Getting a little afraid that will I get fit for next weekend...

Running warm up/down 40:00 [1] 4.0 km (10:00 / km)
(sick) shoes: Jalas S4

Orienteering race 38:24 [3] *** 5.1 km (7:32 / km)
(sick) shoes: Jalas S4

It came close that I would've called it quits just before #1. First leg was pretty much physical and my condition didn't like it. Terrain seemed so good that I decided to continue.
Eventhough I was more concentrated to find good lingonberry places, technically it went well. Maybe altogether 1-2min of mistake, which is practically nothing on my standards. But physically it was a disaster. Mikael Salo passed me already on 2nd leg and I couldn't keep up with him at all. He was actually the only one I saw in the forest so again a 99% own performance, like was the last good performance (Kapinarastit).
So in a way it was a confusing race. On the other hand I'm happy that technically I made a splendid run again but also a bit bummed cause I know I could've done a lot better if I would've been healthy. But would I had found those controls so well if I would've ran faster is another story.

Yökuppi LIVE is on at ~20:30 (19:30 CET). It's again individual start so not sure when I'm in the forest. At least three guys should have the equipment this time.
I'm feeling a bit under the weather right now. Won't expect a great physical day.

Running warm up/down 40:00 [1] 6.0 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel DS Trainer XIII

Running 3:14 [5] 1.0 km (3:14 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel DS Trainer XIII

I tried 1km under 3min and failed miserably. On 900m I checked the clock and realised that even Bolt wouldn't make it and took the foot off the gas. Guess I'm a bit ill.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: Jalas S4

Orienteering race (night-o) 1:08:15 [3] *** 6.3 km (10:50 / km)
shoes: Jalas S4

Yökuppi in Pajulahti.
It was close that I would've discontinued the soon 2 years lasting yökuppi/korttelikuppi-chain. Finland's national squad game was on, I'm a bit ill and so on... But just because of that chain, I had to go.
Again it started all wrong. I couldn't get the LIVE-gadgets working eventhough I booted them 3 times. I was the last one to start for the A-route eventhough in some point I was in front of Assu and such in the line. They might've given me some assistance in the forest... I was totally lost with the paths on that map. On several legs I went over quite a few paths and also thought I was running some path but wasn't. Otherwise it was pretty good, excluding the physical wellbeing. There was quite a lot of walking involved.

Points (had to put the link since I'm on 3rd position, but three points starting with 4, I won't be there for long)

A little bit sore throat in the morning. I took every possible precaution I know and during the afternoon I'm OK. We'll see where it's going...
