Same contour only course i did earlier in the week. did it a lot better today, still need to work on my compass work.

long run around uppsala, a few laps of the eriksberg forest then down to the hill (yep there is a hill in uppsala) down near the river. average weather cold and raining the whole way. pretty dead now

pretty knackered today so went out for an easy jog.. plenty of good scandinavian scenery out there today though so it ended up being a bit longer than planned.
PS. the morning jog is officially dead, killed by the (un)professorial athletes' hours i have been keeping

Smalands Skavlen training with linne. Mass Start relay training. Great terrain.
two loops. Pretty dark by the second half of the second loop.
I just focussed on orienteering cleanly and not pushing too hard. did it pretty well on the first loop, route choice error to 5 and directional error out of five were my only problems on the first loop.
First loop:

the second loop wasnt so good but this was mostly caused by the darkness. 2 min error on two was my fault, went to the wrong feature. but the big error on 8 was mostly caused by not being able to see the flag in the dark (they are about the size of the ones you hang from your rear view mirror and i didnt have a torch) but as i wasnt 100% confident of where i was i kept looking for about 5 mins. was also too far to the left on 11 but it was too dark to bother searching for it
second loop

made my own contour only training session on the map across the road. the map is flat as a pancake and covered in tracks normally. removing them made it bloody difficult. i struggled as you can see.. im going to keep doing this course until i nail it

C • Contours 2

Evening jog around the trails

hit job application number 69 today

C • That's a fair effort. Hang ... 9

intervals with the linne boys and girls. did 1/2/3/4/5/4/3/2/1 min intervals with 1min recoveries (jogging slowly) in between the 1/2/3 mins and 2 min recoveries after the 4/5 min efforts. solid group of 4 of us pushing each other along at the front which made for a great hit out (mats, david and henrik). cracker session. reminded me of the tuesday night lake sessions back at home with the boys. more of this.

still claiming this one as a morning jog even though it didnt get going until 12.20.. got a phone call from tommy Q at 11.55 as i was about to leave the house so i had to create a new rule that allowed the morning jog to happen in the afternoon if it was a phone call from the coach that prevented it from happening in the morning. pheww. bullet dodged

to the gym and back with a bit extra

gym work with the linne group
