Ridiculous day of eating at strange times (breakfast 7, lunch 11) and travelling but watched a good movie (Its all gone pete tong) with gg at the airport.
This was supposed to be a realy simulation again but we started earlier as Signe had to get an early train and we got the same one. Not tio relevant but good training. Ran well and making good plans. Went 9-14-15-home as not time to do the whole thing. Enough though after the last couple of days!
RPE: 4

Ran ran part 1 from yesterday afternoon but taking different routes (ones i thought would be good). Interesting to see the times comparison.
Then the third loop at a steady pace. Missed 14 (boulder in boulders in a marsh) and got confused on the way to 16 and never actually found the path but otherwise good.
hamstrings tired from lots of running and snow. a positively warm +0.5oC.
RPE:3

Frustratingly I seem to have lost my map from this. I have also lost my pink pen and i suspect that both of them are in the pocket of seat 6c on an SAS plane. bugger.
Good training session though. Gaffled courses with Laura and Emma T setting off first then me, emma D and alex followed by Signe and Annika. Sat in behind Alex on the way to 1 which turned out not to be gaffled and ran the first third well, good orienteering and not being distracted by others. Started to feel like i'd rememberd how to orienteer properly. Fanous last words. Totally messed up 6. Basically my bearing wasn't good enough and i got distracted by the terrible map (mainly white with a yellow gap with power lines in on map, in reality all felled, including the power lines it seemed). crossed a bit stream like i was supposed to but it turned out it was only a small stream on the map. Found Alex who was looking for 5 then worked out where we were and went off to 6. Ran the rest of that bit with Alex and Emma, who both gave up at the 5km mark so was on my own for the last 2.5km. Very tired by the end but glad i perseveerd.

afternoon

morning

Part 1: Pre-decided route choice exercise with Annika and Signe (pre-decided in that we knew whether we were running the left, middle or right most option but still had to decide micro route choice en route). Very tiomila relevant but disapopintingly the map was pretty poor. Some good long legs. In general straight with minor variations was great.
Part 2: Trains with 30s interval. Caught a bit on Signe to 9 but lost it again to 10. She pulled away a bit and almost caught annika but then messed up at the end and we finished together.
A few cm snow on the ground but a whole 3 degrees warmer than the morning at -5.5oC
RPE: 5

middle ish distance course on Vättefejden. Very Hungary relevant and not very tiomila relevant. Started off quite hard but got in a boo when i got stuck in a load of felled trees with branches and leaves poking out everywhere. consequently messed up the next control but clean afterwards. good fun and mostly happy with my oing just a bit stop-starty still and need to get back in the habbit of making a good plan for every leg. -8.5oC so blooming freezing but less snow that there was in eccy woods earlier in the week... :)
