Trail run 12:29 [2] 1.96 km (6:22 / km) +31m 5:54 / km
Fell asleep very early after Saturday's efforts but did not sleep super well. Sunday morning came too early and then it was back out to the clubhouse and a jog over to the start of a mass start 10 k race with the whole UTH crowd. Toe unhappy.
orienteering 1:43:57 [4] 12.56 km (8:16 / km) +134m 7:51 / km
Brain dead, but able to proceed mostly on autopilot. Quickroute here. Got really confused on the way to 3, slowed way down in the swamps because I was on a trail/ride but couldn't find it on the map. Knew that I had gotten pushed off my line, didn't realize how far though, so I had trouble relocating.
Slow through the butterfly loops and then a conservative route to 21. Didn't see anyone after leaving the butterfly with Anna, until I got to the end of the course and Simon appeared. I waited at the last boulder for him so that we could cruise back to the clubhouse, and lunchtime, together.

orienteering 8:33 [4] 0.39 km (22:09 / km)
Last official training of the UTH (uppsala training weekend). No quickroute, because it was held indoors. Niklas had held a training at his school once before, but I had never been. I was just happy that we were indoors where it was warm. map.
SI sprint course, 1:750 map, and tired legs :)
I had a pretty clean course, a small hesitation on 1, before I realized that the numbers on the SI units didn't match up, and a wrong turn on 9, when I got turned around on the stairwell.
Good enough for 5th in the qual results less than 30 seconds behind Bronze medalist Olle Bostrom :)

And the final was more chaos. A jaktstart, or hunting/chase start. Which meant that people bunched up like crazy almost right away. Especially when one of the early controls was tucked away behind some bags in the trash room :) map.
I was staying in good contact on the final, but there were so many other runners around, pushing and shoving to get at the controls, that it felt like a mob more than a race.
Great fun. Final results here

Strength 1:00:00 [3]
A weekend without Synggmagnus is almost unthinkable now! Henrik reminded us that there were awesome Advent fireworks on display in the evening (at 4:30, when it had been pitch black for awhile already) and Sam and I biked over to the castle with Elisa and Johan to watch, before heading down the hill for Gympa.
Naturally very tired, but the parts that hurt the most were where I had fallen on my bike, run into trees in the night and my messed up toe, which I guess is a good sign that my muscles are strong and capable of a tough weekend of training. Seriously, the toe is worrisome, couldn't go deep into the lunges with my right leg because it required flexing the toe joint in the wrong way.
