Roslagshelg middle distance. Pretty nice terrain about an hour north of Stockholm. Legs screwed from yesterday, nice blood blister under toe. Decided to try and push as hard as possible. Another scorcher of a day. Felt ok on the warm up, and legs felt good for about 10 minutes. Then it was a bit of a struggle. Didn't help that I was throwing away seconds all over the place. One 30+ second mistake, but at least 5 other places I lost 5-15 seconds. Not good enough, even at the end of 2 hard training weeks. Finished 2 minutes behind Fredrik Lowengren dammit. At least I beat all the other boys in the club.

Cycling to race and back

Trail/terrain running warm up/down 30:00 [3] 6.0 km (5:00 / km)
ahr:133 max:170 shoes: Blue Saucony Triumphs

Long warm up round some of the course, with extended strides.
Tried to warm down properly, but stomach was properly screwed. Could only manage 5 minutes, then had to sit in Portaloo for 10 minutes....

Something a bit funny going on with my stomach right now, thats 3 times in a month that I've had problems....

Trail/terrain running race 42:24 [5] 12.0 km (3:32 / km)
ahr:176 max:183 shoes: Blue Saucony Triumphs

SpringCross - cross country race round Djurgarden, a nice park north of Stockholm City Centre. Weather was beautiful, upside of 25 degrees in the heat of the day. Quite a big race - 2000 people running in the various categories. I ran the 12km and came 3rd, which sounds ok until you realise how I ran the race. I decided that there weren't going to be any 'good' runners, so I decided to run at the front from the start, with whoever was leading. Unfortunately for me, the guy at the front started fast. Really fast. My goal was to run 3.30 mins/km on average, with a target of 42mins. We ran the first (hilly) km in 3.05. Hmmm. Oh well. Second km was 3.23 (although I'm not convinced by the actual distances accuracy wise). Went through 3km in 9.46 and 4km in 12.59. Ouch. Then I realised he was a bit too fast for me and I died. The planned even split went out of the window - 20.21 for the first 6km lap, 22.03 for the second lap. I ran in 2nd place until about 4km, when a guy who started more sensibly came past, and I had nothing to give. Then it was just a case of hanging on. That is possibly the most painful way to run a race - 4km at maximum, then 8km in lactic agony. Kept in front of everybody else.

Splits here (some estimated - missed a couple of markers)

3.05 3.23 3.18 3.13 3.50 3.31
3.27 3.44 3.39 3.26 4.02 3.42

Stomach felt a bit dodgy last few km, but calf held up great.

Note

After the race, cycled over to Lidingo Ultra 50km, spent 3 hours taking down arena in blazing heat - absolutely screwed now. Dehyrdated, legs tired, knackered.

District Sprint Champs. Stomach was dodgy before, but after a quick wildy on the warm up felt much better. Tricky course, good route choices and nice mix of urban and forest. 7 controls in view of arena was cool. Won by 5 seconds with a scrappy but ok run.

Really really long line-o in Domarudden. I found it really hard, and came off the line quite a lot. Once I jumped ahead about a km and made a massive parallel error and ran up the wrong hill. Fun training though.

Had a barbecue afterwards with club people by the lake. Ate too much steak. Mmmm steak.
