Skiing 3:30:00 [1] 23.13 km (9:05 / km) +341m 8:27 / km
Day 3 of the camp: Kräkkja - Finse. Packed up all of our stuff in the morning, pet the local wolfdog that lives at Kräkkja, and headed northwest towards Finse, the town (and cabin) located next to the massive Hardangerjøkulen glacier, which apparently was the sight for some of the Empire Strikes Back battle scenes. This was a long ski, made more difficult by the killer headwind over the last ten km or so. Seeing the kiteboarders taking advantage of the winds was pretty cool though!

Skiing 1:30:00 [1] 15.35 km (5:52 / km) +335m 5:17 / km
Day 2 of our awesome skiing adventure in the Hardangervidda, on the mountain plateau between Oslo and Bergen. We spend two nights in the Kräkkja cabin, so on the second day we could ski without heavy packs. The whole group headed south over the nearest hill and down some steep and fun downhills to a hotel with waffles. Some of us continued on for a bit after the lunch stop and then turned around and skied back to the cabin, complete with a long, snowplowing downhill down the final slope. Gorgeous weather once again.

Skiing 3:44:56 [1] 22.95 km (9:48 / km) +407m 9:00 / km
Day 1 of our ski adventure in the Hardangervidda with Alli, Cristina, Melissa, Sam, and Ross. What was meant to be a 7km ski from the beginning turned out to be about 23km as our train did not stop at the place we wanted to start skiing. Luckily, the weather was great, and everyone was in good spirits, even when we climbed an extra mountain and then had numerous wipeouts trying to get back down. It was really nice to make it to the cabin at Kraekkja before dark and before dinner.

Some intervals on the Ekeby/Flogsta/Studentstaden loop in the sunshine. Did part of the club's workout from Tuesday: (1'-2'-3'-1'-1')x2 with half-time rest between intervals and 2' rest between sets. Felt pretty good, and was happy that the bike paths were a lot less icy than they had been on Thursday.

Running 1:58:54 [2] 17.42 km (6:50 / km) +145m 6:33 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 2013
After many years of orienteering and training, I am still learning lessons. Today's lesson was: heel insert + low orienteering shoe + wobbly ankles = a lot of pain on hard, crusty snow. I ran a tisdagsbana with a few of the guys, and we mostly ran in the frozen footprints of those who had come before. As long as I landed right in the footprint, everything was fine, but virtually every time that I planted my foot a little off-center, my ankle twisted and caused a lot of pain. It was a really unpleasant feeling, especially since it meant I had no confidence in my foot plants with my right foot. I gradually lost the group and ended up running the last 40 minutes or so on my own. Lesson learned.

Tempo intervals. Got home as Sam was about to head out the door and quickly changed to join her and Lisa for a warmup. Then did 2x12 minutes with 3 minutes rest in between. Planned to do 3:45 min/km. This worked fine for the first interval, but was too hard at a tempo effort on the way back, uphill and into the wind.
