bike 1:00 [3]

It's such a shame being injured in weather like this.

One hour of indoor torture with maps of Hvåla (NOR), Bere Island (Bere Island) and Bromma-Vallingby lond distance from August last.

Did lots of maths yesterday and today :)

Note

rest day

rt calf very tight, so tried rolling on a wine bottle and then tieing the ball of my foot to above my knee with an elastic band so it doesn't heal tight... home experiments :)

left knee still sore, rt ft still sore... selected for Finland... I'll hobble around.

Note

I was about to switch off the lights last night when I noticed a bird-woman flying over my bed with her breasts uncovered. I hesitated, then turned off the lights.

running 45:00 [3]

From Andrew's to Trolldalen (31) and from Trolldalen around a loop and then to Sacka for food and bag-stuffing.

running intervals 23:00 [4]

Forest intervals with IFKL. Mostly good runnability, A couple of small hills, a marsh and a few twists to make it interesting.

Nice training. I only ran five of them (1km each, 1 min recovery) as my knee was giving out, right foot a bit sore too. No point overdoing it a week before IOC...

kth hallen
25 mins, then stretching, then another 10.

to andrew's for a dinner and a wee game of carcassonne afterwards. 1-1, he won by one point in the first game, the second game was a little less balanced :)

orienteering race 1:48:30 [4] ***** 16.1 km (6:44 / km)
ahr:177 max:192 37c

TIOMILA

Äkataboden

IFK Lidingö 3
125th

Five years after my last outing in 2004 (IFKL 4), I was running last leg again. The race went quite well, probably only lost five minutes and was able to keep running. When I analyse the race I'll find another couple of minutes I'll have lost somewhere. As belied by my AHR, I wasn't racing particularly hard. Running ten minutes faster shouldn't be difficult. Second team last leg runner ran 96. Wingsted ran 77, sub 5 min/km!!

Garmin distance ran: 17.56km

Quite pleased with my race. Ran less than ten controls in company. Before Christmas I couldn't concentrate for more than 40 minutes. In Pataias I did 16km in just under 2hrs, but in runnable (if a little more hilly) terrain, and suffered immensely from the end of the first hour. So training without sickness/injury for 8 weeks in a row appears to pay dividends! Knee is sore after, unsurprisingly. Must make sure it doesn't stay upset.

Place 125 (started in 134th), about 133rd fastest on the full last leg. Ruairi S had an excellent run, ten minutes faster and 60odd on the leg!
