 | Orienteering race (Jukola Viesti) 1:58:14 [4] ***** 12 km (9:51 / km) +530m 8:04 / km | |

| CRAZY! started so far back and right on the inside so the only way I could pass people in the start loop was with a few hip and shoulders. was running okay and got up to around 300 on the first few legs before I stopped short running across a large flat vague marshy hill top and watched about 700 people run past me while I tried to work out what I had done wrong. I understand what the cricketers mean by mental disintegration now it hurt so much to watch so many people run past and mot of my motivation ran away with it. I got things back together and started making good progress again before the 3rd or 4th last control which was super hard, again a run across a flat vague area was my undoing as I didn't know where I was coming into the detail and made another big mistake. Finally finished in around 500 not happy but grateful for the experience. Legs were aching and sore and my feet were ridiculously sore, the rocky terrain was a bit harder than I was expecting and the waffle racers don't have much padding. Now to try and eat sleep and get ready to run again last leg for Halden! |

| Last leg for Halden, started with the goal just to get around, wanted to run steady and consistent. Did exactly what I planned solid run, no big mistakes except I didn't finish. Eventually feet got the better of me I just couldn't face runnning across any more rocky areas plus massively fatigued from first leg run. Very, very disappointed as I really didn't want to pull out, including the crappy night race in Canberra that makes two for this year, I want to make sure there are no more. |

| last minute panic trying to fix my headlamp I borrowed off Farum Tisvalde (my first leg team) turned out it was shorting where the two wires attached to the battery so a little bit of electrical tape and I was set, my racce number is 1081 so I have a lot of people to try and catch! |

| Spent the weekend moving house, watched the Socceroos smash Japan (Guus I'm all yours) sat two exams concurrently Tuesday morning (I kid you not I had both papers to do at the same time) ran a mountian of errands tried to finish off everything I had to do at work before I left and then to cap it all off snapped the clutch cable on our car and had to get towed to the mechanic and ring Kelly's mum for a lift home. Then spent 26 hours travelling form Canberra to Helsinki via Sydney and Bangkok. After all you can eat pizza, pasta and icecream for lunch I'm ready to head out and watch the Poms smash T&T. Still unsure if I will get out for a run today or not, see how i feel after the game but heading out into the country tomorrow and will get back into training. |

| Bought a coffee in Helsinki today, I looked at the menu and thought "shit thats expensive" and then realised that it was in Euros not Aussie dollars too. At least it was a good coffee, lucky I brought no-doze tablets for racing or I would be broke after jukola if I had to buy coffees. |
