11 AM
Skiing 3:12:17 [2] 36.21 km (5:19 / km) +946m 4:42 / km
Really nice long ski in the Krknose mountains from the cabin with Bara and Martin. Skiing in the Czech mountains is different from Sweden - the climbs and descents are longer, steeper and, in some ways, more fun. The snow wasn't great where we started, but got better and better as we climbed and was really good for the furthest portion of the ski.
The evening involved Alli and me - the rookies in the cabin - getting tossed in the well outside the cabin in an initiation rite.

Classic skiing in Harsa: Blacksås loop plus a loop around the lake. Very windy, so much so that tracks were completely obliterated in most open parts of the Blacksås loop.

Skiing 48:00 [3]
Snuck out between brunch and second brunch for a 10km skate loop at Skyttis. Windy and snowy today and not a lot of people out there. A very pretty ski. Now time for Christmas festivities (which in Sweden means watching Donald Duck cartoons.) Happy holidays to everyone!

Skiing 1:54:20 [2] 25.27 km (4:32 / km) +289m 4:17 / km
A longer classic ski at Skyttis in Örnsköldsvik. I did 2x10km loop and 1x5km loop. It was really nice to get out for a long ski in a beautiful place and clear my mind a bit. Really enjoyable ski on very nice tracks.

Skate skiing at Södra Berget in Sundsvall on the drive up to Örnsköldsvik. We picked up work friends Anna and Mårten and skied from one of the huts at the top of the mountain, meaning that each loop started by dropping and finished by climbing a lot. Really nice conditions and a beautiful place to ski.

Cross-Training 50:00
Elliptical intervals at Blåsenhus with Alli. We did 3x(3'-2'-1'). Felt a little stiff in the beginning but got better as the session went.

Running 1:44:46 [2] 13.77 km (7:37 / km) +198m 7:06 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 2012
A very pleasant tisdagsbana D in the snow. Ended up running with a group of Ross, Nacho, Annika, Elisa, and Anders Thor. Relaxed pace most of the way felt quite nice, and much less need to make new tracks than last week, so I did not hit the wall and felt good till the end.

Innebandy 50:00 [3]
Lots of innebandy tonight, including a lot of 3 on 3 in the end.
6 PM
T.rex training 40:00 [3]
A special Christmas-themed rockgympa - just what I always wanted! :)
Really fun, and a great way to finish the 2012 rockgympa year.

Skiing 1:24:44 [2] 16.37 km (5:11 / km) +241m 4:49 / km
Linné training day at the Täby OK clubhouse on the outskirts of Stockholm. Because of the snow, the first training was skiing instead of orienteering. It was about 0C, making for tough waxing conditions. Virtually no one except seemingly for Thierry had any kick, but I got a little after borrowing his kickwax. Ended up skiing with Hilda most of the way, and then a little loop with her and Lisa Larsen, Swedish ski team member and former orienteer.
3 PM
Orienteering 44:40 [4] 7.29 km (6:07 / km) +65m 5:52 / km

Innebandy 55:00 [3]
Full-speed innebandy with Ross' group at Campus1477 Science Park. Really high level of intensity from both teams today, lots of fun. Also, Ross played better than I'd ever seen him play before. Innebandy Team USA next?
6 PM
T.rex training 50:00 [2]
Middle gympa at Ekeby with Sam and Alli. Low key, and really fun. I forgot shoes, so was sliding around quite a lot on the sideways steps.
Thursday Dec 13, 2012 #
Skiing 1:05:00 [2]
Skate skiing in Storvreta while Alli classiced. Really nice conditions, snowing a bit and cold, about -10. It took me a while to remember how to skate, and I felt off-balance for the first loop or so. Form came back gradually, which was nice, but I was definitely hampered by my left knee, which has been swollen most of the year. Finally getting an MRI on Sunday. I wonder if it will show anything conclusive...

A Christmas-themed spinning class with Alli at Blåsenhus. Awful, awful music, laughably so.

shoes: VJ Falcons 2012
Tisdagsbana Alpha in the snow, running mostly with Elisa. We were the only ones who did the 16km version of the course, and so I ended up spending a lot of time breaking trail and ended up hitting the wall completely with about twenty minutes to go. Dragged myself back to KG for a looong sauna and soup. Tough night, but I need more of those to get back some strength and endurance.

T.rex training 30:00 [3]
Rockgympa. Skipped some of the jumps on the second lap.
Innebandy 35:00 [3]
Innebandy: 3 on 3 tonight, which made for an intense game the whole time, with lots of running around.

From Hågadalen to the sprints and back
Orienteering 25:00 [4] 4.4 km (5:41 / km)
shoes: VJ Supra 2012 #2
Sprint courses that Johan designed on the Ekeby sprint map. First a mass start forked sprint and then a reverse chase start final. I ran well in the qual, but was tired and slow in the final, reflecting my complete lack of speed and endurance at the moment. Still, a really fun training!

Skiing 2:19:00 [2] 26.7 km (5:12 / km)
Morning ski with Bara, Martin, and Andrew. We did blacksåsrundan with brännberget and then finished off with lätta milen. Another cold, sunny morning. The woods were just gorgeous, and I was enjoying myself the entire time. What a great ski weekend with Bara, Martin, Ross, Sam, Andrew, Marta, and Alli. Can't wait to do it again!

Skiing 1:36:28 [3] 17.7 km (5:27 / km) +128m 5:16 / km
Classic skiing in Harsa, mostly with Andrew. We did lätta milen and myrslingan as well as a bit of the loop around the lake from our cabin. We pushed each other pretty well along the way, and probably hit a pace that was harder than necessary for the first ski of the year. Still, it was really fun!
5 PM
Skiing 1:16:08 [2] 9.45 km (8:04 / km) +81m 7:44 / km
An afternoon ski with Alli on the loop around the lake. It was really gorgeous to ski with headlamps through the snow-covered forest. A fun ski followed by time in the sauna interspersed with rolling around in the snow. A wonderful evening with friends that I never wanted to end!

Innebandy 40:00 [3]
Playing innebandy with Alli and her co-workers at Science Park, 3-on-3.
Skiing 40:00 [2]
The season's ski premiere: with Alli in Hågadalen. It started off poorly, as I slipped and fell hard on my butt walking out of the house in ski boots, but then improved. We skied around the tracks from Blodan to KG, and then did a bit in Hågadalen before heading back. I felt pretty unstable on skis, which is often the case with the first ski of the year. I showed Alli the different classic techniques, and she was picking them up very quickly.

Note
Can someone with a knowledge of Finnish orienteering comment on this: http://www.hevoskuuri.fi/suunnistus/3577-deltan-ta... ? Why is Delta shutting down? What are the "different needs" of its three component clubs?
Biking 55:00 [3]
Spinning intervals at Ekeby F&S. A nice session. Thought about doing a second one, but really didn't feel motivated enough.
Running 12:00 [2] 2.0 km (6:00 / km)

Running to the gym and back through the foot of fresh snow that has just fallen in Uppsala.

Orienteering 1:13:57 [3] 9.91 km (7:28 / km) +83m 7:10 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 2012 #2
Orienteering intervals from Uppsala Training Weekend on Nåsten. Ross and I thought we'd be clever and skip the first interval so that we got to do some actual orienteering before everything got tracked up in the snow, but already on the way to our start we were passed by the faster guys who had run the first interval (Leandersson, Lysell and company). I was really cold in the beginning of this session but warmed up and felt better as it went on. Running with Ross was fun - I hadn't done that in a while, and it was great to see how much smoother and more confident he is in Swedish terrain now than he was a year ago!
Sauna plus a taco buffet courtesy of Åsa afterwards made for a great morning.

Orienteering 1:51:30 [2] 11.3 km (9:52 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcons 2012
Uppsala Training Weekend long run on Lunsen in the snow and cold. The marshes weren't frozen yet despite all the snow, so my feet were frozen most of the way, and hands too after a faceplant in a swamp. Ran with the girls in the beginning, then with Pontus for quite some time. I got tired after 60 minutes and was struggling picking my feet up high enough to get over stuff. Hopefully as I start training again, my endurance will improve.
