MTBO race (WOC relay) 1:00:05 [4]
Not the best race to end with but good fun all the same. Nice fast riding.Got lost in the bush at number 2, when i didnt see the track stopping half way through. Funny how it would have taken me 30sec to relocate normally, but with a bike it became so difficult and i dont know why.

MTBO race (JWOC long) 1:49:00 [4]
Not good today, not good at all. Enormous mistakes when i didnt properly check my compass at junctions which led to large distances being covered in sligtly wrong directions.

MTBO race (JWOC middle) 59:26 [4]
Reasonable ride for 15th place. Bit of stuff up at the start with si not working and me desperatly searching for one. Ended up not gettingthe 1min to look at my map. Luckily 1st 2 were easy. Lost maybe a minute on 6 but all the rest was clean

Run 45:00 [2]
Cruising round the lake from our accommodation. Was really craving a run.
Wednesday Aug 20, 2008 #
MTBO 2:00:00 [3]
Much better training today. First a route choice exercise with Maquita, then a short course with Rob following me and finally a long leg back to the accomodation. Tracks a bit crappier today but made for more interesting orienteering.

MTBO 1:01:00 [3]
2 course on Polish terrain after arriving here yesterday, resonably fast riding and nice and flat, but not the most interesting terrain really. Speant a bit of time getting used to being allowed to ride off track. First course was good and smooth, almost had the whole thing planned on the way to no.1. 2nd was messy but probably learned more so alls good.

Orienteering race 1:24:18 [5]
Race near home, had a shocker. Got completely confused by the vegetation and attempted to relocate when I didnt need too. So bad, am I getting worse.......
Friday Aug 15, 2008 #
MTBO 57:00 [3]
Rocked around a course on Kallan that Per designed for me. Actually a great area for mtbo, maybe could try and convince some of the swedes to try it.

Orienteering 19:56 [5]
Club sprint champs on Sommarland near home. Great detailed themepark sprint, but I managed to accidentally run out the exit gate, which was one way. So then was stuck outside the park and my race was pretty much over. Highly ammusing for the rest of the club to see me run back through the start at the parks entrance.

Mountain Biking 1:40:00 [3]
Did the ride from the other week in reverse with the wingle track as the downhill and up the gravel. Nice, feeling more comfortable on the bike and all the terrain running seems to have made my legs reasonably strong for climbing.

Run 1:45:00 [3]
Beautiful run along the coast in the evening after a long day with the kids at sommarland and vattenland. Felt so comfortable running it was awesome.
Sunday Aug 10, 2008 #
Mountain Biking 2:10:00 [3]
Ride to Högklint, some sightseeing and then home again. Found some motorbike tracks which were awesomely muddy, raining the whole time again.
Saturday Aug 9, 2008 #
Orienteering 1:10:00 [3]
Second experiance of Gotland orienteering. Nice terrain, flat and vague, sort of like Rotoiti. Good training and then a swim in the lake after.
Friday Aug 8, 2008 #
Mountain Biking 2:40:00 [3]
Best mountain bike ride since I've been here on some great tracks. Pushed it hard round the 7km loop twice. Then got seriously lost on the way home and had to ring Per for directions (only 10km in the wrong direction!) So a litlle longer than expected.
Thursday Aug 7, 2008 #
Orienteering race 1:06:56 [4] 7.6 km (8:48 / km)
Training race in Gotland. Different from any other Swedish terrain I've been on. Sanddunes etc. Almost like being home again!
Wednesday Aug 6, 2008 #
Mountain Biking 1:30:00 [3]
Around the old military training area. Interesting only because it was so boring.
Monday Aug 4, 2008 #
Mountain Biking 2:10:00 [3]
Insanely wet ride from Vimmerby. Pissing down. Mainly on gravel roads, but found one little bit of track up the biggest hill in the area so rode that twice. Good fun.
Sunday Aug 3, 2008 #
Run 45:00 [2]
Cruise in the evening to get away from screaming kids. Ahhh the serenity of Swedish forest.
Friday Aug 1, 2008 #
Mountain Biking 1:40:00 [4]
Hitting the small trails from home up to the skifield, then half an hour picking blueberries before taking the gravel roads home.
