Training Log Archive: Cat T

Woke up, packed up, found that i was starting a bit later than expected, no disaster but i had to be on a bus from stockholm c by 18.30. Bit tight but okay if i ran well. Eight minute lead though so some orienteering cushion. Started course, off line to 1 and relocated wrongly, many minutes but no panic. Lost more seconds. Plain wrong direction to 5. Train caught me, ohhhhhhh shit. Running with Lisa R, we both made a complete mess of 7. Kept being messy, we overtook Fredrika about 4 times. Three controls left, long leg, Lisa went for a longsprint and i was too tired to follow. Tried to keep track, lost sight of her a couple of hundred metres before the control. A bit too high, panicked, wondered if second spot was safe... But looked like it matched just below and some old guys were standing looking confused, so knew there was a kite there.. Into the finish and turned out Lisa had spooned it worse and i won overall anyway. Haaa sums up the trip, most undeserved wins ive ever had! 2 minute laugh about our misses, washed face in a lake, got in the car, drove 6hrs to Stockholm without stopping, made my bus by 2 mins. :-)
