The long journey home. Not having such full on races as expected means next week should have some hard training instead of just recovery before sprint tc. I have a bashed knee from interhut race home from sjätte but otherwise not so tired i think. Hopefully good to get to the track (Ross?)

Started really well on the D21E motorway, worth getting out just for the great feeling i got until i thought id see that big hill to #4 and didnt, downhill spiral ensued after that... Pleased to feel strong again anyway, loved the forest apart from the manky rocky bits. Lesson from the week: prepare for races if you want to perform. No shit sherlock. On to woc.

O-ringen e4. Hope i've turned a corner now, more of a cruise than full effort but at least didnt feel like i was gonna flake out. Enjoyed it more too, still feeling like im not reading the terrain v well so lots of coming in above the controls and still some misses and hesitations. Smaller ankle roll running down the ski slope at the end.

Sprint race at Lindvallen. Actually quite an iffy race from me, i was having some problems taking it seriously enough starting with seeing UMA around #3, i was a bit careless. So it was fine for today but im glad theres a sprint camp ahead of WOC. Not feeling so quick but it probably wouldnt have helped me much to go faster.

Made it to the finish today!! Wondered how it would go when the pressure was completely off, to try to get some answer about whats going on. I think i had a bit better speed but got so so tired and empty, a bit lightheaded too, so a little worried. Plus i ended up halfway to norway on #2. Finding the open a bit boring but the slope are a nice challenge, still trying to get used to the map and features there.

Morning jog. We live next to the arena today so had a look at stuff, collect race nr etc. Feeling keen to get going after 3 days mostly resting

Orienteering - hard 25:00 [4]
shoes: Inov-8 Oroc 280 March 2016

So that was how long my O-ringen lasted. I felt really empty and didnt handle the (new) terrain very well, but most of all i couldnt find the enjoyment or motivation to keep fighting. Not sure whats going on but it might play a part that ive been trying to lose weight for racing...

11 hours at home, most of them sleeping. Squeezed in a nice pre breakfast. Beautiful day, had to call home to grab a t shirt before heading to the shop at the end. Nearly time to roadtrip up to sälen now :-D
