Mike's 10 mile tempo workout with Mathias at Fornebu. We went out at 3:30 pace. I should have probably dropped off, but stayed with him til 6k. Quite tired themn, and slowed down to 3:45 and eventually down to 4. Recovered a bit at 12k, and made a goal to break 60 minutes. Ran 3:45 the last 4 km.

Mathias beat me with 4 minutes and advanced significantly in the Tour:
T: 9:28:24
M: 9:41:22

Easy run with Mathias on trails to Muren and back.

3rd day of racing, but legs felt good today. OBIK race at the same place as yesterday, but organized by Nydalen. Had another great race, with less than 1 min mistakes. Caught Mathias on the way to 7. Followed him into 7 and 8, which was good because he was navigating like Thierry in that section. Then I took my own route down to the marsh to 9, which was faster then going straight. Stepped in a rock hole and hurt my shin a bit after 9. 45s mistake on 11.

Fastest time on the course. Results.

Geoform Race in Maridalen, same terrain as Norwegian champs last year. Two wildly different terrain types today. The first half was open marshy terrain with broad contour features. The second half was much finer detail and very short visibility. Had to almost walk that section. Had a good race today. Went slower in the technical section so lost some time because of that, but made no major mistakes. Fastest time on the course. Results.

OBIK race at Tanumskogen. Middle distance on quite rough terrain in west Olso. Not a great race today, too confused by the map scale (1:5000).

10x400m at outdoor-Bislet with Mathias, but got stomach pains after 4 so had to quit. Somewhere around 67s per lap.
