Note
Got up at 04.00 for flight to San Francisco..not quite what I wanted after yesterday.
Gym 40:00 [3]
shoes: Reebok Premier RoadPlus
30 mins on the treadmill in the hotel gym in San Ramon after travelling all day. 10 mins on static bike. Felt a bit weird doing it at what should have been 4 in the morning UK time.

XC Skiing 5:30:00 [3] 54.0 km (6:07 / km) +1000m 5:36 / km
Decided to avoid the 14,000 Norwegians on Birkebeiner race day in 14 days time and hence gave it a crack ourselves at a more convenient time. Took the train up to Rena with Tom and Lee. Perfectly groomed motorway tracks all to ourselves except from Sjusjøen onwards. A single dose of red wax did the job. Bright blue skis, superb scenery and just a slight headwind.
Cracked the first 15km and main climb in 90 minutes. Started to get twinges of cramp just before Sjusjøen after about 36km, but once we were on the downhill back towards Lillehammer no problems...apart from breaking a ski in a compression just past Sjusjøen. It split in half just behind the heel when I crossed a road and was just held together by the base. Wondered what the strange noise was! Took it a bit easy over the last 10-12 k as I didn't fancy walking. Made it an expensive day.
5 hrs 30 was good enough for 580th / 889 in 2006 in my age group. Could be worse! Mind you it was won in 3.08.
Pretty knackered but celebrated with pizza and beer in Lillehammer. Chuffed to have done the ski, the bike and the run.

Orienteering 34:00 [3] *** 3.1 km (10:58 / km)
spiked:8/10c shoes: VJ Twister
Re-ran Kolbotn Trimtex cup mellomdistanse race (D15-16) near Myrvoll. Don't know name of the area as it wasn't on the map. Nice bright day with very minimal snow in the forest (20 mins south of Oslo). Started 5 minutes after Kirsty. Nice and rough and rocky technical area with enough line features to make it not too tricky for a first real time out on a map in Norway in 2008.
Messed up 6 by a minute, saw K near 9 but I'd overshot it losing another minute. She ran about 38 having done 40 in August.
