Event: JWOC Training
 

Warm up for day 5, the case start. I was feeling pretty focused today.

A great race for me. I was with other runners for about half of the race. I had great success hitting the control when near the circle. It really saved me a lot of time. I also felt like I really was able to simplify the map and run fast where I needed to and also run slower when necessary. Maybe 3:30 in errors total. A great run to cap off a great training camp in Karlstad.

Warm up for day 4.

In all honesty, I should have won today. I was about 35 seconds back on the lead, but I was distracted a couple of times by other runners, when I was headed right to the control. I didn't loose much time, but I still should have the confidence to know when I am in the right spot and other people are not. The terrain was a mix of typical swedish bedrock dominated terrain and sand terrain. Quite fun and fast. A great time!

Running before the 3rd day of the MINI 5 Day. I had a 3.2k sprint course. felt pretty focused before the race, something that I hadn't been focused on during the past couple of days.

Great run until a tough control in the flat without any features nearby. I knew it was hard, and that I needed to slow down, but I didn't. Next time I will slow down for sure.

Running to the start of day 2 MINI 5 days.

Course 6 at the MINI 5 days. I had a pretty good run, except for a couple of bobbles due to a lack of confidence in myself + I was a bit unsure about the mapping style in the begining.
