Note

3hrs hike with Valentin in Charmey into the Gorge de la Jogne. A superb region, only 1hr driving from home... which I have never really visited!
Hip is doing better, but I could still feel it... another bath in the SPA helped.

Strength workout, body we 20:00 [1]

Ouch, my hip which was bothering yesterday is really sore today. I wonder if I pulled a bit a muscle.

12 PM

100% trails and roads 37:00 intensity: (30:00 @2) + (7:00 @3) 10.04 km (3:41 / km) +5m 3:41 / km
shoes: Mizuno Rider 14

Lunch run along the lake. Running at 4:00 and a bit faster felt really nice, so I even did the 7th km fast (around 3:10).
6 PM

100% off trails 39:00 intensity: (29:00 @1) + (10:00 @5) 5.2 km (7:30 / km) +275m 5:56 / km

Intervals through the forest. I planed to do my standart 3.5min loop 6 times, but my hip started hurting bad enough that I almost had to walk to get home. So I was only able to do 3x3.5min.

100% trails and roads 1:09:00 intensity: (20:00 @1) + (49:00 @2) 14.25 km (4:51 / km) +368m 4:17 / km
shoes: Mizuno Rider 14

Evening run. Tomorrow I am doing an MRI for my knee, so I tried to provoque the pain while running. I could find a stride which was causing pain. I am curious what the MRI will show.

100% trails and roads 46:00 [1] 8.0 km (5:45 / km)

Sandra on the bike, me running along.
... and my knee is as good as it hasn't been for a very long time. Quite ironic, a few hours before I got an appointment for a MRI.

100% trails and roads 20:00 [3] 4.0 km (5:00 / km)

Evening recovery jog.

Town orienteering 50:00 intensity: (35:00 @1) + (15:00 @5)
shoes: Mizuno Universe

WC Final. Sprint in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
Ran quite well, a few hesitations and not few not optimal route choices. I finished 12th, 46s behind Dani. With the 0 intervals and sprint trainings I have done in the last weeks, that is not so bad.
Surprinsingly my knee didn't hurt at all.
7 AM

100% trails and roads 30:00 [3] 4.0 km (7:30 / km) +100m 6:40 / km
shoes: Mizuno Rider 14

Morning jog. Went back to the place where I did my big mistake the day before. It felt good to do it, so I could find peace... the mistake followed me every minute since yesterday.

Orienteering 1:20:00 intensity: (40:00 @1) + (40:00 @5) 12.0 km (6:40 / km) +380m 5:45 / km

WC race in La Grande-Joux, 15km away from home :-). A dream became true.
The beginning went quite well, I felt like nothing could happen to me. I had everything in control... until #10. A diffuse control I underestimated. In my approach I had a thought jump and I ran just by the control and not realizing I was too far. Because it was so flat and diffuse I lost 2min searching the control. I was so mad!!! Once I found it I just started sprinting the hardest I could to get rid of my frustration. This mistake felt like a game over. In my madness I managed to do a further, really stupid, mistake towards #14, entering a total wrong patch of forest, loosing 1min30.

Too bad, I think a top 5 rank would have been very realistic without those mistakes.
