Pure pleasure session. Last training in Sweden before flying back to Vancouver. Really nice terrain close to my old orienteering friend Masse's place in Stockholm. We only had one map, so took turn leading three controls at the time. Amazing open pine forest with classic Swedish detailed small hills and frozen marshes.

C • only one map 1

A short run in a Nyköping forest. -6 degrees and light snow fall.

Warm-up/cool-down.

Ran the district championship sprint course from back in October. A mix of forest and hospital campus. Very fun course actually! Cold, sunshine and an inch of snow on the ground made it a bit slippery. There was a new construction area blocking the way to the 7th control and I probably lost 45 seconds on running around it. Apart from the construction I made only one mistake at an underground passage where I ran over it first, losing about 15 seconds. The winner back in October had 14:22 and I could have been maybe within 60 seconds of that without the new construction and snow on the ground.

C • Impressive only 30 sec behind.... 4

Ran a middle distance style course entirely in the forest part of the sprint map. A bit green and slow terrain actually and I didn't push too hard.
