Jukola training 1 - relay training
Start was like yesterday. Didn't enjoy it eventhough usually I'm very anxious in these kind of games.
At about 8th control the terrain changed. I liked it a lot and this increased my speed also.
Only one notable mistake at #4. I was 75m right from the cp in a same kind of place where the cp was.
A bit too hot for running but just perfect for afterwards swim. The top 20cm was surprisingly warm.

Jukola training 2 - middle distance
This was more like it. Or it would've been if I could've run from the start. Between the trainings we ate a sturdy lunch and it took almost half way when I was able to run. But after that I enjoyed it a lot. Perfect terrain. Nothing more to say.

Not my day, nor weather, nor terrain.
The pollen hit me yeasterday pretty bad. Been sneezing like crazy..my abs hurt..
I've never been that good in high temperatures and this day was no exception. Didn't do that much of mistakes, maybe 1-2min total. Still I lost almost 15min to the winner.
If the weather is like this next sunday, I may not start to the ultra long.

No time for training. Just working, cycling and watching world's worst friggin' team trying to play some foot friggin' ball... I think I'll turn into supporting HJK...

Prisma-rastit, Lohja
I wanted to do my own run so I would see the level I'm at at the moment but it started all wrong. On leg 1 there was some paths that weren't in the map and I misread them. I thought I was way left but in fact I was going just the way I planned. I was stopping a lot and walking, trying to figure out where I'm at. Just as I located myself, sulttaani shouts back at me "You're looking totally lost". I said that "Good that the cavalry came to the rescue" and hopped on to this two man train. After this, I have nothing to say from my performance. It was pure following right to the finish.

Seems like I'd get better ranking points than the best points last year: ~72.

edit.
There was a baby viper 2 m from where we kept our bags. My and Tomi's snake dance wasn't enough to lure him/her away...

District's sprint champs
First sprint race in Finland ever (two in Portugal) and from the 1st leg on I could really see / feel that it was so... I just can't do it properly...
In the first 2/3 I did loads of small mistakes. Also punched two extra cps.
Towards the end I got some hang of it. Also running started to feel good. I even barely overtook Tytti, wohoo!
This showed well why my name is in the ultra-long champs entry list and not in sprint..

I've said it before and I'll say it again: it ain't easy being FC Lahti supporter...
