Orienteering 57:30 [3] 7.4 km (7:46 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra 2013

Last orienteering session before Tiomila. I ran a course on Hammarskog, mass-starting with Ross and Lisa. Saw Ross a couple of times, and ended up finishing with him. Felt pretty good orienteering, but hard to work hard to get any sort of speed going. And: I saw a moose! I like moose.

Orienteering 55:00 [3]
shoes: VJ Supra 2013

Lunsen! Pre-ran a course for this weekend's Uppsala Möte. Really nice terrain, just a pleasure to run through. I am feeling more and more confident in my orienteering with every session, which is good. Speed is still dreadful, but hopefully improving.

Orienteering 1:00:00 [3]
shoes: VJ Supra 2013

Club training in Hammarskog. We did loops that were supposed to be 2-2.5km long, but were actually 3-3.75km long because of map scale issues. Oops. Took the first loop easy, then pushed a bit on the second loop. Felt pretty confident with my orienteering. The good feeling seems to be slowly coming back. In time for Tiomila? We'll see.

Running 20:00 [2]
shoes: Yellow mizunos

Running before and after the sprint.

Orienteering 15:00 [4]
shoes: Yellow mizunos

Ran a sprint course in central Uppsala. Pushed relatively hard and felt extremely rusty with sprint orienteering, plus tired from the weekend. Really fun course though!

Some map hiking and running with Alli on an open course during Kolmårdskavlen.

Running 15:00 [2]

Warmup

Orienteering race 1:38:00 [3] 11.0 km (8:55 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra 2013

Long distance race in Finspång, during the Silva League race. I did the H21 regular category, but still had a long course. Started out well, but made a beginner's mistake at the 4th control, costing 3 minutes and deflating my enthusiasm for a while. Stumbled through the next few controls, then got going again and had a good second half of the course, running alone most of the way. My fitness is pretty bad, but orienteering and running in terrain are starting to feel a bit more comfortable again.

Running 25:00 [2]

Warmup and then cooldown with Ross

Orienteering race 44:00 [4] 5.2 km (8:28 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra 2013

Kolmårdsmedeln middle distance race. I ran H21E3. Confused by contours in the beginning - the hills are so much bigger than in Uppsala! Then got into a good rhythm for most of the course until making two big mistakes in the end. Really wasn't patient enough with route selection and looking ahead. Resulted in 4 minutes being lost - way too much for a middle race.

Orienteering 45:00 [3]

Did half of an open course during Stigtomtakavlen. Ran badly, was unfocused and not into the course at all. Too bad, because the terrain was beautiful!

Running 30:00 [2]
shoes: Yellow mizunos

Running with drills and some strength exercises with Linné.

T.rex training 15:00 [1]

Core strength that has replaced rockgympa in the spring.

Innebandy 25:00 [3]

Three on three innebandy after rockgympa. The last game was 2 on 3: Ross and I were the two. Lots of running around and good fun.

Running 12:00 [2] 2.0 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra 2013

Warm-up

Orienteering race 1:05:19 [4] 9.1 km (7:11 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra 2013

Rånässtafetten, a 5-leg relay east of Uppsala. I ran the last leg for Linné's 4th team. We stayed pretty even with the 3rd team for the first three legs, but our fourth runner had some trouble, and so I went out in the catch-up mass start, along with ten other stragglers.

I had a decent run, given my current shape and long break from orienteering. I felt a little stronger in terrain than the day before, and my orienteering was ok, though I made a couple of costly mistakes and was sloppy with direction out of the control a couple of times. Probably about 5 minutes lost in total.

I finished 3rd in the mass start, chasing down and passing one guy over the last three controls. This felt like progress from yesterday, but still such a long way to go until I am in decent shape. One day at a time!

We finished 43rd, I was 47th on the leg.

Running 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra 2013

Warmup, mostly with Mandus

Orienteering race 43:19 [4] 5.6 km (7:44 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra 2013

Lännasprinten middle distance race. This was my first real O-race since O-Ringen!

I was excited and nervous to race again, and this was reflected in the way I ran at the beginning of the course, with a lot of zig-zagging and impatience. I calmed down a bit as the course went on, but still mostly orienteered by running and then stopping to look at the map. Needless to say, my speed was pretty atrocious too.

Ended up 57th out of 73, well behind Ross who continues to race well: http://obasen.orientering.se/winsplits/online/sv/d...
