Hydration excercises.
Saturday Oct 24, 2009 #
Event: Smalandskavlen
Running warm up/down 30:00 [1] 3.0 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Panther
One of our team's agendas was "galaktinen kulku". It was obvious that this wasn't one of those days.
Orienteering race (night-o) 1:06:42 [5] ** 8.9 km (7:30 / km) +450m 5:59 / km
shoes: VJ Panther
Smålandskavlen. Map: Högalund.
The official ending of season 2009. It could've ended better..
We had a HyRa / LS-37 United as a team. Me, OMo, Wilho, Tukiainen and K.Niemi.
So I was heading to the woods in first place. On the way to Sweden (on the boat, about 2:00 o'clock to be exact..) I was sure I would beat Assu and Olli but climbing up to #1 I wasn't anymore. Running felt awful. On #3 winning team's Airila caught me by 2min and I tagged along. In the forest and on uphills I had no problem to follow him but on paths I had. From 7 to 8, the 1.6km of path was too much, I was on my own. One minute mistake to #8 (the highest point on clearing..) was the first real mistake. Then everything was fine up until the dotted fields. Here in Finland they are forbidden areas but apparently in Sweden they're not. I avoided them couple of times (~1½min loss according to GPS) but soon realised that it's acceptable to run on them. No real mistakes in the end but lots of stops and standing. I just wasn't prepared for "street-o". And my legs turned into jelly on 13-14 (121-105). Leg contained 50+ meters of climb on wet field.
So not the best physical day and technically it wasn't the best either. But I won both Mäntsälä guys and Olli (and quite a few guys which are better than me) which meant that it wasn't the worst either.
Distance from GPS: 10.63km. Climb calculated from the contours (GPS gave 660m..).

Running 45:00 [2] 7.78 km (5:47 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel DS Trainer IX
Motivation level is now 10/10 and I would've wanted to do a longer one cause sunday will be a rest day. But I thought to save something for tomorrow also.
In two hours bus will head towards Helsinki. There might be some online stuff going on here but you never know (Swedish...). If I'm on the first leg, my start time is 19:27 CET (20:27 Finnish time).

Strength 1:00:00 [1]
Playing drums at Ahtiala junior high.
I know quite a few doesn't think it as a training but with my technique it is. I had a Polar strapped on to prove that. I played 1h45min but took a little guitaring break (after "First Date" and "Everlong") and there were couple of slow songs. Avg HR for the whole session was 92 but during the songs it was about 110. Max after Everlong was 124.
It felt absolutely splendid to get to play again! Got some steam out.

Floorball 55:00 [3]
shoes: Adidas Stabil
Workplace's floorball session at Energiahalli.
Note
Just got a phone call that my leg in Smålkku may change. My namesake is sick and the last leg might be too much for him. I actually wouldn't mind running a 12km at the moment. Good preparation for Yökuppi final.

Note
Yökuppi LIVE is on at 18:30 (17:30 CET). It's a mass start so could be a thriller again. If my back gets bad, I'll save it for Småkkeri and walk the end of the route.
Running warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.0 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Panther
Orienteering race (night-o) 1:11:40 [5] **** 6.0 km (11:57 / km)
shoes: VJ Panther
First forking went well. I was in front of Essi who finally won the whole thing. Then a smallish mistake, a bit bigger one and a major one (went out from the map, a total samaistusvirhe). Then I didn't feel much like running but Voimis and Terkelsen made me to try my best.
Running didn't feel good at all (eventhough it seems that it was pretty fast). The antibiotics I have to eat at the moment make a whirlwind into my stomach and I was close to hurl several times (didn't give Essi that joy).
Results
RG (note: the description covered a lot more from the left so basically I was way off the map)
I just decided that I'll be in top three at the final! (if the top guys are those already entried)

(injured) (rest day)
Resting my back (btw, I figured out a tool to get my socks off for the night, if and when you were wondering) for Yökuppi. Just realised it's a mass start. Gave me little more motivation.

Running 1:40:00 [2] 17.0 km (5:53 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel DS Trainer IX
Late at night I got an idea that monday runs must start tomorrow. My email gathered altogether four people (Assu, Jani, Keinänen) to Siiri statue which was double the amount I was expecting.
Yesterday's floorball wasn't the greatest idea for my back. Two Voltarens and ace bandage corset didn't help at all this time. Looks like I'll be sleeping with my socks on...
