JEC relay, last leg with Fiona and Saz, 5th
SUI1 and SWE3 went out with a gap and then I went out with the pack of SWE1, SWE2, DEN1, FRA1, closely followed by SUI2. On my own to 1 and regrouped on the way to 2, Simona flew past us, had same gaffle at 3 as SWE1 and DEN1 and lost the others. Running with Elin basically the whole way and just trying desperately to keep up! Then we completely missed the compulsory bridge on the way to 12 (as did some others), I thought it would be obvious and was following Elin whilst trying to plan ahead, we hit the river to the right of the bridge and then turned right and took a while to realise and turn around so of course the Danish girl got past us. Then I made a small mistake at 13 and Elin got ahead but I caught her again just before the next river crossing. She was running way stronger than me and I didn't stand a chance at getting past her. I actually punched the penultimate control first but had nothing in my legs up the hill to the last control.
5th (behind SUI2, SUI1, DEN1, SWE1) is a very good result considering the quality of the teams but I know it should have been 4th if we'd got that bridge, and maybe even 3rd if I'd got the bridge and Elin didn't, so very annoyed with myself but I'll take that result. I have now done 2 JEC relays and been 5th both times, as well as 5th at JWOC this year, would be nice to build on that at some point
