Swiss O week - day 2
This was the steep day. We took a gondola to the assembly area, then climbed 200m down to the start, then another 100 or so to the first control. I started ok, but made a poor choice to #4, coming to the control from below and having to climb a very steep slope up. Then more trouble at 6, where I punched a control on the same feature (code 56) about 60 meters from mine (code 55) and ran to 7. I got to 7, and thought to myself: this was shorter than I thought. Weird. Ran back to the right control this time, but lost a good 3 minutes and got pretty frustrated. A few controls later, the climbing started. Pretty much straight up for two long legs. Very steep, only walking. Was surprised that I remembered how to run once the course flattened out again. Did the last few controls well, but still too many mistakes. Ended up 34th, 17 minutes back. Not good.

Swiss O week - day 1
We started with a few controls in a super detailed area, with the map blown up to 1:5000. That was really fun. Then the fun stopped and the brutal climbing began. Very steep and hot. I didnt make big mistakes except for a minute on 6 and 3 minutes on a bad route choice to 15. A couple of 15-30 second mistakes in the beginning, but otherwise just slow.
Ended up 21st in HAL, 11 minutes behind first. Ok run, but too weak on the hills.

Event: Swiss O Week
Running 10:00 [2] 1.67 mi (6:00 / mi)
shoes: Fall 2009 VJ Falcons
Warmup
Orienteering race 27:54 [5] 3.7 km (7:32 / km)
shoes: Fall 2009 VJ Falcons
Swiss O week. Prologue.
Since I wasnt running elite, I ran the prologue afterwards , with everyobe else who wanted to pay for an extra race. We were started in waves, about 50 people each. It was mostly veterans and kids, so I ended up by myself after one fast Swedish guy ran away. Great terrain - super technical, but still of sprint character, with 1:5000 scale and 32 controls over 3.7km. Had a good run and was third of all the non-elites who ran this as a race, but would have been far back in actual elite.

An early morning very jet-lagged run on Nåsten from KG. Legs felt extremely heavy, resulting in two faceplants along the way, but only my ego was bruised. Please to get the run in during my 12-hour visit to Sweden.

Running 44:16 4.5 mi (9:50 / mi)
shoes: Red Asics 2011
Easy run around Lake Wintergreen with Becky and Rob after walking, feeding, and pooping the TigerDogs. They were cute. I would much like to have my own TigerDogs some day.
At the end of the run we did two tempo intervals. I chased Becky on the second one, but could not catch her, for she was speedy.
