Training Log Archive: Danish Dynamite

Tiomila leg 8. A strong team performance today. Finished 27th 11 places up from last year.

In terms of my own orienteering, I’m really pleased with 90% of the run. Just for the remaining 10% I orienteered like I was a M14 Junior again. I lost close to 5 mins over two straight forward legs, one of them being number 7 which the control under the highway between the two maps. Bad direction in both cases down to me pushing hard and not stopping to orienteer.

I really enjoyed my race. Doing my own orienteering for the most part, but I saw quite a few people out there. I ran with Paimion Rasti and Kils OK for a while in the middle/end. An exciting highlight was being behind Daniel Hubmann for a few controls and dare I say, I even picked a better route choice than him

Morning run before breakfast. I’ll be running 4 or 5 hours earlier than this tomorrow, but this is the most prep I’m willing to do.

4x15s/45s

Simon and Lukas ended up renting a car to drive out to a training map. My first team privileges managed to grab me a spot in the car.

We ran our own courses with a mixture of set out flags and not. Quite tricky terrain. Running with Simon and Lukas the first 3 quarters or so, and then alone for the last section. Got very confused at the 2nd last control when I found an unmarked cut area. Stood around there confused for an embarrassingly long 5 mins.

Early morning run up the hill near the cabins. Scenic view at the top

Swedish League #5 - M21-3. Very enjoyable terrain. Quite hard to run fast though as I never really felt like I physically maxed out. Performance was not a disaster, but also not very good.

2 frustrating 60-90s mistakes. Will go into them later

C • Västerbotten! 12

Traveling north to tiomila. I can’t be bothered to run at 9 or 10 pm so I’ll take the day off. I’ll do a shake out before the 2nd leg of the journey

Checking the sprint maps in teleborg so lots of stopping and starting.

Had planned on intervals, but it was 7:30-45 by the time I finished walking around checking another portion of the map. No motivation to run and feeling quite tired.

Decided to just do 10x 20s/40s to turn over the legs.
