Race/relay simulation with the team. I screwed up really really badly. I don't know how I messed up most of the time. It was really really really bad. Check out my map with route if you want to see the failures. They're pretty unfortunate.
Okay, enough lamenting and wallowing in self-pity. Take-aways: 1) Pay attention to your compass! Don't think you're going in the right direction; CHECK it! 2) Focus on the process. When in an exciting race, it's easy to get caught up in what other people are doing and in trying to move quickly. That's not a good thing. You can't afford to forget the little steps.

Stomach felt very gross, so I slowed down to a walk at the end. Wish I had been feeling 100% because this was a fun map! We skipped 3, 8, and 9.

Sprint in Tampere, focusing on flow. From one of the higher points the embargoed area was visible, but I didn't know and so didn't look up from there, and I missed out on viewing the terrain.

Terrain workout with Emma, Izzy, and Julia. 5x (2min, 1min, 30sec) w/ 90sec rest between each interval. We did this on the Teisko map we were on the other afternoon. I find that when running over bumpy, rocky, underbrushy ground, it's pretty difficult for me. If we were on flat, smooth ground the whole time I would have been able to keep up much more easily. I think the picking my feet up and jumping is what's hard.

Strength 10:00 [2]

A little bit of drills and strides and core

10 AM

Running 12:00 [3] 1.58 km (7:36 / km)
shoes: Innov-8 X-talon 212

Warm up through the woods. I was shocked at how much the mossy ground sank in. It's a little bit like running on a trampoline but a little less bouncy.

Orienteering 33:36 [3] 2.8 km (12:00 / km)
10c shoes: Innov-8 X-talon 212

Three loops, working on compass and distance estimation. Between loops we stopped and looked around, measuring distance and seeing it in the terrain.
It feels like I'm going much further in the terrain than I actually am. That may be a function of the springy, mossy ground?

Orienteering 48:32 [3] 3.2 km (15:10 / km)
5c shoes: Innov-8 X-talon 212

With Julia and Katie. One of us would lead for each control, and the others would follow along without looking at the map. Afterwards we explained where we had gone for the controls we followed on. At one point we got off a ways, pretty much off the map. Hooray for relocation!

To the start

Orienteering 36:26 [3] 2.49 km (14:38 / km)
5c shoes: Innov-8 X-talon 212

Designed our own courses from an all controls map. Didn't make it through my whole course, only 62-79. I was going slowly, but was able to read most everything. I had a successful first day in Finland! I'm happy with it.
I want to start doing ankle strength daily because I'm a little nervous for my ankles.
