First walk then jog then yikes maybe I'm late run to the start of o-ringen day one. Pretty warm out.

O-ringen Day 1: H21-1
Started kinda hard actually though the splits don't really show that, quick enough on the downhill to 4 I suppose. Suffered later on. Especially uphill to 6. Then was silly on 7, misjudging my distance terribly. Clean after that but was well tired by the end. Punched the second last with a guy and raced him to the finish though he stayed ahead. Fun but hot.

Arms are pretty sore this morning. It was a full body workout yesterday.
Was putting up splits from WOC on AP. Was going to do the relay but decided that the results from leg 3 are such a mess it's a bit nonsense. Everything not relay should be up now though. Apparently sprints and AP don't get on fantastically. Winsplits includes decimals in the time but AP doesn't accept that in xml format so I had to modify some stuff.

In what appears to be a quest to maximise the number of colours on my log, this evening I went to the nearby Parkour gym. Yes, in Sweden's love of outdoor gyms, one of them is specifically designed for Parkour. This involved jumping over things, between things on onto things along with climbing things and swinging from things which was pretty hard work overall. Built up quite the sweat. Good fun though and nice to do something different. I did get hilariously stuck trying to jump over a 10ft high wall where I got my feet over but then my hands slipped so I was just hanging by the knees. Also bashed my shin off a metal bar which wasn't super pleasant..

Jog over to KG first to meet up with the people there and have some extra time outside in the sun. Feeling a bit heavy. Then back to Stadskogen basically the same way, but it also turned out I was the only person who knew the way so good thing I went! Then some drills and strides. Not feeling springy.

Well this was humbling. Went mostly to socialise but the body was not playing ball. Well, except for my HR. Highest HR since I don't know when, but I wasn't going fast. At the back of the group pretty much always and had to skip part of the second 4.

Jog towards home with the group, then Ross and Rassmus, then just Rassmus. Seemed to recover pretty well but had a nice lie down on the sitting room floor when I got home. That was good.

Back to some kind of normality for a week. Plan is pretty non existent though. I'll play it by ear. I brought my cycling shoes from Ireland so there should be some cycling. Travelling to O-ringen on Saturday and day 1 is Sunday.

Since it was sunny, I now have my cycling shoes and I don't have WOC to train for in the immediate future, I broke out the road bike. Decided on a lap of Lunsen to go to some new places. Absolutely fantastic tailwind in the beginning, though it was a little swirly at times.
Turning off the main road the road was a little more rolling so the speed dropped, though I did put some effort in on the little hills. Couple of other cyclists going the other way and passed a pair of roller skiers too. Was a little unsure at one junction and stopped to check the map which cost me on the average speed.
After this was a serious headwind and it wasn't until I got into the shelter of Lunsen forest that I got some speed up again. Decided to push Dag H, so took some speed down the hill to the bridge and then time trialled up the hill. Pretty tough that was.
Good fun and a nice change from running. Some company would be nice for the headwind parts perhaps.
