Big day walking around exploring the mountains with Greta. Out for hours but I will just count the time where I said "lets go to Trift" and then we ended up walking not 400 m but close to 800 m higher up a steep zigzag track. Then we ran down the other side to get back to Zermatt and the valley in the rain.

Such sore glutes the next day, using this as my excuse for why my orienteering/race was absolute crap....

shoes: inov8 X-talon 212s Jan 14

SOW stage 3, Gornergrat. A few hesitations and some smaller mistakes, but not too bad overall. Felt a bit like home in some ways - steep open farmland-ish area with rocks. Was at >2600 m though!

shoes: inov8 X-talon 212s Jan 14

SOW stage 2, Schwarzsee. Crap run in the beginning (long leg to control 3, stopped too early), but improved as it went on. Felt the altitude and pretty knackered at the end. Around 2500 m ish.

shoes: inov8 X-talon 212s Jan 14

Run from Zermatt up past Riffelalp and Riffelberg. A bit cautious about going higher as the weather was bad; it rained the whole time. Still enjoyable to go up a big hill though :) definitely felt the altitude.

Event: Swiss O week 2014

2 PM

Orienteering race 20:00 [4] 3.5 km (5:43 / km) +120m 4:53 / km
shoes: inov8 X-talon 190s Jan 14

Swiss O week prologue sprint. Awful! Pretty much everyone messed up the first control... I thought I was aiming for the right cliff on the hillside, and there was tracking right to it. But it turns out I was one too high, and there were heaps of other cliffs and things around that weren't mapped, which confused the situation. Funny story - Simone Niggli started 30 secs behind me and made exactly the same mistake! Makes me feel maybe slightly better, although also guilty, because maybe she was lead astray by me (still, she should probs know better than that!). Goodbye 2 -2.5 mins...

Yeah after that I managed to lose another 1 min 20 by stupidly not reading control description to number 4 and thinking it was on the far side of an impassable fence, which took a loooong time to get around... Bummer.

After that a further couple of bad routes involving extra climb :(

Still, strangely enough, I actually enjoyed it. Will endeavour to orienteer properly in the coming days, for a change...

Florence morning jog. The best time of day to be running! No heat, no crowds. Run included a trip around the outskirts of the Boboli gardens and the Piazzale Michelangelo.

Run in Zermatt with Sam from the US team. Another really hot day! Went up a hill and back down.

Zermatt is so incredibly beautiful :)
