orienteering 1:32:00 [3] 19.45 km (4:44 / km)
ahr:158 max:183

Street-O on Lidingö

For whatever reason, nobody was bothering their asses, except Anders S (82mins) and Anders H (a little after).
Nick and I swapped places a couple of times, then he was consistently ahead of me (50m+/-) until 10->11 where my route was a bit better. On my own from then until the finish...

Nothing too difficult, pushed more than I would if I were just out training... but not hard either. Calves are sore.

Spectated at the club sprint ski champs after lunch. JAM took out his main competitor in stunning fashion at the start of the final, leaving the result in little doubt.

Aaaagh

Second evening in a row without water. A pipe must have melted.

I should have gone training earlier. And done the dishes.

orienteering race 1:03:30 [3] 5.6 km (11:20 / km)

LUFFARLIGAN :)

Happy days. Arrived at about 10:30, tried to sign up for the "extra laang" course, a whopping 5.6km, but they wouldn't let me, not without an interview with the course controller first. He told me the snow was djup and that I was the first person to try signing up for the extra long course. I mustn't have been fazed, because soon enough I was out there.

It was balmy out, I nearly went without gloves, but that would have been silly. The buff was removed shortly after starting. I discovered early on what an easy time of it I had on Sunday, running in tracks for most of the course. This was physical. Only a couple of small mistakes and probably a dodgy route or two. Also not sure how hard I was pushing, still suffering from sleep-deficiency and I forgot to start the Garmin, oops. Anyhow, mins/km were way slower than Sunday.

Enjoyed it lots :)

It was darkish on the streets of Stockholm this evening. Encountered this girl between my place and Skanstull and got a big long hug, almost longer than comfortable, which means pretty damn long, but it was nice anyhow. We proceeded to exchange pleasantries about what we had got up to that day, literature club and whatnot, all well and good. Then I asked her who she was. Oops. Then I asked her who she thought I was. Eric, apparently, and he may have a similar hat to mine.

Rest HR is in the mid fifties, need more sleep.

Vinterserien,
Farsta

"51 tappra deltagare kom och sprang i den djupa snön i fint vinterväder, vara hela 23 valde den längsta banan."
Since everyone was away skiing, I came 4th. Lost a bit of time when I met a couple of Irish girls near the rubbish heap. Other than that, and one dodgy route choice, made no real mistakes. Could still be smoother with the navigation.

The djupa snö went up above my knees in places. I benefitted from tracks as one of the last starters, but it was still tough work. And I only got to bed at 4am, so things balance out. P Hemmyr from Jarla won in 54:30.

HR was averaging in the low 170s kms 3 through 7, then dropped to low 155 and 149 for the last two. Need to get fitter. And not meet Irish.
