Training Log Archive: Sudden

Extremely bad timing but not surprised since I had some symptoms Friday already. I felt fine Friday night and Saturday afternoon though, and I thought I was in the clear, but the sore throat came again Saturday night.

Going for 3 for 3 but didn't have the push necessary for a sprint. Made a few small mistakes and a hattrick was definitely within reach but I was simply not good enough today. A great weekend though and look fwd to go back to NH in the future.

Sprint - Orange - Splits

Sprint - Red X - Splits

Really nice area. Terrain was great for most of the part. Perhaps the entire race actually. Did a few smaller mistakes but ran with the goal to always know exactly where I was, which meant a few extra stops here and there but although Hammer beat me I wouldn't change tactics. It was fun orienteering. Knees hurt a bit at the end.

Loong drive, left Hammer 5AM but I was ready to go and legs felt really good. I came off to a good start and had a decent lead on Red X already after 5 min but had problems 5-6 consecutive controls after that. Pulled it together for a while but did seriously stupid mistake in the ski hill. Won all splits on legs >2 min, a testament to that form was fine physically but too bad my technical ability was not in pair.

Cruising around Ginger Valley Trail

Loop of Pain with ARX. Tough to keep up with Isak. After a couple of warm up laps we were head to head but didn't stand a chance on the last loop.
Ran four 3 x 1 min on the rail trail after.
