| Aarau Street Orienteering meet: ran ok, started unconcentrated and made a mistake to #3. It was kind of tricky today with the walls and many places one just could not get through partly it was on a different level (such as entrances into garages or bike cellars, underpasses) which was hard to make out sometimes. We eventually went also into the old town (like the elite sprint race) and again, it was tricky in spots where are there stairs that ascend from the castle, church etc down the lower parts?
Made appr. 3 min mistakes, could have been 2nd, but it seems that everyone had trouble here or there because it was hard to determine where one could get through.
I'm still happy.
Yesterday a rest day :-( because of shopping and errands, and then it rained!! No motivation whatsoever!! |

| Run up to the Bleiki meadow again; first, my legs hurt and felt heavy, but then they grew stronger and stronger. I knew that it was going to be a fast time, in fact, it was the best so far on this route. Now, the next goal will be to run it under an hour.
34.11 to Ruedi's hut, 8.32 up, total 42.43 and 20.58 back hotel (best time!) |

| Busy day today! Teach a NW intro class in the afternoon, another yoga class over lunch and the regular NW class in the evening. Go to the ruins Goldswil, take again the slower group.
Very tired in the evening after an 11-hour work day. |

| Evening run with Manuela; still feel my heavy legs but it was good to get out anyways.
My "normal" workday with teaching a yoga class in the am, work with administrative stuff and an afternoon Nordic Walking intro class with seniors which is always so rewarding but also so tiring as they require lots of attention and description of detail. |
Tuesday May 13 |
| Nordic Walking 1:10:00 [2] 6 km (11:40 / km) +80m 10:56 / km | |
| |
| "Regular" day back at work with teaching classes; did not go on my usual Tuesday lunch run as I simply felt lazy and there was much to do as Monday was off.
Nordic Walking with my Tuesday group of 13 people!! That many people makes me work pretty hard to switch between the faster group and the slower group. Go towards ruins Unspunnen, Wilderswil, to Sachseten creek and back trough the kleiner Rugen. Beautiful evening out. |

| O-race near Murten; very green and deep ravines, wet and muddy. On our course we had 22 controls!!! It was kind of fun first to get the controls on every corner or so, then we dropped into the slope and that's where I must have been strong and beat everybody else! It was kind of fun, pretty hard in spots and special course-setting.
Won my age group (AND finally also Simone's mom who often runs down from her age group!) by big margin.
One route choice problem as I was stuck in blackberry shrubs, but that was bad luck and not quite visible on the map, and another mistake when I went a tad too far and had to fight through green stuff back to the flag. |
| Mountain Biking 1:11:00 [3] 25 km (2:50 / km) | |

| Rode around the Lake of Murten after the O-race and ate some ice cream and the local sweet pie in a restaurant. Very pleasant :-)) |
