with Mike to Trönninge. Fika and going through stuff with my family at my grandma's house. Then a different route back to my parents, where dad had cooked a nice meatball dinner. After that we didn't feel like getting on the bikes in the cold wind again so mom gave us a lift home.

Event: SSM/Rigordubbeln
 

Warm up. This was an afternoon event and I had registered late so I started first, at 12:37. We had a nice morning at home, had breakfast outside in the sun. I was not prepared for the cold front that hit inland right when I was about to start.

In short sleeve nylon I headed out on my course as it started dime size hailing / sleeting and there was thunder. Nobody else in the woods. At some controls I had to scrape off a layer of sleet to be able to read the number.
I think it was the most extreme conditions I've ever orienteered in, partly while I was so unprepared for it.
Fun course but I couldn't really enjoy it. After about half the course I couldn't feel my hands and feet, couldn't set the compass.
Had a hard time warming up after my race and the showers were cold. But then the weather turned nice and sunny again so most people got to start out dry..

I subbed.

One month to go!

Intervals in the rain with Jossan & Elin.
8 x 2 (1)

Jog to the start with Elin. My legs were aching from yesterday's box class.

Control pick course at Sjögärde. Lots of people out in the woods. I wasn't too focused. Was caught by Daniel who was shadowed by Magnus by 12, kept them slightly behind me until 14, then I hung them till 17 and then I had to tie my shoe laces.
