 | Orienteering race (Modum 2 dagers - day 1) 46:43 [3] *** 4.2 km (11:07 / km) | |
| spiked:11/14c shoes: VJ Twister |
| Norwegian Ultra-Long Champs for the elites and probably the best "local" terrain we've been in since we came here. Less rock than round Oslo, and hence far more runnable especially if you have legs as aged, and ankles as sensitive, as ours. Lovely runnable bilberry covered hills, and reasonably straightforward navigation wise - didn't stop me making mistakes though. Not very imaginative use of the area though.
Lundanes (not doing NM champs) was running same first 4 controls and caught me 1 min at control 1 on a 3 min leg, and I never saw him again - well lets be honest it would be a cataclysmic event if I had.
Ended up 8 minutes down in H50 over 4.2k. 2 mins lost at 6 with a parallel error, lost concentration on the long 7th leg and had poor route anyway - so what was probably an 11-12 minute leg took 15 so at least another 3 went begging. Couldn't figure out the vegetation at 11, and that was another 2, then messy to 12. Hence easy to account for the 8. The last 3-4 controls were through pretty scrappy forgettable stuff, but apart from that enjoyed it all immensely.
HT won H21E and MA 2nd to A-MH in W21E - good day for Nydalens SK! |

| Orienteering race (Bedrifts at Grønliåsen) 1:05:34 [3] *** 5.1 km (12:51 / km) | |
| spiked:4/11c shoes: VJ Twister |
| Think I've forgotten how to Orienteer here. Nice area near Kolbotn but I struggled from the start. Just couldn't work out why some things were mapped and others not. Messed up 1 and 2 big time and things didn't get much better. Still, nice evening and lots of chanterelles and bilberries. "Must do better". Achilles a bit tender. |
Monday Aug 4 |
| Bike 36:00 [3] 11 km (3:16 / km) | |
| |
| Usual jaunt down the hill to work. Not really sure whether this is really training as it's almost all downhill..can't freewheel it though..and it is back up at night. Best bit is through Vigeland park, over the bridge past the statues and down by the burn.
Back up the way.
