| (rest day) |
| Travelling up to Salen for the greatest orienteering competition in the world - the Oringen. On the way we travelled through some really really beautiful terrain but when we got to our destination it looked a bit grotty to be honest. Hmm. |

| Orienteering 40:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Integrator Silver Fox |
| Tour Champs classic on Iddy. Collected a few controls afterwards. Probably the best of some really great terrain this week. |
| Note | |

| Was delighted to finish joint first with Oleg on the Coach leaderboard. The results were not fiddled in any way;) |

| Orienteering 1:00:00 [3]***** | |
| shoes: Integrator Silver Fox |
| During the tour champs sprint I decided to go and check out the terrain for the long race I was planning for tomorrow. Awesome area. Would probably be impossible to plan a bad course. |
| Orienteering race (middle) 34:00 [5]**** | |
| shoes: Integrator Silver Fox |
| Tour champs middle. I had a wee run out on this one after putting out a few flags. Was a really good tough course. Felt pretty competent although a wee bit scrappy in the circle. Spongey was a minute faster with Oleg on something silly like 29. Happy to be ahead of everyone else:) |
| Swimming 15:00 [3] | |
| |
| Swimming in some more chilly water. A couple of jumps off boards too. |

| Running race (time trial) 2:24 [5]0.84 km (2:51 / km) | |
| shoes: Integrator Silver Fox |
| The big day for the TT - well rested after coffee and ice-cream in Halden in the morning. I dusted off the running vest/shorts and Oleg set a blistering pace at 2.26. I then taught him a lesson he ain't never gonna forget (or something) with a very nice 2.24. Neither of us really felt we would do it much faster that week so kind of lost interest after that.... |
| Fitba (Marsh) 40:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Integrator Silver Fox |
| Had heard a lot about the marsh football but to be honest hadn't really seen the attraction. But it was really great fun. Brilliant laugh. Would recommend it as it is so silly. |

| shoes: Integrator Silver Fox |

| Orienteering race (night relay) 10:00 [4]*** | |
| shoes: Integrator Silver Fox |
| a wee night relay. Had a bit too much to do after Ross was sent out on the long course v everyone else on the short. Did manage to pull us up from last though. |
| Swimming 15:00 [3] | |
| |
| A wee swim/wash after the marsh football. Water was a bit chilly. |

| shoes: Integrator Silver Fox |
| am route choice pm control pick/line.
Was really getting into putting the controls out on the control pick. This, of course, meant I put one in the wrong place. Oh well, it was bound to happen at some point. -5 coaching points though gutted. |
