World Cup middle distance,
Pure joy running in the sandstone terrain. felt that my training camp in march was a good preparation. Had a very comfortable feeling all over the race and stayed cool in the tricky sandstone parts. Amanda caught up with me but in the beginning we took different route choices. Was very pleased that my body almost felt normal again and that I could keep her speed. I had a plan to every control and focused on my own orienteering which was my goal.
Ended up on the 34th spot amongst 93 starters. That's my best world cup race result this year and my best result on an international middle distance event ever. (Haven't run so many yet though)
This years WC results sum up my year pretty well:
I had good start, qualifying to all races at EOC. During the summer my body was sending signals that something was completely wrong but I listened too late. Luckily the year had a happy end and it gives me a boost to fight for my dreams.
