| Warm up and cool down... after the race I felt only like sitting there and doing nothing... I was really drained. But Sandra took me for a little footing... I almost walked. |

| Masenstaffeten. Leg # 2. I started around the 11 place and came back as 2nd... sounds good, but actually I made many small mistakes and lost more than 2 minutes on the fastest runners of the day. My head and legs felt tired and it took a lot of energy to focus enough to run technically well and to run fast enough.
We finished 2nd behind Södertälje. Not bad... but the victory was in reach. |

| End of a really good training block of 3 weeks. Actually I believe this is the best, at least the biggest volume with good quality I have ever trained. I am happy to see that I am able to train more than in the past without getting injured, sick or feeling overtrained.
But I believe it is wise to take it easy now for the next 10 days until our selection races for the European Champs. |

| Night O race in the north of Stockholm.
After 8 days of really good O experiences I had quite a fall back today. After having the best time to the first control all went down... I did a 1.5min mistake to the 2nd control, than kept a good grip over myself until number 6, to number 7 my gps shows me I was about 4 meters away from the control before I decided I couldn´t possibly be at the right place... 11.5 minutes later, being totally lost trying to understand something, I came back to the very same place finding the control! This time I don´t objects when the Finns from VeVe say Swedish maps are bad ;-).
Anyway, after that I wasn´t anymore able to keep a competition speed because my mental energy totally left me and my physical energy had left me long before that. |

Tuesday Mar 25 |
| Running school 1:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| Arrived in the morning with the Boat in Stockholm (from Riga) and drove to Gnesta where we are taking advantage of the organized trainings for the Swedish champs in Autumn.
The weather is finally really nice... but there are 10 to 20 cm of snow in the forest. In retrospective it didn´t bother too much the orienteering, besides that it made the running tougher. |
| Strength workout, body we 1:00:00 [1] | |

| When we arrived in Gnesta we started the swedish training days with a session of strength training in a rundown ice hockey gym... got to keep my routine with the strength training.
On the programm: running school, core strength, a good load of jumps and squads with heavy weights. |
