Running with Judith in Zimmerwald

Sprint in Brugg, last sprint with the swedes. Ran quite good but was unable to push it into zone 5, by legs was tired and my body didn't want to push. Ran any way as fast as I managed, and ran technically really good except of on place where I had to stop because I hadn't got the overview. Got the 2nd best time after Tove Alexandersson (15:57) and beated Lena Eliasson with one sec. But we where all disqualified after a mispunsh at the second last control (the swedes had put out some extra controls and this one was put 2-3meters away from the correct control.)

Knock out sprint with the swedes in Zürich city. Won my quarter final after leading the heat all the way. Won my semi final clearly after all the others had made different mistakes. In the final I leaded until the 6th control, here Tove Alexandersson and Beata Falk passed me and pushed the tempo up the hill to the 7th control. I started to be pretty tired and had to give some important meters. This meters costed me the chance to win the final because it was just two controls left and Tove made no mistakes infront. Therefore 3rd.

Two times sprints in Aarau, quite tired after the mornings knock out sprint, so took it a bit easy this training. But challanging and tricky sprint.

3 times sprint intervals, ran them controlled and made almost no mistakes, some route choices I lost 5 or 10 sec, but all in all a really good training.

Three times heat sprint intervals. Starting together with Lena Eliasson, Tove Alexandersson and Michaela Hallqvist having forked loops and the first woman to the finnish line as winner for each interval. On the first one I did a mistake to the first control together with Lena and Michaela, and Tove got her back free. So Tove won, Lena 2n, me 3rd, Michaela 4th. On the second interval I ran quite good and could sprint in as 2nd after Lena and before Tove and Michaela. The third and last interval we where all together before the forking started, the first loop I saw Tove finnishing 10 meters infront of me, making a stupid mistake to my last forked control Tove got 10 more meters out of the forking and Lena was even 20 m infrom of Tove. Running as fast as I could I still had no chance to close the gap when Lena and Tove made no mistakes. Therefor 3rd. Really funny training, and also funny to be matched against Tove and Lena which is normally much better than me.
