Eyes are better, adventure race and soon Herräng begins!
My eyes feel pretty good now and I can see fairly sharp. after all circumstances. Previous weekend Hanna visited me here in Örnsköldsvik and we went to a dancemarathon (8h non-stop dance) and also practiced some lindy together.
During the week just finished I've started training again and felt good enough going to Åre this weekend, where the nordic Championship in adventure racing took place. The competition began with 25K kayaking where rivers of class 2 were included. I hit some rocks but the kayak is still alive :) I have a stable sea kayak and because of that, the kayaking is slow for me (stable=slow). So far I can't afford a faster kayak but now I'm definitely looking for faster ones.
After the water we kept going by running 4500ft to the peak of Åreskutan and down to Huså, a map distance of 15K and finished by a mountainbike ride of 35K in the forest back to Åre. I ran about the same time as the leader group and lost about 10-15 min on the biking, so with a faster kayak I should be top10-top15. There are really fast participators and the winner get a free entrance to the famous competition Coast-to-coast in New Zeeland.
It felt really good competing and actually doing my best time ever (5h52m), despite the kind of bad loading for the competition. And I've only trained good for the race since I came back to Sweden, 7 weeks ago. Now it's gonna be more dancing though, with dance marathons Wed-Fri I hope, for me, and then I'm leaving for Herräng one week. Yay! I'm excited!! And the weekend after that, my schedule again tells me to compete endurance. It's a 24hour non-stop running race, in couples. So two and two, you are supposed to do orienteering and pick as many checkpoints as possible in 24 hour and no-one is supposed to make all of them. I'll see if I can start, my companion had some probs w/ his calf but I hope we will make it!
