| After the Jukola we jumped into the plane to Oslo where the Swiss team is having a training camp in sight of the next weeks World Cup.
Feeling quite sore and stiff from the race and the traveling... a 10 minutes jog seemed just about appropriate.

| Jukola. 1st leg. Searched 30 seconds the first control, than I had everything under control and managed to get to the lead. Unfortunately I didn't understand at all the vegetation on my way to # 19 and eventhough I was at the right position I thought I was at a wrong place... I than made a 3-4 minute mistake and lost my focus... so I did two other 1-2minute mistakes until the finish. What a pitty... I am quite mad at myself.
Here you can see my gps route : Rautajärvi
But the other VeVe boys did really well and we finished 3rd... which is quite good, but I am sure more would have been possible...

| Evening jog with David from VeVe's Jukola accomodation. We are in the middle of nowhere on a hill surrounded by lakes.
After the training we went down with all the VeVe boys to the sauna situated on the lake side and enjoyed unique Finish lifestyle.
...so quiet...
...uuh, cooling down inbetween sauna. We just decided how we are going to win this year's Jukola...

| Travelled to Finland. Jogging with Jarkko on very small single trails... running feels like a game.
The jog was followed by a sauna and a superb dinner with salmon: a great Finish evening. |

Tough! I had to fight from the beginning til the end as I didn't get into the flow. Physically I permanently had to push to go fast enough and by the end I was more exhausted than usual. Technically I made too many small mistakes.
When I crossed the finish I was not happy about my performance, but in retrospective it wasn't soo bad. I finished 4th (ok, 8 minutes behind Daniel, that's a lot) and my hip didn't hurt during the effort: that is great! |
