Event: Lännasprinten, Middle Distance
 

To the start, then back to the clear station that I missed on the way out and back to the start again.

Lännasprinten on a wonderful, sunny day - unbelievable with +23C in early April!
A decent race, but without the right flow in my orienteering. Terrain reasonably nice and open, but in quite a few places affected by remains from logging left on the ground.
Lost some time on # 1, coming from above and staying high thinking the control would be placed higher on the hill-side. Birgit had the same first control and beat me by 17s, so maybe I lost 45 seconds there. To # 6 I left the previous control on a slightly wrong bearing and kept veering to the right. Couldn´t quite get my mapreading together and had to slow down for a while until I relocated about halfway through the leg (1.30). Two very small mistakes/hesitations on # 7 & 8.

H55 - Splits

Listened to the online speaker from Swedish Night O Championships.

Good results by Stora Tuna runners:
D21: Emma E, GOLD
H18: Rassmus A, SILVER and Erik B, 13th
D20: Anastasiia, 12th
D18: Tove A, 12th
H21: not finished yet, but Pavlo and Rikard probably in the 15-20th place range...

Update: Rikard, 10th after a strong finish and Pavlo 21st. Good night!

Orienteering with Maria - the first O training of the season for her, although she has already competed twice. She was doing quite well on a not so easy HD14-course - running fast enough for me to put some effort into following in places...
Anders had a good run on a longer course, beating all the other boys, only one minute behind two national team D21´s (Lena E, Anna M).

Warm-up before intervals and running back to the club-house after.

C • Photo Contest 2

TNT from the club-house in Skräddarbacken.
O intervals with the club elite runners (as always trailing and doing most of it alone). Decent pace in the beginning (the first three) and a few in the middle, but mostly not really 'interval pace'. It was a bit hard to keep the speed up and read the map at the same time into non-existent controls (no flags).
A total of nine intervals of appr. 450 m each where each interval included two controls. About half were OK for interval pace at pulse level 4 and the rest at level 3.

Very slow jog or walk between intervals.

Went to Stockholm (Jakobsberg) after the meet in Västerås to celebrate my sister´s 60th birthday.
Spent Saturday night and most of Sunday with relatives before going home on Sunday night.
