running 18:00 [2]
warm-up/down
orienteering 1:40:50 [4] 7.1 km (14:12 / km)
Surahammars SOK golfbåna map - course planned by Finns... quite a bit of green... in which i ran atrociously... had difficulty running, keeping a direction, reading the map... visibility was low.
It is WOC-relevant. The question is how, and how much. I'm not very good at green... do I train it now?? or try to pick races without green??
Klaus ran it in around 70... so lost thirty minutes on him from the 9th control.

WOC training area. Nice white forest. Technical but very good visibility. No major mistakes. Used four minutes verifying aafter arriving at the control site, so could have done 45-46 with controls...
Klaus/Misha ran 39ish. 40 might be qualifying time for a final?? Can I pull in five minutes in three weeks? How? Happy with my run... only minor wobbles... but I have to learn to do the same running fast. Twentieth and final control was easy and I ran it fast, along the top of a ridge. Stony but runnable ground. 3:04 to MM's 3:06 :) He asked me why I don't run the rest of the course like that. Why indeed... fitness and map-reading.
Thw whole forest was stony/runnable. Next day's map is much tougher, fell several times, esp in green

orienteering 16:59 [5]
Sprint Training, Västerås. Råby
Lost a minute maybe at the end on the final control, maybe twenty seconds due to a heavy fall towards the end, and a minute due to cutting rather than taking paths. Path running is much much faster.
That would take me down to 14:40. I reckon qualification is sub14,,, Klaus ran 13:17 or some such a while back. Misha, not trying, ran 15 or so...

already lost ten minutes to Marcus over the first 6 controls incl a bad route choice. in Sweden, go straight!
Not a good run but still finished second... again to marcus who ran a very good, steady 88 minutes, losing maybe 3 minutes in total

running 6:00 [4]
fast run to the start. we arrived late so i had to peg it. arrived 15 seconds before call-up. not ideal pre-race preparation. grrr
