| Running 40:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Asics GT 2120 (apr08) |
| wasnt able to get this run this morning cause i was extrememly tired, so i went at night. Felt amazing, which could have been due to a number of things: It was dark, which for some reason makes me feel like im running faster than i actually am. It was halloween, maybe had a bit of a sugar high:P Was wearing my new cwx tights. Had my music with me. Just finished a hard week of school! |

| Felt alright, only cramped up on my last lap. Tried to be more consistent with my lap times and tried to get around 240 a lap. After two laps though i kinda stopped looking at my watch, and when i was coming into the finish i was a bit dissapointed when i looked at my time. I've only improved by 7s from the first evaluation in september :S oh well i am improving, just slowly. NEW pb!

supposed to be an easy week this week cause last week was long. But my last week wasn't very long, so i might make this week medium or something. Juggling orienteering/fun races into ski training kinda messes things up... |

| Pretty sloppy race. Was running well i think, but i could list a whole bunch of places where i lost time. Whatever an OK race. Was suprised where i placed in the end.
Weekend Summary:
Happy with my races, I suprisingly placed well and my times behind the winners was good. Kinda dissapointed that i didn't get a medal, since I was fairly close in all races, and I was really eager to get an elite medal in my last big race of the year.

| was really looking forward to this evaluation to try to improve on my last attempt, but things went wrong today.
I went too fast off the start again, but mainly it was that for the last half i had bad stomach cramps. On top of that i was way too hot. Standing around it was freeezing but i once i started running hard i got way too hot.
I know it's a lot of excuses(i could come up with more), but the positive is that i toughed it out for the last 3 laps and managed to get the exact same time as last month!

| Brought my friend Nic from the ski team out. He's a smart guy (engineering) and a fast runner and so the intermedite looked too easy to him and the S.A a bit too hard. So instead he did the L.A with me. I did most of the navigating but he did really well and followed along most of the way, and even saved me from accidently skipping #8. We were moving pretty well, made a few small mistakes, but although he's a fast road runner i think he found it difficult trying to keep up through the woods:)
He said he found it really fun, and found it was a big adrenaline rush while running through the woods. Also thought it was crazy how much thinking there is to be done the whole time while running. I think he'll come out again :)
will post routes later, fun course by the way. |

| 4x4mins, went easyish on the first 3 maybe just under 4min/k pace, then on the last one i did 1km in 3:20 which is good for me. I dont know how people are so fast though, it honestly felt like i was sprinting that whole time. |
