Kolmarskavlen relay.
I ran the 5.8km fourth leg (of 5) on the second team. I slept well and the legs are coming back to me today. They're still not superb though but i wasn't as bad off as yesterday. My back got quite sore (story of 2010 and my lack of strength training) because i was going hard and haven't been doing well at the gym recently. I would have liked once a week for the last 3 weeks but i think i've managed only once or twice in total.
Again my navigation was decent so i'm satisfied that i'm doing my best in that department. If i had blown a race this spring it wouldn't be good for making the first team for Tiomila. There are alot of guys this year in Jarla. But Tuesday this week is my last chance to show form because it's sprint SM next weekend and then the JK (instead of elitserien) the weekend after. Neither of which will help me towards Tiomila selection.

Body feels good. Probably a little below 100% but things are picking up which is fantastic.

4.9km Kolmars middle distance race in elite 2.
I wasn't able to push at all but not so sick that i wouldn't run the course fast. Did a decent enough race considering. And i whooped Ondrej Pijak who is living and training with Tisaren OK.
It wasn't intensity 5 because i wasn't fit but i went as fast as i could and definately felt it in the evening.

Didn't work yesterday. Came in to work today to see how i get on. Hopefully things magically pick up because i have a middle tomorrow and relay on sunday. God damn you you delicious Guinness bastards from Dublin last weekend!

Legs were wobbly, lungs had crap in them.
Ran a third in terrain.
With some luck i might be somewhat decent on sunday but tomorrow will be messy.

...kablamo!

KTH sprintO training race. Not the most fluid technically, not a nightmare by any means, just meh..
Worked a few hours from home today because i was a little sick this morning, something that was creeping in since the weekend. Thought i was getting over it by the evening time that i could run this KTH sprint between Järfalla, Järla and Lidingö until...

Club night champs. I ran the first few controls and then came back. Practised the start of a race and first few legs. Not focusing on night this year and i have 3 other fast sessions ahead this week that i want to open up on.

Took a siesta after lunch.

Worked late on tonight. I'm tired from that and the traveling. Not the brightest idea traveling to Dublin for 24hours but my two friends are moving to Australia and i wanted to see them before and knew it would tire me.
