Nice run through the forest from home. Feeling pretty average and weak.

Event: Tiomila 2008
 

Scared as hell while warming up. Didnt warm down, but really should have, mega pain in thighs, abs and butt now

So, so awesome to be at Tiomila. I ran the last leg, no splits! Started out alone then caught a huge pack somehow and led them to number one. It was very scary!! Then drifted off the pack (they were running way faster than I was comfortable with and I got into major oxygen debt and did dumb things) and did the last 3 controls alone. Heaps of pain and suffering. Another huge learning experiance for me!

It was such a beautiful day, and great to just be able to watch the men race all night with GPS tracking and camera controls. Leksand's guys were doing really well, in the lead pack until the last leg where we they dropped from 5th to 16th.

Training near Rättvik. Ran memory course and then a normal one. Nice open forest for running in, with some interesting contour detail. Didnt run too hard and was orienteering really well, concentration was good. Funny how orienteering goes so much better for me when Im training. I think I have to find the right state of mind for when I race. I know I'm fit enough, and I know I can orienteer, just got to work out how to do it on the day.

Went for a run on an old course from home. Also did some compass work up on top in some denser trees, this seems to be what Im really struggling with at the moment. Beautiful day for a run, cant believe it was so cold here 2 weeks a go.

Also got results from blood test last week, iron levels are a little low. Per suggests blood pudding everyday....I might ask the doc for something else.

Club intervals. 15x1min with 30sec recovery. All good.

Also found out tonight I'll be running last leg for the 2nd leksand team at Tiomila this weekend.
