Orienteering long 1:57:25 [3] 17.0 km (6:54 / km) +235m 6:28 / km
shoes: VJ Bold (2017)
Long Steady - Mass Start - Torsnes
Wasn't sure how I would cope after the last few days but my legs were responding well in the end. Quite snowy in the area and very cold to begin with, but the sun soon warmed things up.
Started at a prescribed easy pace with everyone which withing 5 seconds turned out to be my race pace. Played along until the front pack disappeared and I eased down the intensity a bit running with Fredrik and eventually Mats. Caught them up after taking my own route to 4 and took the lead going to 6. Immediately made a stupid mistake and felt guilty as Fredrik followed me in. After this, him and Mats took their round route to 7 leaving me on my own.
I was quite happy to spend some time buliding my own confidence, just like Friday night. What I didn't realised is that I was ahead of the other two, and so after some good legs on the east side going slowly at my own pace, I lost 2mins on 12 misreading the contours and let them slip by. Caught them at the road crossing very smoothly as they ran by while I was joining the road and then ran the last loop with Fredrik, first exchanging the lead several times but eventually bonking and drafting him for the rest of the course after 17.
Good training - navigation and confidence getting there but not sure I would have been able to run much faster in a race, let alone the 20mins faster Gaute managed to stomp round in. Skiing might have been in the legs but didn't feel too bad generally. Anyway, good to get a long orienteering session in before JK and hopefully more signs that things are continuously improving. Certainly enjoyed this very much; probably helped by the large group of people participating and the beautiful weather.

Floorball
Great few matches with a good turnout, so full court. Scored a cheeky knock-in on the third game and a dreamer of a goal from distance just before the end of the fourth and final. Quite tired but not too bad, and very enjoyable as always. Might be the last week they do it unfortunately, but maybe for the best as the O season begins.
