travel day, knee bad

Some warm up, trying to find a balance but knee not ok before starting

Long final B at Grib Skov, well planned proper classic race with lots of choice and challenge, hot day and late start . Not sure whether to run or not so decided to start and then not sure whether to continue. Ran a couple of legs ok but concentration poor and result worse. Probably should have dropped out.

Model race, jogged round. Features very distinct but some brashings

Good walk and then warm up.

Middle final B. Very early start only a handful of runners in front, short legs with compass at start and lack of tracks and elephants were a disadvantage but did not think about knee gave it 100% and spiked all the controls except 13 where I lost 90-120 secs . A good run despite early start but just missed out on A final, shame about 13 where I got to attack point but did not see flag

Qualifier, early start in my heat which did not help. Not a terrible run but lost 2 mins at 3 and again stupidly another 2 mins at the easy 13, also not particularly clean on a couple of others. It turns out that my heat was also stacked so 29th where as this time would have placed me 10+ higher in the others. Could perhaps have done 49 mins but that would have been a very good day at the office. Pushed very hard over the last few, e.g. fastest split on run in, which may have caused 13' s error

After the run knee was painful

Model race

Good warm up

Sprint final in Copenhagan. Lost time 30-40 secs at no 1 and also no 4, not expecting very complicated start so missed turn for no 1 and that no 4 was on other side of hedge, rest went pretty well.
