Rank: 2/7, +2'27"
Östgötakavlen, leg 4
Started good on the first control, but then got problems when attacking 2nd and ended up a bit to far right and lost 20". The 3rd control was dead easy but getting there turned out to be a problem. Went to far left but thought I was on the right of the control and all of a sudden I was standing on a dirt road 150 m from the control. Damn! There was an obvious lack of concentration and I had to take the next control without mistake. But, the 4th control was the biggest mess of them all. Went just above the control (2-3 m) and stopped at a cliff and turned back. Went to the same stone as last time but still no depression and control below it. Went further back towards the 3rd control and verified my last position at the rock. Back again and there is the control just below the rock :( Lost at least 2' on this control.

After the 4th control everything went smoothly except a small mistake when leaving second last control. But no biggie.

I feel there is a lot missing physical, but still orienteering is very fun and even though I'm not training much I can appreciate cruising around the course.

before the race.. nothing afterwards.

Lunch run down to the old 3 km track on the old military exercise field. Tried to get some speed into the session and kept just over 4 min/km so it was quite ok. It also felt really nice in the body so I will try some intervals on friday.

Core strength training (Rockgympa) in Bäcksskolan
Ptr led this amazingly good training. I'm looking forward to some really sore muscles tomorrow.

In conjunction with the core strength training.
