Note
out in the woods anything could be a troll
ut i skogen allt kan vara troll
här i min backe jag håller koll
står som alltid jag gjort
här i Trolldalens port
Uvens öga är mitt protokoll
Bubo bubo was nearby

running warm up/down 35:00 [2]
orienteering race 48:23 [4] 4.85 km (9:59 / km)
ahr:176 max:189
Närkedubbeln
Middle Distance, Getingedalen
48:23, won in 33:58, so I didn't exactly cover myself in glory. HR shows I wasn't running hard enough, but I couldn't in that terrain. Need to learn to read a map better - mistakes (some small) at 3, 4, 6, 7, 14 (14 was big, almost two minutes) and running too hesitantly on 2, 11, 12.
It was lovely terrain and mapped better than usual. Andrew ran a stormer, 36 something.

Blankhult Syd
evening training with Andrew. There was a stock of maps from 1992 in the cabin mapped in the old style, less contour detail and no forest vegetation mapped (apart from a couple of veg changes, but no green). So it was very similar to running on a contour-only map.
It was lots of fun, the first control was tough because it was there was a big manky area in between the start and it, but after the second control it was all pretty straight-forward. Had to stop on the way to the 5th to let a big moose mama and a wee moose calf wander out of my way. I had a really good view of them, not too far and really open forest with no vegetation in the way, 'twas beautiful.
One of the most fun sessions this year.

running 50:15 [3]
on the second yellow loop I spotted a deer a little bit ahead. Then I heard a mighty bark, so I slowed down, thinking either the deer was a strange-looking dog or the deer was for it and I shouldn't get involved. As I approached, the wee deer gave another bark or two and trotted away. I chased it for a bit.
Felt good.

running warm up/down 35:00 [2]
5 before, 31 after, jogging from haga to stadion
orienteering race 22:03 [4] 3.5 km (6:18 / km)
ahr:178 max:194
Stockholm City Cup
Haga Norra
Still haven't recovered from Monday night's exertions. Only arriving back to the flat just before midnight yesterday didn't help matters much. Got over eight hours of sleep anyway, but that wasn't enough. I left my orienteering clothes at home, despite bringing shoes, si card and all, so I had to come home after work, get changed and go directly to Haga Norra instead of running there. Changed my start time cos I was an hour late.
Didn't run well, unsurprisingly. Some bad routes, got lost at the third control, didn't spike a few others.
Winner ran just over fifteen, impressive! It was hilly, especially if you chose my routes :)

Tired when I went to college today. The seminar was excellent, by an american who is famous for moving to sweden to play table tennis.
The colloquium talk, also v interesting, was by Harry Kesten, who wouldn't have produced reams of probability theory if the nasties had had their wicked way.

other 2:00 [3] +500m
First time up the Sugarloaf!
Went up with Jenny, a one-time mathematician who has seen the light.
It was lovely.
A few more photos.
The noise from the N11 was unreal on the east side of the summit, on the west side, only a couple of metres away, it was inaudible. I think walking in the hills is good leg strength training. Pity there aren't any in sthlm.
