Forest-O race 55:30 [4] *** 7.0 km (7:56 / km) +100m 7:24 / km
Guessing a few numbers as Garmin didn't make it all the way :(
First day of oringen and very mixed results. Fundamentally a really poor run, with brain turning to mush after 2 controls, and legs following suit after 6. That said the 1:15 transition was unproblematic and scandi terrain doesn't feel as alien as it used to. Most importantly the knee kept quiet, although developed some grim rubbing on the ankle from the shoes that I've been wearing without any problems for almost a year.
Apparently this combines to give a top half finish, and only +15 on the winner, which is bad especially considering I'm on the peasants course, but nowhere near as bad as I thought. Now about trying to avoid the mass start, and see what can be done tomorrow.

Running (out of date) 30:00 [4] 4.0 km (7:30 / km)
Forgot Garmin.
Tester/session on a track in Constanta, generally good with only minor hints of the knee bit unstructured but managed a 100/200/300/400 with equal distance rests as well as some other bits and pieces. Run back was proper sketchy with the dogs I was warned about in the hostel.
Nice to know that the track in the rundown stadium of a third tier Romanian football club is still a better surface than anything I have access to at home.
So unsure about oringen (still) but confident enough to start the first day trying to race it, will rest up now cos there's no chance of regaining any fitness in time.
