 | Orienteering 1:20:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Brooks cascadia |
| Went to middle relevant map, although not the most relevant there is. Seemed a bit too flat to be too relevant. Ran a few short courses as intervals. Were some super nice fast parts but also some steep climbs and yucky grassy bits. Pretty good map and in general things made sense to me. Quite a good session until I got ridiculously tired towards the end. |

| Orienteering race 1:57:09 [4] 11.3 km (10:22 / km) | |
| shoes: VJ Twister |
| Ran Finnish and Czech team long distance test race. It was an epic. Quite a few long route choice legs and climb. Thought I was being a bit foolish with some of my route choices early on and trying to go too straight. Tried to watch what a few of the czechs were doing as they ran past and seems like they don't necessarily go wider, but just decide on something and do it without stopping. I was a bit stop and start, trying to work out vegetation changes etc. and very slow up the climbs. Very long run but really good relevant training for classic.

| Things still not going quite to plan in Czech. Couldn't get hold of proper training maps for today so ran a course on a very old map. I quickly got irritated by how out of date it was so gave up bothering with it too much and ended up just running along behind the boys and had a bit of a look at the forest. Not feeling very good running at the moment. |

| Today turned into a rest day. Flew down to Czech early morning and had planned to run Finnish team test race late in arvo. Hadn't anticipated that 7 hours wouldn't be enough to drive the 300km from Prague to the race so we ended up missing it :(
We get another chance to run czech team test race on same map next week though..

| shoes: VJ Twister |
| O-Festival Relay at Siggerud, Norway. Ran in GMOK team with Mimi, Laurina, Pippa. Ran last leg. Actually had a decent run and definitely the best one of the weekend. Felt a little bit more like I was actually racing rather than stumbling. Was still pretty tough but didn't seem to be quite as much climbing up cliffs as the other two races. Happy to end on a better note after yesterday. |

| Orienteering race 2:02:49 [4] 10.5 km (11:42 / km) | |
| shoes: VJ Twister |
| World Cup long distance at Siggerud, Norway. Chasing start based on yesterday's results. What an epic. Ran quite alright for the first half of the course but then made a huge mistake of more than 10mins on no.19. Just couldn't figure out what was going on and saw heaps of girls run through me but couldn't work out where they were coming from or where they were going. It was a shocker and total failure to relocate. Made another almost 5 min mistake a couple of controls later. After that I was pretty demoralised and just went into survival mode for the rest of the course. Thought about pulling out lots of times as it was so tough and had a long way still to go but couldn't bring myself to do it and I forced myself to finish. It was a very ugly result though. |
| Running 15:00 [3] 2.6 km (5:46 / km) | |

| Jogged from check in to pre-start. Too tired to warm down, but had been warming down on the course for about an hour anyway.. |

| World Cup middle distance at Siggerud, Norway. Ran ok, no big mistakes anyway. Was pretty tough physically and technically and it was a bit of a shock to the system running in very foreign terrain. Had some good sections but just never felt like i was fully in race mode. Quite a lot of mins behind but was happy to finish mid-field for the chasing start tommorrow. |

| Ran Venla relay in GMOK team on second leg. Had an average run. Two significant mistakes of about 2 mins each both for annoying reasons, got distracted by other people instead of running my own race. Found it pretty hard physically and technically. Wasn't a disaster but a little bit dissappoining. |

| Queens b'day Day 2 at Snow's Hill, the south part. It was a good course and interesting area and tricky in places. Wasn't really concentrating very well though and consequently made a few mistakes. My worst unstuckness was on no.9 where it was a bit vague and low vis. Took a route choice which I knew was risky and stopped a bit early and got confused. Had some good sections though and felt ok running. |

| Day 1 of QB3 on new sand mining map (Wild Deer Sands) adjoining the sandhills. It was a super fun map and lots of detail. Had a bit of a shocker on no.3, and seemed to end up way too high and was slow to relocate. Missjones went passed while I was stuffing up 3 and we were together through the middle part of the course which was hard work as she was running so fast. Was pretty happy with run after number 3, just a couple of wiggles. |
