Diez Vista loop from Sasamat Lk again. This time with Louise. Very warm temps, but the heavy rain overnight made rivers of many of the trails. Felt sluggish and kind of hung over, probably because I stayed up and played Paradroid until 2 am... this was after reading Andrew Braybrook's fascinating diary on how he created the game back in the 80's. I must have played this game a lot when I was younger, because I remembered every little detail and got a huge high-score on the first try!

Easy run around trails in PS to check locations for Andrea's score-O next weekend.

Warm-up. Checking the model map.

Test run of a version of the WRE course. Will tweak it a bit!

WET at Cates Park. Really fun Farsta loops by Andrea. Not the smoothest of runs for me. My light was fading right from the start and on the way to the 3rd control took an aggressive fall, but got lucky and did not break a finger or anything ;) After that, no chance to keep up to Thomas and settled in with Louise and Nate to get some help from their lights. After the loops, took a minute to switch to Andrea's headlamp and then had to work hard to catch up to Louise and Nate. Came to the last exchange together with Nate, and Louise was slightly behind. Nate went too much to the left to the first control on the last loop and I got a gap that I kept to the end, even though Louise was threatening close behind.

Warm-up/cool-down. Picking up flags after.

Short run in the snowfall, while the bread was baking in the oven...;) Climbed up to the 450 m mark of the Baden Powell, where I turned around after 19 min. Felt good.
