Mtn Bike 56:00 [3]

Gaustad woods, then Ullevaalseter. Scorching.

Got back to find HT had run into 12th place in Middle Distance Final at EM in Latvia. Stunning.Great stuff.

Walk 10:00 [3]

Late night walk back after 50th party at Lysebru, walked from near Beserud on a beautifully clear light late evening..40 minutes of walkings worth.

Mtn Bike 1:00:00 [3]

Technical mountain-biking course for 2.5 hours on Bygdoy. Found out that I'm not very good at bouldery and tree rooted paths, nor jumping over logs or sharp bends..or much..but it was good fun on a scorching 26 deg evening.

Lots of stretching. Was going to bike but wimped out when saw the late afternoon rain.

To work

Mtn Bike 18:44 [3] 5.2 km (3:36 / km) +140m 3:11 / km

PB back home uphill, either because of the bike, or because it was slightly shorter or because I'm superfit...probably the middle, certainly not the latter.

Mtn Bike 40:34 [3] 14.9 km (2:43 / km) +285m 2:29 / km

Great evening so headed out again.

Really went for it up to Ullevaalseter and then back down via Svartkulp and east side of Sognsvann. Loads of fit looking folk about: runners, bikers, you name it. Wanted to break 40 minutes but probably would have come off on a gritty corner if I had tried any harder. About 25 mins up and 15 back down.

Folk in this country have it so good. Norwegian kids finish school at 2 and then what a playground to have.

Mtn Bike 18:00 [3] 6.0 km (3:00 / km)

Still chilly but cracking morning. Shortcut avoiding the cemetary and the no bikes signs that I'd not seen or ignored before.

Struggling with a mix of calf and achilles right now. Can't think about running at present. Immense frustration. May try cycling later today after a trip to the O event at Kolbotn with T.

Mtn Bike 1:18:00 [3] 26.0 km (3:00 / km) +415m 2:47 / km

Ride from Myrvol by Kolbotn while T was O'ing. Fairly random route to Siggerud and back on cycle path and forest track.

Gratulerer med dagen. Norwegian National Day and it snowed this morning. Reported to be coldest National Day in 50 years.

Physio - needles on the right calf.
Exercise for achilles but all related..fix the calf and I'll probably fix the achilles.
Some stretching, some core work.

Dutch railways, escalators, stairways and duty free shops in Schipol. Nothing interesting.

Mtn Bike 3:52:00 [3] 65.8 km (3:32 / km) +1240m 3:13 / km

Great ride through Bærumsmarka, Krokskogen and Nordmarka.

Dropped off at Lommedalen, then to Greinehytta, Myrsetra, Damtjern, Storflatan, Kringla, Kikut, Bjornholt, Skerjoen, Svartkulp and home. Had to push the bike a few times over some snowy technical sections, and nearly ran over an adder near Lovlia...just sitting in the middle of the grit road sunning itself. Weird, snow and an adder. Last of the ice on a lot of the lakes now but pretty picturesque.

Tea, waffle and carrot cake at Kikut sitting in the sunshine overlooking Bjørnsjøen. Bliss. Hammered it back from there in 50 minutes.

Event: Pinseløpet

Event: Pinseløpet (Kongsberg)

Mtn Bike 1:00:00 [3] 19.0 km (3:09 / km) +500m 2:47 / km

Cracking day. Slemdal, Beserud, Holmenkollen, Frognerseter, Voksenkollenveien, Holmenkollen, Slemdal, Vinderen, Gaustad, home. Pushed the first 8 km up to the lake at Frognerseter quite hard. Recce'd my leg (7) of the Holmenkollen relay on the way up and down.

Caught the end of the 5th leg of the womens relay at Vinderen.

Note

Too difficult logistically to get to and from Kongsberg (Pinselopet) and do Holmenkollen relay at same time. Any running is a bit sore on the achilles too so two races in a day is certainly asking for it.

Running 20:00 [3]

Warm up / warm down

Road Running race 8:00 [5] 1.79 km (4:28 / km)

Leg 7 of Homenkollen Relay for Chevron Norge AS. All uphill from Slemdal to Beserud. Fairly evil. I'm sure Peter Northug was running this leg too. We ended up 215/487.

Stretching 10:00 [3]

Mtn Bike 25:00 [3]

Post relay bike down to and back from Frogner Park for post-race beer and burger.

Mtn Bike 18:00 [3] 6.0 km (3:00 / km)

To work. Achilles loosening off a bit, slightly swollen. Hmm...Kongsberg Pinselopet and Holmenkollenstaffett at weekend..fingers crossed.

Weather forecast is good for another week.

Mtn Bike 23:00 [3] 6.0 km (3:50 / km)

Back home. Achilles settling down now thankfully. At least it didn't bother me for the annual "dugnad" clean up this evening.

Very sore right achilles after last night.

Orienteering race (Oslo City Cup Final) 24:53 [5] 3.2 km (7:47 / km)
shoes: VJ Twister

At Hestejordet by Linderud. Didn't know whether it was sensible or not to run, calf and all but heart got the better of the head and I got away with it! Started off 4th in H50 in chasing start. Didn't navigate much though. Far trickier than earlier rounds and haven't seen results yet but it seems no 2 doesn't show up on the splits! Whoops. Kept ahead of the 5th guy anyway but nowhere near catching Einar in 3rd. Still the calf is a real bonus.

20 degrees plus - a great evening, and not too sore afterwards.

Note

Physio appointment at Nimi at lunchtime - got the acupuncture treatment..seems to be working!

Got my map and wandered around for 90 mins with camera at Siggerud Trimtex Cup race. Great area but tough. Lovely weather and pretty scenic. Still feeling calf.

Mtn Bike 1:15:00 [3]

To Skjersjødammen then Ullevaalseter and Sjennungstua. Ankle deep snow so couldn't head further to Tryvann etc, hence retraced route back to Ullevaalseter then down east side of Store Akungen and west side of Sognsvann. All with D, who burnt me off up the hills even though I had a bike that weighed 10kgs and he had Cs which weighs about 15, and I had SPDs on. Comes of him being 20 and me 50. Muddy.
