O-festivalen relay for Michals club Oppsal. Ended up running first leg, but was feeling rather buggered and got boxed in at the start, found a nice group that wasn't going too fast and stuck with them for a bit, was bloody hot again about 32 degrees, so had a drink at all 4 water stations on the road on 1 leg. Lost the pack when I had the longer split in the green shit, then made a mistake not long after. Cruised most of the way back with some pains all over my legs.

Jog back with Christain, after I couldn't devise a way of fixing my shoe. Went for a swim on the way as well, since it was 32 degrees but I probably should have taken my shoes off first.

Event: O festivalen (WCup 3&4)
 

I was going so fast my brain couldn't keep up

I can account for at least 10 mins when I was not going in a direction towards the controls

Some o training early in the morning with Todd and Marius. Terrain was super heavy with lots of marsh, blueberries and knee high shrubs. Feeling a bit poked, and really struggled to run. Was a compass exercise and did about half before cutting bits off and coming back. Felt way harder than what my HR was showing. Now I'll relax and recover in the Norwegian sun, oh yeah.

Morning (midday) session, easy orienteering run from Kenneths, doing the last part of the Sun long course backwards.

Running from Kenneths to the park for Halden intervals and back again, with Todd, Marius and Emil. 21 mins there (including a loop of the interval), 17 mins back mainly on roads.

Intervals, most were doing 5 on 2 off, I wanted slightly longer rest (because of races this weekend) so did 4 on 3 off. The loop(s) were around a park and the oldest building (estate) in Halden, so mostly on dirt with a bit of concrete and gravel, with some slight undulation. For Emil it was a loop of the park, a loop of the buildings and another loop of the park to make it back to the start right on 5 mins, he is pretty quick. I was making it about half way down the 2nd loop of the park, making roughly 1100m. Todd took off like a cat on a hot tin roof, and was in front for about 45 sec before Emil had enough of his games and took over, was pretty funny to watch on the first one as it looked like Todd was a complete muppet, but he held a pretty good pace and didn't drop back much, and did it on each one. I found a good pacer and kept on his shoulder for my 4 reps. Feeling almost comfortable the entire time and getting to basically the same spot each time. Good to get the HR up properly and feel good for it. Max and average were just a bout the same on each, 192/184, also kept a good jog up in between as well.

Easy run from Kenneths late in the day, mainly on paths and tracks. Felling quite good but legs are a bit battered, left one is covered in bruises, right has a couple on the shin, why is my left so hammered?
