went up early and looked at the finish in the men's relay. In the afternoon we took the ferry home. "wrong" ferry, but at least we had the numerous world champion Andrey Khramov to dance with. He was crazy!!! He is definitely a champ on the dance floor too ;)

Event: Jukola Relay Kytäjä-Jukola 2010
 

warm up.

Venla Relay, leg 3. I went out as number 118 and in as 59, it says quite much about my race. It was hard to passed 59 person (+ all others on leg 1 and 2). I never get a good flow in the running, I have to speed up and down all the time. The orienteering was okay tough. I should probably have 5 minutes better time on a training, with only me in the forest :p I think the orienteering not was so hard as they have told me. I did one silly miss on 30s and then I loose time (about one and a half minute?) on the long course because I was so unsure on my self. My team ended at place 50 after 4 legs. It was more than okay with the team we had. Indeed our reserve, Agnetha Eriksson, on the 2nd leg did very well, and she inspired me so much in the change over!! When she came with the map it shone out with fighting passion, will, joy and braveness. Her last steps made my race :D Her comment afterwards was that she wanted to give me some good backs to run after. these backs were passed after 100 meter ;) It was a pity that we was so long after from the start. It's unusual that Frida don't change over in the leading group. It become too many places for us other to take in. We all enjoyed the race tough, and I had very fun. That's the most important.

Run a very simple Orienteering training at Ågelsjön together with Anna S, Linnea, Albert, Hyden and August. It was mostly tracks and some forest. Run all together, a nice distance workout. It was very hilly, which was good preparation for the upcoming weekend in Finland.

First 10*30s:30s and then 5*2min:1min on the tracks in Strömsfors. Felt a bit sore in my hamstring. Don't know what that sore come from?

20*50s:10s. Stomach, back, arms, ass, core etc...

long run on paths from Lilla Älgsjön in the direction to Mela.

warm down one lap at the 3km track, very slow speed.

Jukkola training/test. The training start with 3 km running around the 3 km track at Lilla Älgsjön, mass start. The track is full with stones and roots, so it's a good track for orienteers, really tricky. No step are like the other.
Because I haven't warmed up I started a bit deffensive, which was good, I always start to hard and almost die in the end. Today I felt really strong the whole way, and I had energy to run faster and faster for each step. It almost felt like I was flying. The feeling I had today I really want to remember for other races. While I felt so strong and had power to run fast in the end I catch up some of the boys in my club at the end of the track. This 3 km was good for my self confidence! Finally things are going my way!!

Directly after the running around the 3km track an orienteering course was waiting. A tough 4 km, the blueberry sprigs are so high now, over my knees. Felt like running in snow. Was hard to get any speed. But I fight well and the orienteering felt pretty good.

10 min core before the shower.
