Gustavsbergs Medeldistans
Shit. I think a lot of it comes from not being able to focus and calm down from not getting a good sleep before, and then I was just rushing the whole thing.
Weakest links were exit directions and reading contours.
Lost 30s on #1 because I didn't know what I was looking for, 35s on #2 from not checking compass enough and getting pushed around, 2s on #3 from not a good exit direction so line could've been smoother but generally okay leg, thinking better. Bad exit + distracted by other people so pushed around cost me 1:30 on #4. Better on #5 but still 30s behind on leg. #6 was good, probably mostly because I was led into it. Then I rushed out without checking exit properly, in of course the wrong direction, lost 10 mins on this leg, eventually somehow making my way back to the control I started at and orienteering but still not using the right things. I was not thinking at all, didn't follow the process or use the right things. Thought I was past this but obviously I can't take good orienteering for granted. Bad exit + not reading contours/map right again costs me 1min on #8 and another on #10 and 40s on #12. Bad compass in the second part is another 30s on #13, not reading map at all is 45 on the last 3. It was bad.
Whole run was rushed then started to get angry then upset.
Learning from this and moving on.
Something positive to finish this off - things went well when I checked exit feature + direction and looked up for what I was heading towards. Everything comes back to following the process.
Weather was shit too but forest was so so pretty.

Easy around Södermalm then to the pool to meet the fam and go down the slide.
Feeling a bit tired and started to get stiff towards the end so finished with some strides. Nice run.

Trying to stay up straighter, felt better.

Yoga

Yoga

4 x 5mins with 2mins rec
Good session, keeping it controlled but still pushing.
Shorter because feeling tired + have a sore throat this week and the house has been sick and being careful not to catch it.
Starting to get warm out which is nice!!

Easy out in the snow.
Really nice out when it wasn’t snowing into my face.
Could’ve kept going but slipped on some ice and landed on my knee and when I stopped to decide it tightened up so decided not to risk it.
Trying to keep upright and be bouncy, getting better at it i think and it definitely helps.

Yoga

Tripple hiit + cxworx

Yoga

Yoga. Goal is to be able to touch my toes soon!

Indoor track - 6 x 800m on 4:30 cycle followed by 6 x 200m on 2min cycle. 3:30 between the two.
Feeling pretty tired so not sure how this would go but I think body felt the yoga from earlier more and ended up being a good session!
Keeping it steady, same pace for first halves and increasing for the second parts. Consistent. Leading the second group the whole way, everyone liked how consistent I was and stuck behind haha. Luckily wasn't going too hard to didn't die mentally too much and need someone in front much.

Trying to fix form for the 200s - chest straighter up/out and shoulders back, back in a straighter line and not slouching, looking up, using glutes better, lifting knees, landing on toes. Really good, breathing was easier and felt lighter. Need to get bouncier though.
