Nice long run together with Erik P around the south part of Uppsala. On the way back through Nåsten we had 5km with a little higher pace (3:35min/km). As usual the last 2-3km are tough, not used to this distance yet. Very nice day today.

Event: 25manna
 

25manna-relay, nice day! Super fun competition which I am always looking forward to. I had got the responsible for the last leg, the team did a good job and put me out as fourth in a big pack. Run in the pack for most of the course, and at the passing at the arena about 1km before the finish I had a taste of gold. My tactic was to be first the last 3 posts, but when I made my move I went a little to hard we went far too long in wrong direction to the third last post, the group followed me, but we had lost Tuna (Pavlo U) some controls earlier and he could now pass us. Managed to win the sprint in the pack and finished 2nd! Very good result on a very nice day.

Nice o-training in Lunsen as a preparation for 25manna in the weekend. Mass-start with Tomas, johan a and erik l.
Legs dead today, but not so strange after the last two days good training.

Nice interval session with Linné. Thought the legs should be wasted since yesterday, but no. Nice pace and feeling, hard battle with mats. 4*3min, 4*2min, 4*1min

Finally the 10k curse is somewhat broken. ALJ memorial 10k track race at Kristinebergs IP. Maybe not the best conditions with strong wind, but we were going to have a pace going in 3:05min/km and about 5people able to hold that pace so that was good. Started off good and stayed in the middle of the pack well shielded from the wind, but the pacer had trouble to keep the right pace due to the wind, some laps on low 72s and some on 75s. It was more faster than slower laps which made the first 3km go a little to fast for my taste. The pack split up after that and I ended up in the second group and now it was time to face the wind. Pace dropped considerable to around 3:10-3:15 instead. Between 5-8km my usual 10k feeling came and I consistently thought to bang out very soon. Managed to keep going at least and finished after a fast last km on a new PB with 30s, so that was the bright side. :-)
