running 1:00:40 [2] 10.6 km (5:43 / km)
rhr:42
evening constitutional
was going to go north initially, but the bridge near my place was up, all 6 lanes of it, to allow a boat to go through. I watched, then decided to follow it down to hammarbyslussen. Got there just before it, and waited to watch it and a small dinghy go through the lock. They had to raise another bridge there for the big boat. Continued along the coast to fåfänga, then back along the north. three quarters of the run was on hard ground. Can feel it the next day.
Rest HR before running was 42, lowest I've seen it. amazing what 13 hours in bed can do for one. still tired after that, but i guess it wasn't real tiredness.

tired, but still went along to help some smurfs act like elves constructing lidingoloppet. ate pasta cooked by smurfettes afterwards.
was in bed by 10pm, got up the next day at 7 for a brief breakfast, then back to bed until 11. Guess I was tired.

running 53:00 [2] 8.3 km (6:23 / km)
First run from my new apartment in Hornstull. Ran along the water's edge till Hammarby-Slussen, then back along the woods of Årsta (where kids were out orienteering, didn't get close), over the railway bridge and through the park to home. Nice.
Wore my new New Balance 1222 runners which I bought yesterday (along with some boxers for Andrew, he never has enough boxers). It was good to have a bit of padding for my feet, the old racing shoes have none.

Forgot to say...
On Saturday I was talking with Juliette and Alistair before the race and they said they had picked up a hitchhiker on the off-chance it might be someone coming to the orienteering competition, and it was, a Spaniard, they said. What was he doing in Sweden? a postdoc at KTH... hmmm, I thought. In what subject? Mathematics... hmmm, I thought. Is his name Dani?! "What, you know heem?!"
He was off entering an eod course and arrived a moment later, surprised to see me, needless to say. If he was a Spanish orienteer from Barcelona, I couldn't but ask him if he knew Annabel, Tommi... but it was only his third ever time orienteering. Funny life is.

orienteering race 1:12:00 [3] 7.8 km (9:14 / km)
Trivia question: Who came ninth and tenth in today's Swedish Long Distance Champs? Answer below...
Didn't wake up today. Started by forgetting my socks so I ran bare-shinned in flagrant contravention of Swedish orienteering regulations. Hesitated a fair bit on the way to the first control and then made a mistake in the circle, didn't have enough energy to both run and focus.
Got caught by Oskar from CentrumOK, the DN cover boy for their orienteering article. made independent mistakes with him until the seventh where he ran away and I stood around looking stupid having missed a contour on the map...
I had gotten a substantial lead on him on the way to the 5th, but then entered what was mapped as semi-open (rough open with scattered trees), but in reality was a felled area with serious undergrowth, lots of little trees hiding tree stumps etc. It was painful enough that I slowed down and zigzagged and lost my lead by the sixth control at the end of it. Took a better route to the seventh putting me back in the lead but then blew it in the circle. Doh.
the rest was a slog. Only ten controls in total. AndrewQ ran well, 57 minutes for second place. Jarlaboy won in 54,
Answer: Mattias Karlsson!
