20. Østlandsmesterskap in orienteering in extremely nice terrain just outside Porsgrunn/Skien. Same terrain as day 1/2 of Sørlandsgaloppen 2003.

Had a really good race today. Made some smaller mistakes on the long leg to #8 and on some controls in the green. 5:50min behind the winner Ulf Brenna, and ~4mins behind Eirik Watterdal.

This was one of the best terrains I've run in this year. Open pine forest with tall blueberry goodness.

Louise won her category, and took home a porcelain bowl and a framed porcelain picture.

19. Orienteering at Grorudaasen. The course had a "wilderness" feeling to it as it took us through some very nice nature areas. Had one leg where we ran up a slightly waterfally river up through a mossy valley (#4 to #5). Quite tough running in the heavy forest. From 10 and in the forest was quite nice. GPS says 7.07km.

Next week Ringerikekarusellen is also on Monday so technically there are races Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and 2 different ones on Thursday.

Running warm up/down 12:00 [2] 1.5 km (8:00 / km)

18. Orienteering at Sandermosen. Nice running where it was white on the map. Maybe not the best map in the world. 2 new clearcuts that weren't on the map had me a little confused. GPS says 6.87 km. Quite flat course and terrain.

Running warm up/down 10:00 [2] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)

Orienteering at Skullerudaasen. First day after my weeklong stomachflu episode. Decided I was going to jog the course and walk the hills, since I have limited energy after not eating so much the last few days. Had a great time in the east-Oslo terrain. I would have enjoyed racing this full out.

First day running in my sweet new GVOC elite top.
