Bicycling 25:00 [3] 8.0 km (3:08 / km) +10m 3:06 / km

Riding to the training and back - got full assortiment of Dutch weather - wind and horizontal rain. Fun!

Orienteering (Night-O) 35:13 [3] **** 3.6 km (9:47 / km) +40m 9:16 / km
ahr:176 spiked:9/15c

Training in Slurf. Was good because Elisabeth and Peter started ahead of me, so I had fun catching them. Caught both of them already to the 1st control by taking the safer route around. Ran ahead of them for 4 controls and then decided to let Elisabeth through. Caught her 2 more times, despite taking a straight route (which I knew wasn't a good idea) through dark green thorn area. Great fun despite the worst weather ever.

Riding to the evening training.

Orienteering (Night-O) 50:06 [3] ***** 4.5 km (11:08 / km) +105m 9:58 / km
ahr:170 spiked:9/13c

Picking up controls. The weather was extremely unpleasant, slight drizzle and windy all the time. The most interesting part was that running with my headlamp, I couldn't see anything because the raindrops reflected light, so I had to stop every time I needed to read the map. And I did need to read the map quite a bit since despite setting the controls earlier that day I made about 10 minutes in mistakes. Also, some thorn hit my foot going through the side of my o shoe and it really hurts now (the next morning).

Bicycling warm up/down 15:00 [2] 3.5 km (4:17 / km)

Riding home.

Orienteering race 1:18:43 [4] **** 11.26 km (6:59 / km) +100m 6:42 / km
ahr:180 spiked:18/27c

5th national competition in Vlassakers map near Amersfoort. A beautiful day and - unusually for Dutch orienteering - electronic punching was used. The course planning was nice since it was varier in terms of lengths and difficulty of legs and control locations. I was not very sharp physically because, although I have logged 9 mistakes, the furthest time loss I can count is about 3 minutes and I lost 16 minutes to Clemens. I guess some speed training would be good if I were not so lazy.

Ran together with Olaf, so only orienteered to half of the controls. Very technically challenging course, especially at night. Enjoyed a lot.
