| A nice bike ride with Patrick around Uppsala. Backbana ridge, then Sunnersta, and along the lake up to Skarholmen. Nice ride, good company. |

| My log is looking too pink these days. I don't like it. Was going to rollerski in the morning and then orienteer in the evening, but my butt hurt when I got up in the morning, so that canceled the orienteering, and the rain made me even less inclined than I already was to go rollerskiing. So I spun instead. Double session, first a regular-length "intensive" one and then an extra-long "medium" one. A feast of sweat and melting quads. Yeah.
Pizza and a coke afterwards hit the spot. |

| Intervals on the erg at F&S. Did 2x10min hard, with 5 min easy before, between, and after. The pace was around 1:53/500m, which felt hard. I definitely need some technique pointers. Damn good workout though - felt dead by the end. Did 10 min on the stationary bike before and after to get a warm-up/cool-down in. |

| Some strength and stretching while chatting with Sofie after rowing.
From the gym, I biked over to the stables in Kvarnbo, where another PhD student at my department, Cecilia, has a horse. My officemate Daniel and I watched Cecilia and Scarlet (the horse) jump over hurdles a bunch and then got to ride for a while. Very cool. Scarlet is an adorable and well-behaved horse, who actually obeyed commands! Got to feed her oranges afterwards. :) |

| A bike ride on some of the bigger trails in Nåsten down to Hammarskog, then back up to Norby via Lurbo and horse paths, and a loop of the Norby ski track. Cold today - after yesterday's 26C, it was down to 9C today... |

| Woke up with a hangover. Went back to sleep. Woke up again, decided to train. Took Csaba's bike and went out for a ride. Over to backbana, along the top of the ridge, through Ultuna, along Sunnersta ridge, across the river, down on the Kungshamn-Morga trails, partly along the beach, partly on the ridges, then a bit on Lunsen, back up on paved roads through Sävja and Kungsängsbron.
A nice mix of trails and roads kept me from being bored, and I found out that mountain biking on trails with roots and rocks requires a huge amount of concentration, at least for me. So it's pretty good training in that respect too.
The ride was followed by a few games of kubb outside on the grass. |
