Nice evening run in the Don Valley. Great running conditions. -2 with very little snow and ice on the paths.

Legs felt pretty good!

Note

Busy day. Doctors appointment with two shots. Felt pretty darn tired the rest of the day. Also managed to fit in a massage appointment for my calves and legs. 75min of clawing at the headrest in pain. Yet another therapist amazed at how angry my muscles are. Maybe that's just their scheme... Couldn't really run (or walk) afterwards.

Skiing (Classic) 1:20:00 [1]

First ski of the year!

Great conditions! Skid with Nic and Rob from p10. A bit of a shock to the arms when we threw in a few strides.

Calves and left heel sore during.

RALF training!

Fun to be back with the crew.

Francis set up a fun O session with a few different stages including a corridor and wind-O. Felt the jet lag a fair bit...

Water Running 1:00:00 [1]

Back in Valhalla with the oldies. Thought that I had gotten through the Jul season without seeing a Lucia presentation, but got to see the youth swimmers do theirs. Nice! :)

GMOK Night sprint relay in Bjorkekarr.

Teamed up with Mimmi. We both messed up the first loop on a control on a knoll, so we got a bit behind right off the bat. Managed to pass one of the teams back by the end.

Really fun, but my calves were angry the whole time, and I likely made them worse.

SAIK's Lucia OL

Night mass start. First loop had a nice butterfly section. Second map was a corridor where we had to try and answer questions along the way. Did well on the first loop and I think I was first back to the map flip. The corridor was a bit challenging though, and it was really hard to find the posted questions.

We had to come up with a short Lucia poem before our time was stopped. Mine was:

Tried to run fast,
Don't think I came last.
This Lucia-Ol was fun,
But where's my saffron bun!?

Grus 8an test

Started out a bit fast, and faded towards the end. Got some stomach problems in the last 2k which slowed me down. I think I might have been on pace to beat my PB earlier on though. Fun with a sprint finish with Tingis.

After a terrible day at school, and poor training the past few months, I kinda set myself up for dissapointment here. The time isn't so bad though, and the conditions weren't the best.

Most annoying was that my calves flared up again around 5k in. My choice of footwear didn't help things. Only managed to hobble around for 5min as a cool down.

"Homesick" long run with Lillen, Line, Ola and Anders.

Took the bus one way to the northern edge of the Partille map and ran all the way back to Skatas.

Really nice terrain. Nice with a warm fika stop at the Sellgren's halfway.

Orienteering 1:35:00 [3]
shoes: VJ Bold (Aug 12)

10Mila Training camp

Chasing start with Junis and Micke right behind me. Thought that we were starting at the start triangle and didn't realize that it was a few hundred metres away. Couldn't make sense of anything from the start and when we got to the triangle I thought it was a forked first control. Took me a while before I figured it out. Not a good start.

Made numerous mistakes after that, head wasn't really in it. Also did an extra loop that we apparently wer'ent supposed to do.

Night Training

Was pretty pumped for this one. Chasing start again, but this time I started first of everyone.

Started really well and managed to hold off the guys behind to the map change. On the first control of the second map, I was right on line to the control but it was a bit bingo-y and the reflector was hidden by some spruces. Bailed out to the trail right away and only lost a minute. Could see other lights on the way back into the control and I tried to cover my lamp to sneak in and out of it, but I think I gave it away anyways. Made a big hook on the next control and got caught by Junis and Viktor.

We made a big mistake on #4 losing a few minutes. Was good after that though, and was fun running head to head with the other guys that caught us.
