Pretty tough training session in the snow on Volhaugen. 7 km of control picking, where all of the open areas were knee-waist deep snow, and most of the forest too. Running in deep the snow is like running in soft sand, every step is such a mission. Fine through the first section, but must have stopped at the first hill on 10. 13 was really weird, and 17 looked like I was at the top of the steep bank, but obviously not. Just horrible on 20 and 23, which stuffed me up for 24. Got it back together for the last controls except 34 (the tracks were so strange) and I swear I was at the top of the hill on 38. My foot was still sore again.

Nice run in Volhaugen, quite fun in the snow. Except for the knee-deep section across one of the marshes for a good couple of hundred metres. Foot was still sore though

Brought in controls after the weekends training, in 15 cm deep snow. Wasn't too bad except the control flags' strings had frozen in the knots, so instead of untying them I just ripped them down. Ended up taking half the forest with me. Also my hands almost froze from carrying the metal stakes that had been in the snow overnight.

Interval training with school on Ørin but with no map, just running. 0:30, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 2:30, 3:00 and back down. Foot was ok to start with but getting pretty sore towards the end
