Local Zurich O, Hardwald (near Kloten).
Some parts very green (nettles OVER my head) and not as on the map, but I can't blame my poor run on that. Often got thrown by vegetation when I should have been relying instead on compass.
Need to work on keeping focus, my mind is generally waaay too over active and I need to teach it to shut up during orienteering. Going to experiment with some mindfulness training.
The arrival of summer, at least for 3 days, made me sooooo happy today but it was tough running in the 'heat'. Scoffing down a bowl of salty instant noodles when I got home was the best.
Rapperswil sprint O race.
Pushed hard but pretty damn slow (2mins behind a junior girl..). Work to do there.
Didn't crack perfect race technically either, making one error through distraction, got caugh tup on details twice and maybe one slower RC. Generally reading ahead well though.

Sore throat still feeling toxic so I wnt for an easier run with some drills instead of road race. Will have to find another to do in a few weeks to make up for it..
Ran across the lake to Rappi at sunset, got back just in time to shelter from yet another hefty downpour.
Short Plyo, aiming to build these sessions up so my legs are strong for the swedish forest :)
2 x per side single leg hopping up stairs (steep horgen bridge steps)
2x 10 squat jumps
