| #5. Last day. Unfortunately I made some mistakes already on the 2nd (route choice) and 3rd control (form line re-entrant in green area...the only difficult control), so instead of moving up immediately, I first had to catch up the people who had passed me. I did that just before the flat, super open area and I managed to get away from a few other runners (I don´t like head to head sprints when I'm tired) except one who bet me with five seconds. I was 29th on the stage and 21st overall. Five seconds from 20th but almost five minutes from 19th place so the errors on 2 and 3 didn't mean that much. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the week. |

| #4. After another hard wrestling night with Isak it was time for day four. Less hills than yesterday except for a monster climb (60m climb in 200m) and some fast open pine with plenty of trails. Technically I did a good race too and the legs were the best so far this week. 9th place today and 23rd overall. Top 15 is not realistic but hopefully I can squeeze in below 20th place. |

| #3. Sweden's Japan. The area or surrounding areas, I believe, was for a while considered to be used for the Swedish WOC tests. In other words it was tough and on parts of the course the terrain was pretty rough too. BTW www.obasen.nu/runoway has all the maps and courses from O-ringen and other events. Anyway, I had planned to start moving a bit faster today but I had a sloppy race, many minor mistakes and my 200-th something place from the last control to the finish line shows my legs have seen better days too. However, it wasn't that bad, I finished 44th and climbed to 32nd overall but it is getting more and more difficult to advance. The good thing with 5-days is that it is always one more day, at least, where you can improve except the last day but then you are just happy it is over. |

| #2. Beautiful woods again. Lots of marshes and some short steep hills in between. Legs were tired but I kept it together for most part of the race. 4 minutes behind winner and 37th place on the stage, quick punching is important. |

| #1. Woods great. Much better then anticipated. What would it have been without the January storm? A bit rusty orienteering wise and I made one big error. Legs good though despite the long journey. 46th place - will be better. |

| An evening run in "my" woods. Always a nice feeling. Tired from the flight but nice to get some fresh air and, most of all, some cooler air. Journey was loooong with no sleep but if you're a globetrotter what can you do... |
