| Morning jog. My hip is sore enough that running a 100minute race this afternoon is not wise... it is a tough decision not to participate at the WC chase start with such a good starting position. |

| Evening jog in the competition area after the World Cup race. Feeling heart broken not to have been able to start. But my hip is even aching running at an almost walking speed... it was the only right decision not to start. |

| Middle distance World Cup in Norway. I managed to run a pretty clean race and my hip didn't bother me. Orienteering felt just the way it should, like a smooth but fast ride... what a nice pay back after such a long fight with my injured hip.
Finish 4th is more than I would have hoped :-). |

| Chase start from the yesterdays middle distance race. Did less mistakes, but the ones I did where greater... I searched 1 controls 6 minutes!
unfortunately my hip was bothering me more today and I didn't feel confident going to the limit.

| Uh, I can feel I am quite tired. I have now 42 hours recovery until the middle distance World cup. This should be enough to feel fresh again. |

| As my body, especially my hip is still quite sore I decided to skip the orienteering training of the morning and went on a spinning bike in a Norwegian gym.
1h of spinning is quite a mental exercises, especially when pretty woods all around are calling. |
| Orienteering 1:05:00  8.2 km (7:56 / km) +350m 6:32 / km | |
| |
| O training in Fagervann. One of the huge forest situated just north of Oslo. The terrain was quite rough, and felt even worse because of my aching hip.
Tough, tough. I hope I will feel better during the rest of the week. |
