Running warm up/down 37:00 [1]
shoes: Asics Nimbus
Amazingly chatted with 3 different OUOC gals during warm-up and warm-down! Found Hanna around uni parks, warmed up with her for 20 min or so, then found Anne right close to New College, we ran around the fields twice, then ran with Lucy back towards lab afterwards!!
Strength 45:00 [1]
shoes: Asics Nimbus
OUOC Circuits!
Outdoors again, finally back at New College. I took it a bit easy on some of the leg stuff because 1) my bruised/cut knee hurts and 2) I want my legs fresh to do a good hurdles session tomorrow.

Running warm up/down 8:00 [1]
shoes: Walshes
After waking up at 4:15, eating a bit (2 granola bars), and sorting myself out to race!
Jogged around a bit, then pranced around for awhile in the handoff area. I felt fine and awake at the beginning, but after being in the handoff area for a bit started to feel sleepy... Woke up for sure when I went out though!

Leg 6 at Tio Mila!
9.6k during the day
244th place on my leg (6th leg of men's relay)
That was way fun. Some bobbles during the first loop, but altogether a good race and I really, really enjoyed it. I definitely found the terrain easier than Lunsen and some of the other areas we trained at for the varsity match around Uppsala- I think the mix of bigger hills and paths were what made it easier. Could look for bigger features instead of little ones, so simplification was, well, simpler.
My messiest leg was probably to #2- a path error right from the start, then was hesitant making my way north to the east of a big hill, when I didn't need to worry about much besides following the bottom of the hill and hitting the large track at the other end. Also confused 2 black-'O'-things (not even sure what these were? wells? they were obvious though) on the way into the control, which made me look the other side of the wrong hill for a bit.
Recovered from all that silliness fairly quickly and things were mostly smooth the rest of the way around. Bashed my knee real hard on the way to 4 though, ouchie for sure, and probably slowed that leg down significantly as I had to walk it off for a bit. Some hesitation to 5 and 10 as well, but not too horrible, I don't think.
It was also just a blast to be there, spectate, chat, and surprisingly, get some sun in! And met other American orienteers (CSU team plus Sandra from OK Tyr), which is way cool- hopefully teammates sometime in the not-too-far future... =)

Event: Tiomila 2008
Running 40:24 [1]
Easy loosen-up run after travelling. Felt pretty tight for the first 10 minutes, much much better after that though. Mixed in some running drills and a streching session 15 minutes in.

Running warm up/down 22:40 [1]
shoes: Asics Nimbus
Still a bit tight, but ok for intervals. Already realized during my warm-up that I was going to be dehydrated...
Running intervals 15:00 [5]
3 x 5 min, flat
Felt pretty good. Except was totally losing focus at the end of the last one. Think my head was getting a bit fuzzy from being dehydrated. Decided to skip the 3 x 1min at the end due to the dehydration.

Running (Recovery) 27:21 [1]
Ouchie ouch! Felt how sore my legs were as I lay in bed, so just went for a very easy short run. Quads and hammies way sore from yesterday's speedwork. Only a week and a half before athletics BUSA, yikes!!
And, just a general note, I'm way psyched to get back into Swedish woods again for Tio this weekend! Wahoo!

Strength (Core) 6:00 [1]
As I missed circuits yesterday, thought I'd at least try to get a little core work in. 5 min abs + 1 min wimp-ups.
