Orienteering - easy 38:00 [1]
(injured) shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

throat feeling like its getting better, but not quite feeling 100%, so just a little jog round from the hut before we had to leave for the LONG trip home.

it's been a really good camp, not perfect with my weird shin/ankle or the slight sore throat at the end but i was surprised at how much running i could do and really pleased that my running fitness has started coming back. Easy alternative training tomorrow and hopefully back to the running on tuesday.

Orienteering - hard race (middle distance) 33:43 [5]
(injured) shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Woke up with a bit of a sore throat, thought it might have been from talking too much or sleeping in a stuffy room though. We went to a regional race nearby. Different map style and a slightly different kind of area, really bushy. Not very clean today, hesitant and made bigger mistakes on three controls, losing about 3 and a half minutes altogether. It didn't feel at all like a winning performance so it was a big shock to find that everyone else had missed more, and i could win ahead of Linnea and Sofie :-O i don't think that's likely to happen again soon! Can't find any maps of ou course but a map of the area is here http://gadget.todoorientacion.org/cgi-bin/reitti.c...

Sore throat no better later on, so the rest of the day was fika and a bit of touristing.

Mandus' ultrasprint round the camping. Was a bit blonde and got my ass kicked by just about everyone, but fun all the same.

Orienteering - easy 48:00 [1]
(injured) shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Early up today to travel 90mins away for training. Was worth it, superfast rocky forest :-) and my shin was feeling fine! Could feel my ankle a bit though. weird. running much better, finally feeling like i'm getting a bit of running form back.

orienteering really well for the first half, then suddenly lost concentration and nearly ran off the map. it took a couple of controls to get my confidence back and then it went really well again.

Orienteering - hard 23:06 [4]
(injured) shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

The official hut 8 championships. And able to push quite hard at last :-)
Lost seconds through being unsure of myself on some bits and being distracted when i saw others, but mostly went well. The others made a few more mistakes so i was able to take the title and the right to the first shower :-)

11 AM

Orienteering - easy 52:00 [1]
(injured) shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Noticed that i had a huge bruise over my right shin without having hit it, really weird. Hurt a lot to touch but okay to run on. Not so good with the orienteering today, was a bit chaotic trying to get off the mountain after some heavy snowfall(!) and hard to suddenly concentrate on the map.

5 PM

About to put my O shoes on again when noticed that my right ankle, the same leg as my bruised shin, had swelled up lots. i hadn't fallen on that either. so kinda worried about it, no-one had an answer for what it might be. decided to skip training and see if it was any better tomorrow...

From the hut. Went loads better today, 14 of 25 completely clean but being strict, they were all small time losses. starting to read the terrain better, still not feeling v full of running but shin fine :-) Got SO scared by a wild boar though.

4 PM

Orienteering - medium race 20:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Sprint race in the tricky rocks. Not feeling like i could really push (not a good idea anyway, it was too easy to make mistakes) 8 of 11 clean, got a little distracted by the others.

Orienteering - easy 1:08:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Feeling dead tired after all the travelling, first training in Peguerinos. Really messy to start with, the terrain was really fast but detailed and rocky and needed a lot of respect! 17 of 25 clean.
