4 PM
Orienteering 50:47 [3] 2.71 km (18:45 / km) +299m 12:05 / km
Staying at Refugio Viviani at 2100m just outside Madonna di Compaglio.
Road traffic horrific so took us hours to get there and so bad that we had to decide to jack the middle race on Sunday and go directly to the aiport from the accom.
Team run (I walked) up the hill next to the hut to enjoy the fabulous dolomiti panoram. Liz Campbell sure knows how to organise a fabulous camp - freely upgraded from 10 euro bunk room to twin bedded en-suites!

Hanging controls on Seefeld Wildmoos - venue of my 2nd ever JWOC race where I came 22nd (1989). I don't remember the panoramic views that surrounded the place but the terrain felt like I'd been there last year!
Shadowed Charlotte round one course (she burnt me off!).

4 PM
Orienteering 6:56 [0] 2.33 km (2:58 / km) +9m 2:55 / km
Took the cable car up and rode a toboggan down - a break from the training.
Was hoping for a super fast edventure but they gripped too well on the track and mine was dead slow - still managed to hurt my coxics and bruise my thigh when I failed to stop at the end and crashed (I still can't sit down properly 3 days later!)

Jogging the team up to the relay after a quick thunder storm, shadowing Jonny and Charlotte and then collecting in controls and back to the vans.
We took the scenic route back towards Bolzano - over a few passes in glorius sunshine. Saw two glaciers and enough dolomites to make sure I want to return again (in a few years).

Run/walk up the valley to the start of the middle (my God it's up hill!) then a session re-running the start and the butterfly loops of the middle. This terrain rocks! I loved it, despite making a complete hash of one I then got into it a bit, enough to slowly get across to control circles (hunting for 4cm high yellow stick).
Then a team swim in the very, very cold lake!
