26/2003 In Vihanti

MONDAY

24' morning run with Minna. Boring and fast route (total uphill 5m, quite typical
here in Vihanti)
49' football & strength (abdomen, backs, push-ups etc). Quite good training!
52' running in the evening (accelerating the last 2min)

 Running. Good final spurt (HR)

TUESDAY

20' running + 45' orienteering (Middle Qualification in Mehtäkylä).
20' running + 35' orienteering (Middle Final in Lumikuru).
Terrains were quite demanding despite there weren't hills. Especially this "final"
in Lumikuru was quite tricky. Almost all the paths & ditches had vanished and
my Polar told that total climbing during 6km was 20m. Marsh after marsh and
some small rocky areas to tell that it's a fine rocky terrain (was it really
that nice Jomppa!?) But, two tough trainings in hot conditions. Good.

FRIDAY

80' tennis (110' total). I got some terrible pain in my back in the morning
(it wasn't because of tennis)!

SATURDAY

Orthostatic reaction -test in the morning. Program said that everything is okay.
So say my feelings too.
20' morning run, good feeling.
20' warming up + 35' orienteering + 5' running. I started
about 1min behind and caught the lead quite early. Speed was good and suddenly I
was running by myself. Couple of controls went nicely but then I checked wrong
code number (on 10th control) and lost ~1min. After that I was happy that I
didn't see anyone ahead of me. Running had felt very easy all the time and then
I started to secure the win and take everything seriously. BUT mistake came
with inevitable style, on 2nd last control and Janne V punched before me. I 
managed to catch him, but Janne was far more faster from the last control.
Embarrassing mistake and end of the competition. But I have say, that I enjoyed
the terrain and running very much so I'm not that disappointed.
Total mistakes: 2min 30sec. Too much.
30' running. Tired and toes hurt (it's difficult to run after competition
on same day. Will I have a problem in Switzerland?
