Against Sarpsborg 08. Fortunately they have their 2nd div league opener tomorrow, so we met their 2nd XI for today's cup match. Nicely balanced match and very satisfying to earn a 1-1 draw. We were definitely the happier team with the result haha. Especially given we were only 11 and without our regular keeper :)
Unfortunately for us, our best 4 chances of the 1st half fell to my feet - two snap shots from half-cleared corners, that both went over the bar. A left footer that the keeper put around the post for a corner, and a right footer that hit the woodwork. Oops.

Had to wait for the match before hand to finish before we could warm up. Then they turned the sprinklers on (on the artificial turf??), so we kept having to move our warm up around the pitch to avoid being sprayed by water.
I mean, it's getting warmer, but it's not THAT warm yet!

Out in høiåsmarka for the first time in a couple of weeks. Nice day out in t-shirt and shorts even if the paths are muddy as at the moment.
Took the normal long run route, turns out there's more new logging...Was wondering at the enthusiasm of the loggers during winter, but then I realised I actually hadn't been walking or running out that way in 6+ months...so perhaps it wasn't so new. In any case, the track is a bit of a mess in parts.

Came back past Eklimoen, and was wondering why the sheepies weren't out in the sun? But just then Mr and Mrs farmer came out of the barn carrying 3 new lambies. aaaawwwww.
But being the committed athlete I am, I 100% did not stop to admire and cooo. No way. ;)

Tio Test,

Felt pretty good in teh terrain but pushed the oxygen debt too far and had a technical blow out on #6 (preceded by a minor one on #5, obviously ignored the warning sign!). Other than that, felt good, found flags.

First full match back. And far out the girls did not take it easy on me. Despite me and Mari pleading for the team to slow things down and take it a bit more relaxed, our defense and strikers had other ideas and ran us ragged in midfield!
Still, we had a good win. So it worked, I guess ;)
