Note

spent many hours in the hospital today, trying to get a diagnosis for my forest aids (which has spread to like half my leg)
still not sure what it is, will have to wait for test results, but in the meantime my leg is bandaged to my eyeballs! will be interesting to run with it on....
3 PM

running 40:00 [3]

running to and from the map

orienteering 1:00:00 [3]

time is a guess, as i spent a lot of time thrashing around in a green marshy patch...time on my watch was 1hr 20 but i think 1hr will do.
took it pretty chilled, found the controls fine (probably cuz i was taking it chilled)
but then found this green marshy patch and it was awful!!! i had to wade through it all for ages! think i scared a moose at one point cuz i heard something huge galloping off!

orienteering race 1:04:56 [4]

bergen local event
toughest terrain ever! very very wet and slippery everywhere, almost lost my shoes in every marsh. and thick bushes, plus blueberries AND it was steep
so it was abit of a bitch
but i think i did ok, apart from moving slowly (which cant be avoided here i think) lost time on 2 controls from poor route choice
bergen is cool :)

11 AM

running 53:33 [3]

run from home (well...sorta home) through my new favourate map and into town to find an ATM, which i needed urgently!

foul weather today, really windy and bucketing rain. made it a little but gay but it was still cool. worried the cash in my pocket would get soaked !!

running 1:14:21 [3]

...and back from the ATM / town. went a different, longer way to see some more forest. felt quite ok. had to go slowly in bits on the bare rock so i wouldnt slip and kill myself....

am off to bergen tomorrow! mainly for sightseeing, but have also organised to run in one of the weekly O races there, which should be sick! the weather better be good !!! or i will be angry!!

running 2:15:46 [3]

epic epic mish run.
ran out and started to do a course on a nearby map, but after like 5mins i was soooo sooo hungry and felt really weak running through all the heather etc. tried to continue on but was going so hopelessly slow that i bailed on that and just ran along the tracks for ages. found a cool tower thing too.
cant say it was too enjoyable considering how hungry i was!! but still, the forest here is amazing :)))))
