Pula!
A bit long and a bit slow, but passed a mini-colosseum and a Boris shop and some other cool stuff. Got shouted at by archaeologists when passing the little Roman ampthitheatre.

Rovinj !
Fun fun fun afternoon session. Got Boris by 3 seconds, catching 10 seconds in the final navigation-free legs. Up and down the hill at least 7 times, but fantastic fun and so so pretty.
First time in Croatia. And still undefeated!

Closr today, though thought I was going slower. Left hamstring still isn't right (since before Jukola sometime)
Fun week, fine company with Bara and Martin and Boris and Alli and Andrew.

Bedlewo, before breakfast.
Hot here, and lots of maths.

Intended to do a longer run today, but spent a bunch of time cleaning the apartment, then ate biscuits and dates to have enough sugar to run... 20 mins in my intestines were gurgling ominously, so I stopped and sunbathed on a rock for a while, then jogged back. Hohum.
Still not sleeping enough. I thought the new drugs would have kicked in by now.

At this rate I'll give up training... ugh... one paper resubmitted today though.

I'd heard talk of a photo along these lines (Volynska after the sprint?), but hadn't seen one. Nice to see Mironova showing some love too.

trail run 54:00 [3]
Spin on the trails without missing too much of the ladies' 1st leg. No live TV anyway, so didn't really miss anything.
National TV was free, and GPS didn't really work. How about a refund?
Though it's way better to have WOC in cool terrain than to have properly functioning GPS. Just don't make us pay for tracking.

Racing Miguel for 68 bus after watching Brazil Germany. 1-7 is a historic result.
Note
It's not the same without qualies. Where's the build-up? The form? The story?

to/from the far end of Paloheinä... went to find a bar after with Tommaso to watch sprint relay.
I'm not sure why people on AP are so positive about the coverage. Maybe it was the Finnish commentary, but it didn't seem anything special. Certainly not worth bastardising woc for.

5 controls of the 7km course at paloheinä and then back along trails to be in time for spectating.
Experimented with padding the sides of the heel, but it kept trying to come out and I had to keep stopping and adjusting it and the laces. Not exactly a success, though there were moments when it felt good.
Not enough sleep, not enough energy, so couldn't orienteer. Apart from that it's been a good day.

In case anyone was wondering whether stupidity was genetic, my brother lives in Rio but is spending this week and next in Berlin.

Up to Kivikko. It's a bit different, more broken, with cliffs and trenches and chasms.
Lots of maths today and yesterday, plus emailed uppsala and geneva about possible jobs.

WotD: masentava ~ disheartening, depressing; crushing (defeat, tappio); (nöyryytävä) humiliating
Oh, some catching up to do...
potku ~ kick (vapaapotku - free kick; kulmapotku ~ corner, etc)... but also: saada potkut ~ be kicked out, get the bounce, be fired. And less relevant to the day's events, potkukeikka ~ where a hepsankeikka sits when going down a snowy hill, skeleton sleigh.
