Running 39:56 [3] 9.0 km (4:26 / km) +180m 4:02 / km
2 weeks ago I wrote that I knew some day, I will run this loop under 40 Min. Well, i gathered it would be next year, but no! I did it today!! I felt good and strong and quickly got a run in over lunch because I can't go in the evening anymore because we changed back to wintertime :-(.

Hiking 2:00:00 [2] 6.0 km (20:00 / km) +880m 11:32 / km
Hiking with Sandra onto the Wiriehorn! Almost sunny, but cold and beautiful fall day. We needed to escape the fog and greyness in the lower elevation that stretches over the whole middleland. With this kind of weather pattern, the mountains usually are warmer with blue skies!

Running 56:28 [3] 11.0 km (5:08 / km)
Run Lombach loop alone; feel energetic and strong; expected to be faster than usual again, but wasn't. After 4 days of fog and grey in grey, the sun finally appeared again :-). (it has been most beautiful in the mountains, only 10 min away from where I work, so frustrating to sit in this soup all week.)
16.23 first bridge, 29.16 bridge all down (12.53) and 27.12 back to hotel.

Orienteering race 53:10 [5] 4.1 km (12:58 / km) +180m 10:38 / km
Last Nat.A race near Wil; I was really psyched up and wanted to run well and practice my competitive edge. I succeeded quite well and tried to push and to be concentrated all the time. Later, studying the course, I realised that I still was not entirely clean. 2 1-minute mistakes and one 2-minute mistake plus 20 secs here and there. But physically, I seem to gain speed and I am more and more able to stay with the first few.
The fact that I was 5 min late at the start, did not interfere with my attitude. What was more unnerving was the fact that I did not get a clue sheet at the start as I was directed on an outside lane to start. So, I tried to calm myself and to take it as a good training to be absolutely sure of the control I was "punching". I was very pleased with the outcome and encouraging result. (I am not running for any ranking points, I have missed too many meets this year.)

Hiking 3:30:00 [2] 8.0 km (26:15 / km) +900m 16:48 / km
Climbing the Schwarzhorn near Grindelwald on an absolutely beautiful fall day. I had wanted to climb this peak for a long time. It is steep, has ropes and chains to hold on to. Christoph, do you remember our climb last year? This is the peak on our left when we climbed through the rocky saddle.

Orienteering race 56:38 [5] 7.0 km (8:05 / km) +180m 7:10 / km
Nat A-meet in Stein a.Rhein on German border. Beautiful woods, open, fast running. It was humbling to realise how fast some of these old ladies can run!! Made mistakes on #1+2 for lack of concentration, then I could start speeding up. Must have fumbled on some legs anyway when I compare my times with some of the others. At 2nd last control completely missed seeing the last control and ran far down when i realised that the circle I was heading towards were the finish circles!! Climbing back up, losing at least 3 minutes, probably 4 :-(. Ahh, I am still struggling with lack of competition edge, and this was an easy course, so I did not concentrate enough. My plus are sprints or technically hard courses as I seem to be able to concentrate quite well and fare better than others.
Friday Oct 5, 2007 #
Running 1:04:43 [3] 8.0 km (8:05 / km) +300m 6:49 / km
Run Bleiki and faster again; cracked the 42 min up! goal is to get there under 40 min someday. 41.50 up and 22.52 down. It was good to rest from running for 2 days as my legs were tired from the Bikeride on Monday. I just need longer recovery time since I'm older ;-(. It will take awhile until I will have built up my form again after 4 years of injuries/surgeries/recoveries. BUT, i can run again :-))).

Mountain Biking 2:09:00 [3] 38.0 km (3:24 / km) +400m 3:14 / km
Try my new mt.bike and ride from hotel around Lake of Brienz. Beautiful fall evening first high above the lake on trails and then back on other side mostly on roads in the dark. Push hard. Also wanted to check whether I should even consider running the foot race in 2 weeks. It is such a local highlight around here (like the Garden race in CS), everybody is cheering, but still, it is 35 km long!
