Second technique training and again, contour and compass. The first 6 controls without compass and then only with compass until control 10. Went really good, the speed was not really fast, but also not slow. Good training!

Task of the training was to decide on putting the focus on compass or on isohypses. I felt sometimes unsure what to choose or if I can just focus on one, because most of the time I use both, but I think I managed the training quite good and start to improve some techniques.

Finally, some orienteering again! Some small mistakes but in general quite okay until control 15. But control 16 was my downfall. First, I completely forgot the control, I don't know why and if I orientated first till control 16 and then jumped or how it was, but I ran obviously to control 17. At control 17 I realised that there was a control between 15 and 17 and I ran back to control 16. But I was completely out and did just bullshit. That shouldn't happen!

Today I ran again with the smallest light to make it better than two days ago. It was not always easy to stay in the corridor, but I'm satisfied. The speed was quite slow, but that was planned and also necessary.

Oh shit, that was catastrophic! Ok, I must admit I ran with the smallest light my headlamp has and I knew that this will be difficult in this terrain, but that it will be so bad ... that was frustrating. I felt really unsafe with my compass and had also problems with the direction. I definitely have to improve my o-skills in general and especially my night-o-skills. By the way, the best thing happened to control 15, where I saw a small water place and because I nearly followed already a other yellow hill and my decreased self-confidence due to all the other mistakes, I started to question myself and had the thought to be on the hill much more to the east. To be sure I ran straight to the west and when I came down to the path, I realised two things. The first one and good one was, that I was not completely wrong and that I'm not a hopeless case, but on the other hand that I did a really stupid and unnecessary thing. But hey, I'm training again and it can only get better ...

Second training in this beautiful forrest. First half quite fast speed and good orienteering, but afrter I slowed down, the orienteering was also quite bad.

Nice last training in Hökensås, a momentbanan made by Filip Grahn. Not so happy with my compass again, always slightly too much to right. In the corridor I didn't understand the map at northern end, but it was a really nice last training.

First training in Hökensås and it was really nice. I was not allways happy with my compass today but I'm working on it.

Not really happy with this training. We were 3 guys running together and the loops alwasy alone. Did a bad job today and searched a lot. I think I have to do the next training a little bit more serious and with more focus. But it definitely good training for the legs.
