shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

Run around the lake in Hervanta for old times sake with Toni - not that I could remember any of it. A few many corrections needs for new roads, houses, factories, football pitches, bridges... Just enough time for a quick dip before heading to the airport. Stunning day.

9 AM

Run - Trail warm up/down 18:18 2.78 km (6:36 / km) +8m 6:30 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Took a while to get moving and much harder to do a good warm up when the start is adjacent to the finish (had an automatic 2km plus every other day).

10 AM

Run - Orienteering race 59:14 [4] 9.15 km (6:28 / km) +169m 5:55 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Fin5, Day 5, H40, 7.8km, 10 controls.
Long legs meant less orienteering, but an early start also meant few elephant tracks. Went out a couple of minutes behind 2nd and 3rd, but they got together and I never got close to them. The guy behind also went walkabouts somewhere so had a very quiet race.

Lovely forest, though quite tough and felt tired for the first time during the week. No mistakes today and was happy with my route choice options. Fun week, another week or so of racing in this terrain and I would have been much cleaner, but good to know that my fitness is on par with some some decent Finns.

shoes: VJ Supra 14

FIn5, Day 4, H40, Middle, 4.3km.
Was rather stupid today, was feeling good and wanted to run, but the legs didn't tell the brain, and the latter kept getting left behind. First time I've had tracks to follow this week and wanted to run! Three big mistakes, adding up to nearly 5 minutes in total. Still, means that I have people to chase tomorrow!

2 PM

Run - Orienteering race 15:10 3.27 km (4:39 / km) +45m 4:21 / km

Fin5, Day 3, H40, Sprint
Actually a reasonable run and didn't lose the time to the the leaders that i was expecting, in fact I even had quite a few fasted splits! Made somewhat easier by seeing both the JWOC and Open courses beforehand so knew where most of the difficult bits and traps were. Succeeded apart from following the tapes from the kids course from the map exchange instead of the tapes i was supposed to follow...

3 PM

Run - Trail 15:10 2.63 km (5:45 / km) +61m 5:10 / km

To the start with Adam, feeling okay once warmed up.

Run - Trail warm up/down 20:20 2.57 km (7:55 / km) +66m 7:01 / km

A bit slow to get going but feeling better than yesterday when I did.

10 AM

Run - Orienteering race 1:08:00 10.32 km (6:35 / km) +134m 6:11 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Fin5, Day 2, H40, 8.8km.
Much nicer area and course today, though there was still plenty of track running. A lot more messy today, including 3 minutes in the circle at #11 (annoying) drifting off line at the end of #4 (stupid and 1 minute) and about 45 seconds at #20 where I did it all right but didn't see the control. Finished 5th, a minute off second but 5 off the lead. On the positive side, I had 6 fastest splits in the second half of the course.

12 PM

Run - Trail warm up/down 19:30 [2] 3.01 km (6:29 / km) +44m 6:03 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Long and somewhat confusing run to the start as it was poorly signposted and I didn't know if I was going to the correct one.

1 PM

Run - Orienteering race 32:14 4.92 km (6:33 / km) +103m 5:56 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Fin5, Day 1, H40, 4.4km.
Good race, technically clean and running okay, if legs a bit tired from starting around all morning. Nice first half but then a long and east run for home. First third, a couple of minutes down.

Event: Fin5 and JWOC

10 AM

Run - Orienteering 43:06 4.35 km (9:54 / km) +75m 9:07 / km

JWOC Training. back to Teisko (as Thursday morning) for another rtun around to see what we've learned over the past few days. I mostly learned that the little bits of tube that are used to mark the controls are very hared to see - spent a lot of time being frustrated in the circle.

C • Great qual from Paul! 2
