Training Log Archive: Hirppa

In a way I wanted to have a rest day just because the day-light-orienteering-season is over but then again there aren't that many long bars there ↑. So a quick run before watching yet another Nieminen defeat from Stockholm's Kungliga Tennishallen.

Event: Halikko-viesti
 

Halikko-viesti 2011, Salo. 2nd team, leg 5C.
Went pretty well. At least better than wednesday (btw. heard about that performance from quite a few directions... glad I could make people's lifes more fun).
The last leg that had three guys, and I was the last one. I left few minutes behind Matikka. Went to wrong forking to #1 (didn't follow anyone though) but then got the hold of it. Solid run to #11 where 3-4 guys were searching the cp too early. I had a feeling it would be further away but one guy looked like he found it. He didn't. I saw the only two stones around there and guided all of them to the cp. Rest of the way went again well. Though I made a mistake to last control...

Repaired my shoes with some sort of black "super glue" that we use at work (our buses stay in one piece with this glue) and shapened the studs. Ready for Halikko.

An evening in the Capital city.

Yesterday, for the second time in my orienteering career, my shoes were growing hay.

Yökuppi 11, Rahametsä.
One of those days... I was alone 90% of the time. While making the grand - 20min - mistake I got so cold that I almost quit. But if Assu went through his Finnish night champ course, I had to do it also.
I had my light on half power cause I didn't have time to charge it. Few minutes after I got to finish, it died.

Edit.
It has never taken me so long to put my gps-track to RG but here it is.

Left lower back has been a little sore for weeks and yesterday's run made it worse.

First monday run this season with Assu and sulttaani (only to the Bear's street). SC-Tapanila-Hakalaukunmäki-Messilä field-Tapanila-SC.

We talked with Assu that should we go in December to taste if the Trappist beers taste any different than two years ago.
