Jogging to KG with Ross, then warming up with Lina, and jogging back to Blodan with Rassmus.

A one-man relay from the clubhouse. This was my first orienteering race of any kind since O-Ringen. It was a mass start with four loops of forked sprint courses in the fields, forests, and neighborhoods around the Linné clubhouse. I ran too fast for my present shape on the first loop and paid for it by struggling during the last two loops. The orienteering was mostly ok (it was pretty simple), but I still managed to take a couple of bad routes and made one actual map reading error that cost around 30 seconds. My speed was very low, but it was a lot of fun to get out and race.

Running out to Nåsten and back on a beautiful, sunny Uppsala morning.

Orienteering! I did one of Thierry's pre-made and marked King of the Mountain courses on Nåsten. First time really orienteering in the forest in so long. Really fun, especially on a beautiful, sunny day. Ran in short sleeves and just loved finding controls. Thanks Thierry!

C • not bad! :-) 5

Elliptical intervals at Science Park, imitating the intervals Linné was running the same night. Did 8x2', where the first 1:30 was on high resistance, imitating an uphill, and the last 0:30 with low resistance, imitating pushing over the top of the hill and then down. Not sure if it was a realistic approximation, but I certainly sweated a lot. Did 8 of these with 1 minute rest.

Orienteering in Stadsskogen with Alli in the morning. We did one of the courses that Thierry made, put online, and "streamered" control locations with biodegradable red paint. Lots of fun, and Alli got better and better as we went.

Alli and I went to a class called Strengh and Sprints that Marta Z runs at Blåsenhus. It definitely kicked our butts but certainly kept the heart rate up the entire time.

Tisdagasbana! Did the short 9km edition, which meant running by myself for most of it. Felt very uncomfortable with both running and navigation, though both got better as the run went on. Didn't help having a half-charged headlamp that only worked on low power. No snow in the woods at all, just lots of mud, which was pretty fun to run through.
