A modified version of Rhonda's regular class. I wonder how much tougher the regular class is? Cause this was pretty tough.. A mix of yoga, pilates & strength. Very good & fun! Cool to have your own gym/studio in the barn.

Va lite lessen att jag missade Löftans seniorupptaktsträningshelg & Skinkcupen.. inte nu längre! Helgen här med natt-orientering i winter wonderland, jättemysig tillställning med trevliga ol-vänner, god mat & yoga-pilatespass på söndagsmorgnen va verkligen toppen!!

I was a bit sad to miss my Swedish club Löftan's trainingweekend & traditional xmas ham cup.. not so much anymore! The weekend here with night-o in winter wonderland, awesome get-together with nice o-folks, delicious foods and a special yogalates class with Rhonda early Sunday morning was really wonderful!
Tack så mycket - Charlie & Rhonda Thank you so much!!

Spent big part of the evening trying to install Garmin + Quickroutes so that I could download my very first gps-route from orienteering.. Pretty soon realized that I can't use Quickroutes on my mac. Then installed it all on Mike's old laptop. Took photos of the maps. Got as far as getting a route onto the map, but it didn't look right, tried moving it with a few points.. but as I was getting more tired also more frustrated - so I gave up.

Ratlum Mountain Holiday International Night-O Long course

About 10-15 cm snow on the ground (and on everything else) and snowing. It was just great to be out there with a headlamp. Beautiful.
Went straight to 1, or tried to, got stuck in mountain laurel or something. From 5 to 6 I got stuck again as I went to low in the "light green". Had trouble finding 8, had to go back out to the trail. Leaving 8 I couldn't find the trail that goes to 9, was down by the water turned around to eventually find the trail junction, it was hard to see because branches heavy loaded with snow was hanging down over it. By 13 I got a bit surprised from the super quiet photographer.. maybe that's what scared me to mess up 14 so bad? I attacked it without an attackpoint (my specialty) and so I didn't find it, went to the trail and until I got oriented where I was on the trail it took me a while.

ran 4.72 km

Ratlum Mountain Holiday International Night-O Short course

Certainly not every day you get to do this so I went out on the second course too.. Some of the controls were the same. Had trouble finding 5, couldn't see where the trail bended and couldn't think of something else to use as attackpoint. Had some trouble with 7 (2 on the other course) this time. Again a flash went off by 10 (13) and then by 11. Explanation: Charlie told his local hunter to put up his cameras aimed at these controls, some pictures actually came out good =)
When we looked at the pictures from these cameras there were also pictures from earlier, showing what the hunter puts them up for.. a buck, a bobcat, a coyote and a bear(!) See picture: http://www.attackpoint.org/userprofile.jsp/user_44

ran 2.32 km
