Running long (Road/XC) 1:30:30 [2] 16.3 km (5:33 / km)
shoes: adidas swoop 2 - 1st pair

Tough RHFW. Tired to start with, wind in my face most of the way, the terrain has changed for the worse (the compact snow of yesterday is now like loose soil) and I had indigestion from an earlier Mcdonalds - no packed lunch today, woke up too late. On the plus side however no lunch box meant my shoes actually fit in my pack today and it seems that is much better for my neck. Took some splits today...

Orienteering (Urban/Forest) 16:15 [2] ***
shoes: adidas swoop 2 - 1st pair

Putting out controls for another Farsta OLGY Luffarligan that Nick was organising. Not very successful - forgot my compass, 2 SI units fell out of my pocket into deep snow that took me ages to find and then I hung one in the wrong place.

Running (Road/XC) 16:05 [2] 2.5 km (6:26 / km)
shoes: adidas swoop 2 - 1st pair

Running around near to the start/finish in an attempt to keep warm (-19 this morning) whilst waiting for Nick, running with him to the Lidingo club hut then back to the start/finish with the relevant stuff then taped the route back to the hut.

12 PM

Running warm up/down (Road/XC) 8:50 [2] 1.5 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: adidas swoop 2 - 1st pair

4:30 WU
4:30 WD

Orienteering race (Urban/Forest) 36:45 [4] *** 5.1 km (7:12 / km)
shoes: adidas swoop 2 - 1st pair

Unfortunately the control I put in the wrong place was the first control on all courses. Fortunately the parallel feature I put it on was so close to the correct feature that around half of the competitiors finished without realising. Anyway I put it where it should be on the way around the course.

First time I have run at race tempo this year, pushed hard and felt ok. Made a medium-sized mistake on one of the controls that I didn't hang myself.

2 PM

Running (Road/XC) 4:30 [2] 0.8 km (5:37 / km)
shoes: adidas swoop 2 - 1st pair

Run back to the start/finish collecting in the tapes and then...

Orienteering (Urban/Forest) 14:00 [2] ***

Running long (Road/XC) 1:30:20 [2] 16.3 km (5:33 / km)
shoes: adidas swoop 2 - 1st pair

RHFW in the light snow. Tired today and along with freezing temperatures and heavy pack/neck ache combo didn't enjoy it much. Kept thinking of day 6 at the Scottish and being skinny for motivation purposes. Another 4 days in a row! That means rest day tomorrow.
