30 km cycling for the week

With Wieland to and back from training

Jan's compass orienteering: Started with Patschi and at the Phi-loops ran the loops in different order. I had some difficulties with the loops and rigth after the 12. control noticed that the compass box is missing. After a while searching for the compass box decided to continue the training. It was the first time that I ran with Sophie's compass as mine has a big bubble - maybe also the last time ;).
Read carefully the control description and took the destination based on the arriving direction to the control. I managed to find two controls well with this method, but still I was relieved to see Patschi on the way to the 15.

8x200m strides

Running with Robert, Johan, Max and Marcel. Robert seemed to be glad that the group was so big on a working day, therefore he run some extra and Johan left the group before the end. Very hard for me, but I knew it will be.

15 min stretching

Starting one minute before the wild animal from Sweden. The first controls searching a good flow. Then the animal caught me and the next controls went well. I got maybe a 20 second lead before the running part on the dunes, but it wasn't enough it ran even past me. Going over my limit lead to uncontrolled orienteering and to a big mistake on fourteenth.
Controlled orienteering and running without compass works well.

1% of the Germany's population was interview for a survey. I was one of the lucky or unlucky ones, therefore couldn't join the training.

Constant speed in about three centimeter deep snow.
