Event: Tiomila 2016
 

10mila 2nd leg

Willy ran amazing on leg one, came back 8th. I saw him at the first tv control in the top 10 so was able to think about how thing wer going to play out.

I was actually really relaxed. I am feeling very confident in my own orienteering at the mo plus I had imagined it all happening before and i understood if I try to do anything special I would totally ruin everything.
Told the coaches before the start "Willy has done the real work so I just need to not make any mistakes and not loose too much time to the leaders and we would be in a good position".
And I remembered some wise thoughts from scotia "Most people are shite bags and shit it at the relays" basically stay relaxed if you want to run well.

My plan for the race was to relax the first big hill, be safe and find big safe attackpoints. Turns out I lost 20 places on the first hill, loads of really good teams smashing it but knew some would come back later in the course or they wer beyond what we was actually aiming for (OK Södertörn not actually aiming to win 10mila and I was not going to be selfish and risk everything to keep up). But after no2 I pretty much held a good pace to the leading group (actually caught the leading pack up after 70% of the course).

Any way I ran pretty clean and came back 31st with some tv time and comentry talking about OK Södertörn.
Followed Fredrik who ran great too! Our team wasn't expecting to hand over to långnatten in the top 30 and probably the first time this has happened since mid-90s

Disappointed to finish 71st in the end after the dreams was so high After the first few legs, but we learnt a lot at this relay and it's not easy to get 10 guys to all run well on the same day.
