Running 30:00 [1]
Middle: back at the same place as last year's COC middle and I had a much better race although far from perfect. Five control mistakes (1, 2, 6, 8, and 10) are a few too many and all of them came when I was just about to enter the circle thinking I had already completed the leg. Still enjoyed the race/terrain and happy with being so close to the very top although I suspect no one had a really good race.
Sprint: very surprised with the race. I have felt that I have lost a bit of my edge in sprint the last year or so and with my knee problem I didn't think I would stand much of a chance, and it didn't start very well either with a 20 seconds mistake on the first control but pulled it together and ran well until 14th where I lost another 20 seconds perhaps, but the rest of the controls in that forested area went very well.
