Sunday Feb 25

100% trails and roads 40:00 [1]6.5 km (6:09 / km) +140m 5:33 / km
ahr:113 shoes: Saucony Trigon 4 Ride
Nice Sunday jog with Sandra... in pouring rain/slash snow.
I just received a new toy today. The Polar RS 800. Now I can log precisely my distance :-). Actually, it is a really nice toy. I am surprised by the accuracy of the "distance meter".

Saturday Feb 24

50% off trails, 50% road 1:00:00 [2]10 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Saucony Trigon 4 Ride
Warm up and picking up controls of the relay.
Orienteering race 25:00 [5]6.2 km (4:02 / km)
shoes: VJ Panther with dobbs
Last training of the Swiss training camp in Portugal
Training type: 2 times 12minutes relay exercises. We first did a 3km course mass start, after a rest we started again on a 3km loop with some gaps.
This training camp has been good to me. I came with sore legs, an ankle which I didn't trust and a shaky technical ability. Day after day, eventhough we trained a lot, my legs felt better and my technique felt more secure. At today's training I felt the best (with yesterdays long distance training) since the beginning of the week.
I am happy that I am over the trouble I have been fighting since I came back from the US.

Friday Feb 23

Orienteering 42:00 [1]7 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: Saucony Trigon 4 Ride
Training type: technical highest level
The coaches took the greenest, flatest and most diffuse part of the coastal terrain for this training. Great practice!

10 minutes of warm up and cool down included. Very much necessary as my legs are quite dead.
Orienteering 1:45:00 [2]20 km (5:15 / km)
shoes: VJ Intergrator 5
Training type: long distance training, with a technical demanding start and ending.
After having really sore legs in the morning I felt now really good. I was also pretty happy with my orienteering (maybe my expectations are not anymore as high after yesterdays middle distance :-))
Simply a great training!!!

Maps: 1st Palheirao, 2nd Cantanhede 3rd Praia de Mira

10minutes of warm up included.

Thursday Feb 22

25% off road, 75% road 35:00 [2]7 km (5:00 / km)

Warm up for the middle distance race of the training camp.
Orienteering race 49:00 [5]7 km (7:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Panther with dobbs
Training type: Middle distance race from the Swiss team.
As I felt more and more confident in this coastal terrain, I told myself to go all out at this race... it turned out like it usual turns out when I tell myself this in a technical terrain... in a catastrophe. Made over 15 minutes of mistakes, unbelievable!
Name of the map: Palheirao/dunas da Tocha
The terrain was perfect... pretty good run ability, but often bad sight and diffuse landscape.

Did a couple of mistakes but had a smile on my face from the moment I ran to my 1st control til the finish... so exciting it was to run in this terrain.
In addition to the great terrain my pain free legs and ankle contributed to my euphoria.
