3-club training in Nävekvarn. Ran around the first part of the course, because it was really ugly on clear cuts and dark green marshes, and started with control 4 in flat-ish terrain. Control 10 to 16 was control picking on a fantastic ridge with open hilltops and big boulders, then skipped the green stuff again and took the last few controls. Knee felt good again. Most snow gone.

Night-O cup #6 in 20 cm powder at Ryssbergen. Tried to follow Peter Öberg's pace towards the first control, but then towards the second I was suffering and had to drop down in the train a bit. Out in the first butterfly I just couldn't keep Henrik's pace in the deep snow, so on the second butterfly I was completely alone. Towards 9 the tracks in the snow went off in different directions and I lost 2 min in the flat indistinct area. Towards 10 I started to feel some pain in the back/inside of the left knee and I figured it was too much heavy knee lifting in the snow. Joined back with Per Öberg at the hub at 11, after I stopped to stretch a bit, and then we missed 12 together. I jogged home from there. It had warmed up to -2, but it was windy as warmer air was coming in. +5 next morning and melting.

Time to rest a bit. Outside of the left knee has been stiff and sore for three weeks and now also sore behind on the inside.

From home to Ekensberg for some off-trail running in 15 to 20 cm of powder. It was quite cold for here at -11 C.

To Ekensberg before lunch. Stayed mostly on the trails with 5 to 10 cm of powder on the ground. Very pretty in the forest. Looks like this layer might stay for a week this time...

3-club training at Nynäs. Really nice terrain on the hilltops but a bit rough otherwise. Some controls went well, some others slightly iffy. Per Ek started just behind and we saw each other here and there, taking different routes but meeting up at the controls. Map feels kind of old. Contours not the best in the details and veg getting outdated.

Warm-up.

Night-O cup #5. Fast and flat. Lots of fast guys this time and was able to keep the pace fairly comfortably. Felt strong. No icy marshes on this map!
