Training Log Archive: Ralph

Got my calves out on show for the first time this year. Feeling a bit battered at the end of this week, taken plenty of damage from the various orienteering sessions this week. However, things held up alright on this run (including the L calf)

Event: Stigtomtakavlen
 

Stigtomtakvalen. 3rd leg (of 3) at night.
Erik set me off with about a 2 minute (ish) lead and I managed to lose this already by the 3rd control. Ran a bit better, and then a bit worse after that. Eventually, managed to get home still in first place but only just in front of Järla who caught 4min on me.

My compass was poor, my interpretation of the contours was poor, my vegetation interpretation was also poor (although I think some Swedish mapping was a bit to blame for this part). I was nervous but now that is out of the way I think I will be more confident next time.

C • Swedish veg and Swedish con... 2

Pairs intervals with Josh (2 controls, swap on the road). Nice a relaxed straightforward training.

10milarepet. A 2 leg day/night relay designed for 10mila training.
I ran 2nd leg (night).

I ran well. I took safe routes and was not afraid to take my time when I needed to. It wasnt overly difficult but there were places to make mistakes. I was a bit hesitant into the 2nd control where I could not quite make sense of the shapes on top of the hill. I missed the 15th where I misread the contours and overshot losing around 45s. I ran pretty much alone for the entire course and I am really pleased.

Gustav ran the fastest time on 2nd leg: 55.43

C • well done! 2
