I felt really heavy jogging to the start but I still wanted to fight for a spot in the final. First 30min were a total disaster physically, I had no energy to run, none at all. Walked all the hills and was so slow(atleast I thought so). Going into the last long leg, I found my pace and I started pushing more. After that leg, we had 3 short, very technical legs before the finish shoot. I kept my focus and found them on the flow. I still kept pushing all the way to the finish and was so tired and trashed I thought I didn't make it... After my cool down, not only to my surprise, I learned that I made the A-final. THE A-FINAL!!!!
(PS: Take that whoever said no before the quali.)

Didn't have that last bit of motivation for this one but I was ready to go out there and enjoy. I didn't really agree with the mapper tho... First 5 controls were so badly marked on the map(control circles and leg lines cut in too many places and the color was too lightly printed, not IOF standard color) that I was not able to ready it properly but I still enjoyed it. Carcross center looked really nice and this wasn't your typical sprint as most of it was in the sandy woods or on gravel roads.

This was fun! Sadly I had my thumb on one of the controls and had to go back to that one, the lead guys coming towards me on that leg, sadly.. But So much fun!!

First leg fun time! This time it actually felt like fun, not like in Latvia at WOC... Emma started at the same time and v fast she started! So once we got to the forest I had to speed up a little(lol). The guys were following me just behind until #3 but going to #4 I sprinted a bit on the trails to see if I could shake off the others. Only Adam Woods(or Eric kemp, can't remember which one) kept up with me. Getting around #4, he went too high up on the right and I picked up the flag easily on my left. After that I was on my own all the way until change-over. Going through the spectator loop, I gave a bit of push to my speed to give more of a lead for my team mates. And it turned out pretty well for us ;)

Today I wanted to do a solid performance with NO mistakes and so I did, as easy as that(NOT). Start: flipped my map and couldn't find #1, oh right, it was right next to the start point on the map, haha. Focused from early on, I kept my speed to a minimum and my focus high. Every time I thought about running harder, I urged myself to look at the map again and again. Through the whole course, oddly with the slow speed, I found a very good flow and that kept me going. Only a small hesitation to #10 and #12. After crossing the railway on my way to #16, I caught up to Michael Svoboda and he helped me run a bit faster at the end plus we had a good sprint battle on the finish shoot. Fun race and a very stunning view by the lake at the arena!
