Orienteering race 1:35:00 [5] ***** 16.0 km (5:56 / km)
spiked:29/32c

Jukola relay last leg for VSOK. Things were a bit up and down for our team, with quite a few big mistakes through the night. Anders Osterlund pulled out an amazing long night leg as usual, but we were still far down on our expectations by the end of leg 6 in 83rd. I started well and ran strongly and cleanly until about half way, but after that I made three big (2min+) mistakes. Still managed to get in ahead of a pack that had been gradually developing and picked up to 64th. I was surprised to catch so many places with such a messy run, but I suppose everyone was making mistakes in this very difficult terrain. Maybe the best Jukola terrain I have experienced!

Running warm up/down 35:00 [2] 6.0 km (5:50 / km)

Lots of warming up required to defrost in the cold early morning, and lots of warming down, running around the Jukola site trying to find various people.

Event: Jukola 2007
 

Orienteering 20:00 [2] **** 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
spiked:10/10c

Short course around the Jukola model area. Slow and steady.

Running 15:00 [1] 3.0 km (5:00 / km)

Jog to the training and back. Spent a fun afternoon spectating at the Venla, looks like it could be a tricky night!

Orienteering 35:00 [4] ***** 7.0 km (5:00 / km)
spiked:13/13c

Jukola training on a really nice area with big areas of bare rock. I took this training quite hard to try to bury the ghosts of yesterday. Started steady and wound the pace up, really nice terrain and enjoyed myself a lot!

Running warm up/down 20:00 [2] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)

Hula Hooping 5:00 [1]

Tough session of hula hooping in the gym at our accommodation. Seriously, I want to learn how to do this! I can manage it for a few spins but only by accident and only with a lot of hip movement. Thea, on the other hand can spin it effortlessly for as long as she wants. My stomach muscles hurt like hell now.

Event: Orienteering World Cup Event 1
 

Orienteering race 15:00 [5] **** 3.0 km (5:00 / km)
spiked:20/21c

WC sprint qualifier around museum and hospital in Lapua. Really nice course with elements of forest and buildings, lots of short legs and twisting and turning. I made a big booboo on an early control, lost 50 seconds and figured that thigs didn't look too good for qualifying. Still pushed hard after that and got a good feeling back, but missed out by a decent margin.

Running warm up/down 30:00 [2] 5.0 km (6:00 / km)

Warm up for the race and jog to explore my mistake afterwards.

Orienteering race 15:00 [5] **** 3.0 km (5:00 / km)
spiked:17/19c

I must admit that I found it hard to get excited by this B final - It was so late in the day by the time we got to start. Anyway I found some motivation and started hard, but made some silly mistakes and lacked focus. Oh well, it was good training if noting else. Nice one to GG and JD on classy results in the A final and to RobB for a good race off an unexpected first start!

Running warm up/down 25:00 [2] 4.0 km (6:15 / km)

Really good warm up before the race, but hardly any warm down - it was late and raining and I was in a boo.

Orienteering 5:00 [5] *** 1.0 km (5:00 / km)

Short bit of hard running on the sprint model for the WC race. Standard stuff around the buildings of Lapua cultural centre.

Orienteering 20:00 [2] *** 3.0 km (6:40 / km)

Warm up and the rest of the sprint model.

Note

My name is Oli and I am stupid and I must remember never to leave myself signed in to Attackpoint when in a public library in Lapua, Finland.....

Orienteering 20:00 [2] **** 3.0 km (6:40 / km)
spiked:5/8c

Model event 2, all in forest this time on a blown up 1:10 map, so not very user-friendly. Some encounters with magnetic rock that set compasses spinning and could be a potential hazard in Jukola as well.

Orienteering 1:10:00 [3] ***** 9.0 km (7:47 / km)
spiked:8/12c

Training in a tough forest near Jukola, very detailed and surprisingly rough terrain. Maybe not too similar to Jukola but very nice training anyway, I felt pretty rusty in Finnish forest...Line followed by a course, which I cut short.

Orienteering 30:00 [5] *** 7.0 km (4:17 / km)
spiked:27/30c
