Orienteering (Forest) 1:15:30 [2] *****
shoes: adidas swoop 2 - 2nd pair
Long distance training on the Nacka Reserve with Mattias my landlord and his friend Thomas.
For the second time in my orienteering life I got attacked by wasps. The three of us were running quite close to each other, Thomas first and me in the middle. I heard Thomas yelp and then I felt the pain... everywhere. We both legged it as fast as possible and at the same time heard Mattias screaming that we should have warned him. Stung behind the left ear in two places, on the back, twice on the left arm, once on the right and once on each leg (which weren't so bad through the o-trousers - the little fuckers were still hanging on when we stopped like hundreds on metres further on). So 8 stings in total I think. It was weird - everywhere was throbbing so much it was hard to work out exactly where the stings were.
Didn't feel so great after that (a bit sick) and to be honest wasn't enjoying it, just wanted it to be over. On about the hour mark I went for a slash and bizarrely felt much better. Then we ran off the map.

After some running on the compass we found a lake and thought about running around it. However, we had lost Mattias and walked around a bit looking for him. Found him and he had twisted his ankle (incidently I had almost gone over on my dodgy ankle twice but it bounced back both times :) only done three sessions of balancing exercises). So we took the key, upped the pace and ran str8 back home via the trails.
