ahr:164 spiked:9/14c
Orienteering Event, DM stafett. Sigtuna - Glädjan, WT ~36min... must have lost 5min on the very long (2.5km?) first control, as rest of race went pretty well. Damn... and I ran pretty hard too...

ahr:119

Friday Sep 7

Orienteering race 1:29:19 [3]**** 10.1 km (8:51 / km)
ahr:158 spiked:16/25c
Orienteering Event, Natt dm, Velamsund, WT: Joakim Jocaobsson: 81:00... (Something was wrong with the organisers timing). Very happy! Took a drinks belt with me... felt like it made a difference - I still had the energy to storm around even at the end of the race. On the other hand I couldn't because I couldn't go any faster navigationally... Noticed two things: I'm very good at finding important features in the terrain which the course-setter manages to cover with the control circle - this sort of thing has accounted for most of my 1min plus mistakes over the past little while... Also, said I only spiked 16 of 25, but I'm included mistakes of 10 sec... which I'm not sure are mistakes (is it a mistake if you choose tactically to run like a lunatic to the rough area of the control, and then improvise your way into the control?)

The race was mostly a dance between me and Niklas - he caught me from four minutes behind after I had nasty 2min error mistake on the 2nd control (organisers circle + new track + me being very confused), and being a little sloppy on the way to the 5th. We had gathered a small train around us. Niklas led the train, though sometimes I would lead or go off on my own. I dropped behind a couple of times, and then caught up with them again. Such a good feeling from after this race - It's been a little while since I've felt this good during a 1.5hr race!

Thursday Sep 6

Orienteering 1:58:00 [2]***** 11.76 km (10:02 / km)
ahr:140 spiked:7/9c
Orienteering Training, Jälla. Ran Natt SM course from 1968, on the old map! Now that was orienteering! Map scale 1:25000. Lots of detail left out - the map is very simplified. Messed up the first control rather a lot - took 15min! (Should have taken around 8 for me...) Pretty much spiked the rest 8 more controls (in 1960's terms... i.e.e less than 2min mistake is not a mistake. 2nd control easy... except for all the crap on the way there (which was basically the theme of the rest of the race...) On the way to the third found a 5m high hill about 20m in diameter which wasn't on the map - you've just got to say to yourself that you are where you are and keep on going (and praying).

ahr:129
Running warm up/down 9:00 [1] 1.5 km (6:00 / km)

Orienteering race 20:22 [3] 2.77 km (7:21 / km)
ahr:162
Orienteering Event, OK Linnés Sprint KM, Engelska parken. WT: Mats Troeng 16min, Why am I so bad at sprints? I guess it is because I never train in them. I wonder though if my lack of sprint technique somehow reflects on my technique in middle/long races...
