skidor (strömsfors) 1:45:00 [3]
First 1 hour by my own in a very slow tempo, then with Ante a bit faster. I and Ante try to ski a bit off-piste, a very funny and tough challenge! Me like :)
While I was skiing by my own a man catch me up. When he was sure it was me he ask me a question he have been thinking of for a long time but never get a chance to ask. So now in the ski track he ask me if I have planned to take that long route choice around to the 8 control (or witch one it was, I don't remember) at the middle-distance at JWOC 2008 in Gothenburg. I know exactly witch control he mean and I should never again run that way to that control. I told him I get a BIG blackout, for the hot weather or something. I was so disappointed afterwards over that control and couldn't forgive me self for a long time why I run so long around. It was no doubt that the best and only possible way was to run straight on, over the hill. I run a long way beside the hill, and then over it! But I get the control ;) Now afterwards I can think on it and be satisfied with my race, indeed I took all the controls without mistakes, I just took one stupid route choice. And yeh, you shouldn't do that in a final, it cost me so much...But today I realised I can look back on it and do something good about it! It was very comic and unexpected to get that question now, two years later in a ski track. What are people thinking about???
When you fall, stand up tall and come back for more!
