XC skiing 57:57 7.26 mi (7:59 / mi) +37m 7:51 / mi
ahr:138 max:169
And a little morning ski at Mora before we took off to Tanndalen. Went out to the Mora ski stadium, going backwards on the last bit of the Vasaloppet trail and then fiddling around on a map a bit when out there. The little trails were mostly not groomed, but a few were, and then you could still see the hints of them and keep track where not.
The contours were also just fun to read and seemed really clear, possibly because the snow does a low-pass filtering.

Note
And we're successfully in Tanndalen, after a good van journey from Mora. Yummy enough dinner, comfy enough rooms, and good snow! Psyched for the model tomorrow!

And up and out orienteering with Karen pre-breakfast to start of a long travel day.
A little map-memory exercise, which is really really good. First went well, second I parallel errored on a big cliff, had my compass but wasn't paying it much heed. Another one down the line also got confused on a little trail which messed up the plan and couldn't really place myself on the trail even with the map...
Nice to get the o-training in, and awesome to have a buddy to train with!
Rest of day: 4 different trains, Göteborg to Mora, which all went remarkably smoothly, and luckily finding the other USA folks after some confusion upon arrival.

Whoop! Out orienteering with Karen after all day work at the observatory. We jogged over to an area that her club had done a sprint race on in January and both ran different versions of the qual course.
Was good training, was confused more than once. Wasn't yet into scale and turned down dead end on way to 1. Also to 3 actually, I was trying to read ahead and decided the control was too early, also distracted Karen there...
4 I couldn't read that the staircase above was passable, so was really confused, double checked when Karen went that way, decided to try because there was a grey staircase I saw off to once side, but turns out that wasn't the way through, what was was *straight* under the line...
Bit cleaner for awhile after that, but was momentarily out of contact on way to 12 through the buildings.
928/2000
Fun times, nice to have company, and hmph, apparently Helena Jansson ran it a good 7 min faster when racing. Oh, but we were in the dark as well as not really racing.

ahr:146 max:165
Running errands, literally, with an Emily Dickinson loop squished in. Freezing raining out made it kinda blah and was getting too cold at just the very end.
The trail bit is interesting at the moment, you have a choice of snow/ice, which is solid, but slippery, or mud, which is gooey, but less slippery. I mostly went for the snow/ice...
Felt better running than Monday, less tired, I think!

abs, back, and oops, only did one set of push ups before dinner was ready! still, did 16, which is the most this year at least (think once or twice I've done over 20?). Need to try to do 18 at some point to make sure I wouldn't flunk out of the Air Force. =)
And otherwise, ah! Need to pack.

Little joggeroo, not quite as slow as Garmin says, it didn't decide to find satelittes, or make sense of my HR for the beginning.
Around Emily Dickinson loop, still some snow for sure, although am really surprised how quick most of it melted. Really only in the woods or shadows.
