23. Districtchamps in long distance near Gardermoen. Didn't have the best start, and made a 1.5min mistake on #3. The terrain was quite bad at in the beginning so it was hard to find motivation to continue pushing. Luckily the terrain got better after the watercontrol at #10. The map is a little deceiving, because the entire south side of the map is just one giant logged area with trees of various ages. Still a crazy amount of forest management, never seen anything like it. Even the white forest had lots of deadfall from forest thinning activities. One big mistake right at the end. Geir Moholdt ran really well today, under 1:30. Strangely a little tired the whole race, maybe I ran to hard on Thursday.

Had some problems adjusting to the 1:15 000 scale. GPS measured 14.24km.

22. Nordmarkskarusellen from Låkeberget in Nydalen. Had my best race of the season. Ran quite controlled into all the controls. My kind of course in my kind of terrain. Rain with thundershowers that ended halfway through. Forgot my GPS watch today.

Tried to run as much straight as possible, and not hesitate. Had a little extra distance coming into 5, but don't think I lost much since I avoided the rocky valley. 370m climb on 6.5km.

Found out that a Norwegian horse has been caught at the Olympics in equestrian show jumping.

21. OSI training-race from the Holmenkollen ski-stadium. Quite a bit of trail running, so tried to run hard. Some good route-choice legs. Most of the trails are competition ski-trails which were really undulating. Some nice control picking from #5-#9.

Tried the one second recording on the GPS. A very hilly course, almost 300meters on 5.8km. Legs felt really good, didn't really feel tired when I finished.

Won this race with 1:20.

Heard Bolt smoking everyone on the radio while going to the event.
