running warm up/down 15:00 [3]
orienteering race 18:25 [5] 3.0 km (6:08 / km)
Centrum Team Sprint
First leg.
Started at teh back of the pack (55-60 teams) so I was happy enough to be not far behind at the first control. Possibly took a dodgy route at the 6th, otherwise I went fine until a small mistake running into a boulder in green, 10 seconds, at the 11th I think. Right behind AnnikaB heading across the field. Started to have trouble breathing, saliva drying in my throat. Too cold for racing. Stayed behind her up the hill and dropping down into the second last control.
Overtook her on the path to the finish. The second last control wasn't my second last control. FAN. No excuse.

orienteering race 13:30 [4] 2.0 km (6:45 / km)
Felt like crap while waiting for Andrew, possibly ran too hard on the first loop.
Made a balls of the first control on loop two, at least I checked the code(!)...
This sprint was more urban than the first one which was essentially forest (running around the yellow loop area). A couple of route choices around fences/buildings in the university area, did these well I think. A little sloppier on the forest controls.

Note
in Dubliners with Nick and Ruairi,
watched Ireland win its first grand slam since 1948 by destroying the welsh team 17-15 and relying one of the 23 guys called jones on the welsh team to miss a last-kick-of-the-game penalty... whew :)

bike 30 [2]
exercise bike plus a little cadence test on the treadmill...
160-165 steps per minute, steady, whether at 11kph or 16kph...
apparently 180 is what elites run...

running 1:50:00 [1]
exploratory jog out to my soon-to-be new playground, Nackareservatet...
took 40 minutes to get onto the map from Hornstull with a couple of mini-detours, it'll probably be 20 from my new place.
Quite a bit of slush and ice left on the trails, so a fair bit of the running was in terrain, map in hand. Got three controls :)
Came back via T-Bana. Had a few minutes to wait in Bagarmossen, and I wasn't particularly dry or warm, so I spent a while running up the down escalator.
Fun run.
HAPPY PADDY'S DAY!
