orienteering race 42:11 [4]
25manna
5th leg, 3rd man
IFKL 3
Was worth gettin gout of bed for. I considered not, since I'd been sick all week and still not in the best of shape. But healthy enough to run at 80%... made a couple of wee mistakes, nothing too serious. It was pretty easy with maanga maanga stigar.
and we were the best 3rd team which merited a wee plaque for the club. Our last leg runner went out way after OKL and overtook them to take "1st" place by 30 seonds.
1st team came 5th. 2nd team came 63rd and 3rd 2nd team. pretty cool.
festen var mycket braa. and I got home 12 minutes after leaving it, whileOKL boys were searching for a taxi :)

Note
not healthy yet. Only left the apartment to give my SI card to Andrew at KTH to give to Emma at Hjorthagen to give to somebody else on Lidingo who will give ME the si card on saturday so I can run the relay. Apparently there is less chance of it not turning up this way. My poor baby.

Note
Monday was a planned day off. Tuesday was unplanned as a cold was coming on. Today it is here. Hopefully tomorrow or the day after I'll be better.
Listening to Irish radio today... heard the Angelus at one o'clock. The gongs reminded me of yesterday at the local library - went there just before closing time to join and borrow a couple of books, a woman walked around fifteen minutes before it closed banging a gong. What a great job! And the difference between what a bell represents...
Read "The Moon is Down" by Steinbeck this morning. Short and sweet. Norwegian integrity standing up to German invaders. Up next, correcting proofs to an article to be published and then Eating Chinese Food Naked!
In other news, bought a pigg red volvo on Monday. It's not pretty but it moves :)

orienteering race 1:45:00 [3]
DNF
Turebergs long distance
Didn't go into this race in the right frame of mind. Don't know was it the lack of sleep or trying to run fast on Thursday and Saturday combined with a lack of fitness... or just not being psychologically capable of running a long distance properly (middles are easier, just go flat out!).
Wasn't orienteering smoothly at all. Bits were ok, but not going esp fast or well. Some of the forest was pretty stony underfoot. After going two thirds of the way around I decided the car might leave without me if I kept going so I should head back...
would have been good to finish just for the sake of hurting myself.
Another reason to get a car (along with not leaving the flat early enough so I ended up getting a taxi from tcentralen to kth, doh).
Went to AQ's in the evening for romantic leftovers. Nice!
