Game against HU-46 at Hollola gym. We won first 6-4 and second minigame 2-1.
The court was probably 10-15m longer than the official sized one and it meant mostly good for me. After all, running is my best ability in all the ballgames.

Very tired run at Tiirismaa area.

After workday, cycling and making Hämis a Hollola citizen, this was more of a "gotta get hours above 10h"-type of run. Last time this happened was maybe in April.

At energiahalli. No substitute guys so it was quite intense the whole time.

From parking lot to Laaso, nine times down and back to the parking lot.

Eight times pretty much walking with good pace. First three on my own and then with Jones, Elisa M., Markku L., and AÖ.
It was pretty muddy and towards the end my energy reserves were getting pretty low.

Altogether nine climbs and the fourth one with full pace.

Event: Yökuppi 12 Asikkala Majuanmäki
 

LIVE is on at 18:00 (17:00 CET). Individual start. I won't most likely start that time cause it's not dark yet.

Yökuppi 12, Majuanmäki, Asikkala.
It didn't start all that good. I knew from summer's district champs that the tracks from the start weren't too visible during the daylight and still I had to go and look if I could see 'em better at night. Didn't. 2-5 OKish. To #6 I was going all well and think I would've found the cp on my own but Hämis made a small mistake on that and his light was coming towards me right before the cp. I guess that helped a bit. Then got more help from him to #7. Lost him right after as I seemed to lost my brains also. Just kept on going forward... Over 6min mistake to the last one. But after that happened something that erased the bad feelings away. When I got to the last road towards finish, running felt better than it has ever felt. And I mean it. I would've wanted the last leg to be 2km long so I could've enjoy every mm of it. Hope the feeling lasts.

The motivation for training seems a bit too high again for this time of year. Looks like my silly season was before the last competitions of this year. If only this time I could push the performance peak a bit later to the spring / summer.

The start of the monday runs. Fellow runners: Assu, Anatol Örnov and Hämis. Basic Devil's Nest route.
