Orienteering - hard race 47:19 [5]
shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Venla first leg. Loved this! Not a clean run, and lost a further 1.30 (LOTS of places!) from shoulder coming out of joint not once but twice, first from falling over and then trying to punch at the penultimate control, which only had two punches, it was crazy. Legs felt good today, and running with the leaders for some (didnt realise at the time though, there were so many people in the forest). First time running a first leg at something really big. I think with a bit of practice it could really be my thing. :-D

Need to get shoulder sorted out though even if it does mean two months off running.

Running - easy 22:00 [1]
shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide (Dec 10

Morning jog. Sensible reason: have already run this morning's training. Real reason: woke up early and still pissed off about yesterday, to chill out a bit clear my head. Did feel better afterwards, but got chased by a dog which was scary. Shorter than i thought, hard to tell how long i'd been out!

S&C (core ) 15:00 [1]

Jukola training. not v much, have been here before so no need really. but nice to do a little something, on a map where there were at least some controls i hadnt been to before and others i came to from a different direction or re-ran cos i had missed them last time. nice, a little bit hesitant sometimes but no big problems :-)

NORT 1. Thought i had my nerves controlled well, but my legs still felt empty, not all bouncy and light like yesterday! Maybe it was just a feeling but either way was slooowww and couldnt keep up with other people in the forest. Managed to not make it a complete disaster like sometimes this spring, and managed to keep my head in it to the end. Cant remember the course v much but made some misses and bananas. Lots to learn, frustrating but liked the challenge today.
...
watched GPS. Painful. Did so many things wrong!

Orienteering - easy 32:00 [2]
shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Time approx (watch still in Mora somewhere, so not sure how long im taking for anything just now)
More forest on an enlarged 1:10000 map. Went sooo well this morning on the shorter legs, really confident and clean. Not running so fast but feeling full of energy from drinking coffee all morning :-) A bit unsure on the longer legs with route choices but i dont think there will be room for any long legs tomorrow so not such a big problem.

model map at Porvoo. V fast, easy to run faster than you can stay in control and think too much about the unimportant things instead of the features you really need. So looking forwards to getting out and doing some tricky orienteering tomorrow :-)

Orienteering - easy 40:00 [2]
shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Near Porvoo, in a forest but on a 1:5000 map, seemed steep with 5m contours. Jogging round and trying to see how best to approach the terrain. Sometimes hard to pick out the best details to use (loads of detail on map) but pleased with how it went, and more training tomorrow to get more used to it :-)

Still not feeling too fresh after a busy morning moving out of Uppsala and afternoon travelling. Time for a good nights sleep!
