orienteering 1:40:00 [4]
Set off on long O in the deep snow (yey) with club training, did the first 3 controls as a group (5 including me and Dave - aparently its risky to run in the snow). After 3 i decided to cut off as i wasnt able to navigate well at the speed they were running and wanted to do some snow navigation!
Discovered little knolls all look the same in the snow and I couldnt decide if i was where i wanted to cut off up to the next control or not...
had a bit of a faff then headed on an uber long way round on the paths (which didnt work out much shorter than the long o) to find the control. did the final bit of the course in better style, not getting confused by knolls and navigating! By the time i'd finished faffing and done some actual oreinteering Dave and co had finished just before me having completed the whole course

Running 1:06:00 [3]
Ran from club hut at top of Skatas, past lake, across the bottom of Getryggen to Ojersjo and back
orienteering 47:00 [3]
Did some long leg training on Ojersjo, 6.25km planned, cut slightly short due to lack of feeling in hands/feet.
Managed some decent navigation at speed which was good considering the distraction of blood returning to fingers pain.
Not had that numb hands for aggggeeees!

Warm up/down to Getryggen and back with Dave and em.
orienteering 1:18:00 [3]
Did a trains exercise with Dave and Em, was caught on the first couple, but caught them up on the third....then realised why...bit of a vague spot!
tried out 3 different route choices to the next control, running round the paths seemed to be the best at this point!

Did train like excercise on Getryggen. Was caught by Em and Dave on the first couple of loops. Caught them on the third....then realised why....lots of vagueness!
Tried out 'which route choice is quickest' on the next control, paths seemed to be the way forward for this one!

orienteering 1:12:00 [2]
Arrived in Gothenburg!
Did a line course on skatas with Danger, first person put out three flags on the line, 2nd followed line at collected then we switched.
I placed a flag on some english sized boulders that were not even mapped but other than that was fairly accurate.
