pictures. We could not do the blood test on the spot because they were having a staff meeting, so I have to come back.

Is there really anyone who thinks that NORT is a good development for orienteering? The last round of the World Cup has participants from 10 countries on the women's side, 15 on the men's: http://www.nordicorienteeringtour.com/index.php?op...
And 3 sprints + 2 middle distances in semi-urban areas. I just can't see how this is good for anyone...

One lap of backbana after work. Felt pretty strong, but the time was really slow. Boo.

Janne's backbana in Uppsala - Splits

Intervals in Stadsskogen with Linné. We ran 3'-2'-1' with 1' rest between intervals and 2' between sets. I did 3 sets, feeling pretty good. Decided to stop at 3 sets, as I didn't want to start feeling knee pain again.
