Note
(sick)

Throat still very yukky and will probably turn into a cough, so no exercise today.

All day traveling back from O-Ringen, had a very hot day in Oslo waiting for time to pass for a late flight back. Tired from the week, particularly from the marsh rugby, but happy that I felt quite goos even if I didn't have enough strength for the last day. Think that I'm now getting a cold as my throat is sore a dry :(

Run - Orienteering race 1:31:06 [5] 10.9 km (8:21 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon 07

O-Ringen, Day 5, H21L-2. Not with it today, no focus and very tired. Big mistake at number one and then just slow and tired until a tiredness mistake near the end, lost 6 places and ended up 11th, not bad but got passed by 9th and 10th near the end but didn't have the motivation to chase them.

Warm up/down warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.5 km (6:00 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon 07

Unspecified intervals 30:00 [5]

Marsh rugby against the Americans. Brilliant marsh and an excellent game, but hugely physical. Showed them how to play the game though and had some excellent tackles in the deep and wet bog. Great way to finish the week.

Run - Orienteering race 43:31 [5] 7.1 km (6:08 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon 07

O-Ringen, Day4, H21L-2. Very late start and very hot (over 30) and very open but mostly quite easy. Died about half way around and really struggled on the 60m climb back up the hill near the end (not a fan of the planner). Finished 7th which was better than it should have been and still in 5th for the chase tomorrow.

Warm up/down warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon 07

Ski lift up to the start today so a much shorter warm-up than the past few days. Still too tired to warm-down.

Run - Orienteering race 1:14:14 [5] 11.3 km (6:34 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon 07

O-Ringen, Day 3, H21L-2. Some open today and some dull long legs across it, also some beautiful forest but very poor planning for us in it. Had one empty headed moment and lost about 1.5mins, but otherwise clean. An absolutely pointless 100m climb straight up the hill near the end nearly killed me and started to feel the heat then. Finished about 13th and somewhere about 6th overall.

Warm up/down warm up/down 25:00 [2] 3.6 km (6:57 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon 07

Jog to start, too tired at the end to do anything.

Tuesday Jul 22, 2008 #

Run - Orienteering race 35:55 [5] 4.9 km (7:20 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon 07

)-Ringen, Day 2, H21L-2. Middle race and a very early start, good as the forest wasn't crowed but not tracks at all. Lost a minute early on but otherwise clean and feeling good. Nice area apart from the last few controls which were a bit grotty. Finished somewhere in the low teens and dropped a few places overall but quite happy from such an early start.

Warm up/down warm up/down 20:00 [2] 3.1 km (6:27 / km)

Event: Oringen 2008

Run - Orienteering race 1:33:38 [5] 13.0 km (7:12 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon 07

O-Ringen, Day 1, H21L-2. Long and tough area and some beautiful forest and contours, navigated very well for most of the course and only made one mistake of a minute or two when I didn't see the flag. Also felt pretty good and ran well, but not too hard as there are still plenty of days left. Very surprised to finish 4th, especially as I ended up about 50th in the same class two years ago.

Warm up/down warm up/down 20:00 [3] 3.2 km (6:15 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcon 07

Left the jog all the way up the hill a bit late so had to run the whole thing.
