11 AM

Orienteering - hard race 16:36 [4] *** 3.0 km (5:32 / km)
spiked:18/22c shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Round my own garden in Kvarngärdet! Mostly went well, reading ahead and picking the best routes, but two things wrong today. I lost concentration once, made a parallel error on buildings and ran across the corner of a private garden, not losing much time but making me have to disqualify myself. Then ran the wrong side of a tall fence with my control on it, and it was all the way round a building to get to the right side. i did look at the description before i chose the route and it said E. fence instead of E. side of fence. Maybe should have twigged but oh well.

Mostly good though, especially as i was a bit dead from being out last night. Good practice at concentrating when tired, and it would have been a comfortable win too!

Aquarunning - hard intervals 20:00 [4]

10x2min/1min Short intervals training. would love to be doing all these as proper running, but dont want to be starting with shin problems again just now - Venla test this eve, so will get some running today anyway, and this is the next best thing :-)

Linne Venla test. what a mess! some really bad legs today, it seems once i make one mistake i lose all confidence and it snowballs into bigger mistakes. will look closely tomorrow when splits are up, im sure i can find some positives. a few of the other girls are having similar problems though, nice to chat about it, hope to get together before the race to sort out some strategies.

Really easy day. not comfortable with 'tapering', i have to try hard to feel okay with doing less than normal. was a nice day to not do much though, close and stuffy in the air. steady out from home, with about 10mins drills in the middle, concentrating on having an even, strong and light technique. felt nice and bouncy :-)

Had planned intervals but just felt like doing this - at the end of the first long interval i felt like i could go on for ages (lasted about 20mins, then it was hard work)

Aquarunning - hard intervals 5:00 [5]

5 x 1min extra hard at the end, quite long recoveries

Running - easy 25:00 [1]

Morning jog. Still feeling really heavy, hoping it was from the stuffy room and time of day.

12 PM

Orienteering - hard race (sprint distance) 17:25 [5]
shoes: Walsh PB racer Feb 11

Elitserien Sprint. Mixed forest and houses, complicated houses and quite happy with these bits, felt slow but just about stayed in control. Forest not too good, just not feeling confident here and it showed, first a medium-sized mistake (15-20s) then a biiiiiiiiig mistake (over a minute? :-O ) on a stupid place, running back into the houses. Too worried about getting it wrong to concentrate on getting it right!

So not an amazing weekend, never expected the long race to be my best of the three! But pleased with my racing there and good to get a bit more used to big races, carrying chips, map exchanges, new formats and quarantines. Just the orienteering to sort out, will try and get some forest sprint training in the next week.

Legs feeling a bit better now :-) Not the best ever, but i dont think anyone was feeling really fresh today.

6 PM

Running - easy 35:00 [1]
shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide (Dec 10

Back in Uppsala, and energy back in legs despite the travelling and racing. So this was to clear my head a bit, especially after looking again at my map, route and splits.

Running - hard hills 4:00 [4]
shoes: Adidas Supernova Glide (Dec 10

Five short hills on the way home, probs not sensible to do a proper session.
