running 1:31:55 [3] 12.81 km (7:11 / km) +550m 5:54 / km
ahr:155 max:175
Running en el desierto/ cordillera de la costa
the near half was pretty sandy, far half a little more stable. The outward leg took 1h, almost all uphill.
Coming back 31 minutes, could feel my back muscles after about 10 :)
glorious up there, saw maybe fifteen plants, otherwise not a living thing.
Average HR the same going up and going down.

after showering went to the uni to meet up with the group heading to Meijillones for lunch. Had mussels as a starter and "acha" as a main course:

Perhaps not the best thing to be doing to achas, but are there any safe fish to eat these days?
Then went to play on the beach with half the maths dept for a few hours. Swam for several minutes to rescue a volleyball that was getting blown out towards the Galapagos.
Thank FSM for factor 50!
Had a look at some pretty cliffs and "La Portada" on the way back. Not a bad day :)

ahr:151 max:180
from Bartek's up onto the grit and sand Cordillera de la Costa.
Started around 11am and the sun was already too strong, otherwise I might have done another 30mins... hard work going uphill.
The wild dogs that used to hang around the water station weren't to be seen.
Went up to almost 400m above sea level.

running 1:10:00 [1] 10.0 km (7:00 / km)
Out for over two hours starting at 1:15pm in sunny santiago. Smart chap I am.
Went up San Cristobal, got lost a few times, took off-road routes a few times, not all of them successful. Quite a bit of climb involved.
The sun is going anti-clockwise.

trail run 1:50:00 [1]
around the coast on the norra djurgarden map with the headlamp. Threw in a yellow loop on the way back to get over 1h40 and have a bit of extra climb for good measure.
very slow
was back up to around 75kg this morning after waking up on monday at 72kg
worked hard on eating yesterday :)
time for a break, methinks

trail run 40:01 [1] 6.4 km (6:15 / km) +230m 5:18 / km
Over 8hrs in 7 days... I was 2kg lighter than a week ago when I checked this morning... one more day and then a wee trip to Chile should put the brakes on.
Good to do a bit of volume, and while I'm tired and hungry, I don't feel close to broken like I did a month ago.

Vinterrejset!!!!!!!!
It was wicked. Drove myself and Andrew up to Uppsala where rejset was on. A little sleet got us well in the mood, out came the thermals gloves headband waterproof socks etc
More later, must get under my quilt for a while. Took a while to defrost after the race!

orienteering 1:32:24 [2] 11.0 km (8:24 / km)
ahr:158 max:198
Paradiset
embarassed myself doing lineO with AQ, good training, bad neil.
then 40 minutes in we switched to intervals swisscheese-style, andrew won 4-2, then jogged back to the hellas clubhouse.
HR broke 190 each interval, felt more like I was tired than running fast. When was the last time I did a 6h week?

Note
Two 5h weeks in a row... compared with a grand total of 7 in the preceding 12 months.
No wonder I can't run.

half/half before/after
orienteering race 58:10 [4] 8.47 km (6:52 / km)
ahr:183 max:193
Mila Stockholm by Night!
Something like my 5th time night-orienteering ever, and maybe second time with a real headlamp.
It was well fun. Small mistake at the 6th but lost over a minute to andrew and he overtook me; slightly offline to 7 slowed me down, good to 8, not the smartest route to 9, but it was fun :)
then missed a track junction on the way to 10 so lost another minute and a half.
wiwnner 46, andrew 56, nick 57? neil 58
not bad, gonna get better :)
completely wasted afterwards.

trail run warm up/down 15:00 [1]
yawned many times on the jog to the start. a couple of minutes warm-down after too
orienteering race 1:18:12 [4] 9.5 km (8:14 / km)
ahr:165 max:187
Tullinge-organised competition, comp'n centre Brantbrinks IP/tullinge clubhouse
Continued my stunning form in "long" distance orienteering in Sweden with of the order of ten minutes of mistakes? Garmin says I ran 11.3km
Clearly not running fast enough either, looking at winner's time of 52 and my AHR of 165. 20 beats too low...
Didn't sleep enough so maybe that could be an excuse. At least I enjoyed it :)

orienteering race 33:56 [4] 5.0 km (6:47 / km)
ahr:183 max:196
Tullinge's comp'n, from clubhouse at Brantbrinks IP
Fun race, ran a good bit of it well, no major mistakes for the first 60%, then mistakes at 11, 14, 16. Kept pushing.
lost about 2 minutes total.
Boris was beating me by 25 seconds a couple of easy controls to go, so I put the burners on. Got him by ten seconds. A minute and a half down on Andrew, 6 or7? on the winner.

From KTH in the evening.
Andrew joined me after doing most of a green loop and we went off and ran yellow and red too. Fun training. Much warmer than a couple of nights ago and I had to unzip my jacket which I wasn't happy about :)

Note
Nicu was supposed to drive my car to my place last night to put winter tyres on, but she didn't want to come.
So I went out to see her this morning, cooling system was all out of water/antifreeze, so we added some and drove her back to my place. We failed miserably at changing the tyres as the nuts were rusty, so we went to the professionals... who also failed miserably with the power un-screwer... but succeeded with the aid of a rather long lever. He didn't speak English, so I apparently spoke some Swedish.
Efter han har bytade däckarna, jag bed honom ser the engine and the avgassystem som var broken. Han fixtad avgassystemet och allt var bra, men nu har jag mindre pengar.
On the T-bana home from Mälarhöjden a good-looking girl gave me her DN. I haven't found her number written on it anywhere. Oh well, guess I have some pictures to look at.
I didn't get much maths done today :)
Nor much training :(

orienteering 1:51:00 [2] 13.95 km (7:57 / km)
ahr:158 max:188
Nacka
Training with Boris on a beautiful crisp winter's day. The frost was down and a thin layer of ice coated many of the puddles.
Between Boris' butt and my calf, we didn't push too hard (or at all!). Lovely forest to run through, very runnable it was and with wonderful views out over the lakes. One of those days when I'm happy to be an orienteer :)
Thanks to Csaba and Elisa and Kat and Boris for dropping me home where I had a tasty meal and a warm quilt waiting for me!
