21st
Not a great run from me at all. Was already struggling heading up the hill to the first control and lungs/legs at their max. Hanging onto the back of the group until 3 when I hesitated just before the control, thinking that I'd seen the rock just after it. Emerged from the green and absolutely everybody was gone. Trotted slowly along the bottom of the cliffs to 6 and suddenly could see Sweden, Great Britain and Finland which reignited me a bit. But unfortunately messed up 7 massively. Knew exactly where I was until just outside the circle where I just had massive brain fade, stopped reading my map and ran around the spur searching for it.
Last loop was an absolute struggle, stumbling along somewhere between walking and jogging, feeling very dizzy. Messed up the control just off a path in the clearing. Then Bulgaria caught me up which made me push a bit up the hill to the last 2 controls.
Not the debut WOC 1st leg that I wanted to make :( I think I was mainly just outclassed in fitness, so hopefully with a better leadup to WOC next year, it'll go a lot better.

23rd place
Not a good race for us. We lost 5.5mins on the first leg, so by the time I went out it had grown to 9mins. Pushed hard early on to catch a USA girl at the 3rd control, then saw noone the rest of the race so was hard to keep running fast. Found the navigation pretty easy, but was a fun area.

All fairly simple. Pushed quite hard as I had no idea what sort of shape I would be in compared to everyone else.

29th
I found myself trying to push far harder than my fitness is capable of at the moment and just felt generally rushed when making route choice decisions. Took some unnecessary climb to 2, then went too far into the red climbing up the steps to 10 which resulted in the next 5 controls being a shambles of stumbling, hesitating and misreading 13 to 14 when I was only leave 12 (30 secs lost on this one).
But considering how lucky I was to even make the start line of the final after the injuries and lack of decent training I've had this year, I'm fairly pleased with the result. An improvement on last year's disaster anyway.
