Eady run with Louise around Østernvann, from Østernvannsvingen. Nice sunny day out.

Urban orienteering race at Blindern. A tricky and fun course around the university and surrounding areas.

#10 was a really tricky control. I think the fastest route is south. I didn't realize that the control was on the bottom of the wall, so my route wasn't as good. Tried to use the road sections to read ahead as much as possible.

Got lucky on 16. The control is on the building corner, but this could be interpreted as being on the top or bottom of the wall. It was indeed on top. It is a similar type of situation as at the COC sprint.

Then came the insane 24-33 part... Coincidentally this is where I ran out of control descriptions in my holder, as the last ones were folded over. They had put out extra flags, so almost every tree had a flag. Got through it without DSQ'ing.

Warm up with Louise.

8x2 laps at Bislett with Nydalen. Slow first lap, but then settled into a nice even pace. On the last two Anders V started pushing the pace quite hard, and I had to let him go.

Little time today, so short warmup/cool down.

Night-O at Veritasskogen. Mix of streets and forest. Lost about a minute at 5, when I couldn't find the cliff in the green. Interesting route choice to #7. Climbed a fair bit extra, and should have cut down earlier. Good bearing on #10 and #18. Results.

5x6 minute hill intervals with Nydalen. Slippery trails, good to have oshoes today. With the pack on the first 2, but had to let the two Anders'es go on the last ones. Good workout, we are half way to last year's biggest workout of 6x10 mins.
