Orienteering race 50:26 [5] *** 10.34 km (4:53 / km)
spiked:24/33c shoes: Asics GEL Dirt Dog #3

Rank: 1/30, -4'45"
Interland long distance (spectator competition)
I was tired from the day before (board games and a bit of whiskey combined just 5.5 h of sleep ;) but the legs felt ok. Made one big (1') mistake but a series of smaller mistakes (10-30"). I pushed hard and managed to win the spectator competition with a good margin. I you combine the results from the championship with the spectator competition I still would have won by 2' before Nick Barrable and 4' before Axel Fischer. Good stuff!

spiked:27/29c shoes: Asics GEL Dirt Dog #3

Rank: 1/33, -0'55"
Interland middle distance in Boshoverheide
I started of ok, but not great. Had to run for a few controls before I got into reading the map in full speed. I made 2 minor (15" and 25") mistakes but managed to keep my orienteering almost flawless after the 9th control. It felt great afterwards. No problem with the running speed.

Orienteering race 44:39 [5] ***** 6.03 km (7:24 / km)
spiked:15/22c shoes: Asics GEL Dirt Dog #3

Rank: 5/17, +7'24"
Interland night orienteering in Boshoverheide
Started off good the first controls, but then when the orienteering became harder I did not slow down. This lead to numerous mistakes. The lamp also managed to go out on my way to the fifth control and was not completely stable after that.

Back and from the training and a little bit of jogging all over the place.

Running trail/forest tempo 25:00 [4] 4.0 km (6:15 / km)
shoes: Asics GEL Nimbus VIII

Was chasing Cecilia Kleist a bit on her night orienteering training. It was a little bit of interval training for me because I couldn't quite keep up with her in the forest due to not having any head light, but I caught up with her on the larger paths :)

Felt really easy and I could easily have sprinted really fast today. Feeling great for tomorrows race :)

Running long 1:00:00 [3] 11.0 km (5:27 / km)
shoes: Asics GEL Nimbus VIII

First I had planned on running the intervals as usual, but I had a headache and felt quite tired so I decided just to run a little to feel how the body responds. I felt really tired and didn't run a long training. :(
