Woken up at about 4 am british time. Had a banana and then tried to wake myself up a bit by running around.

Kjelle told me when he gave me the map that there was a group just infront. I pushed hard for the first four controls and caught them. Two of them came with me but one made a mistake and we left him. I spent the middle third of the race with Malungs OK Skogsmårdarna 2. I could feel the pace slowing though as he got tired and we started to get a bit scrappy. At about control 20 Oli caught me. This is what i really needed. This injection of pace was enough to leave the Malungs guy. I was nackered at this point and couldn't challenge Oli at all. I was preparing myself for a sprint for the line when i saw Oli go slightly of line into the 4th last. This allowed me to get away and get back just infront of him.
I am quite satisfied with my run. Although a long way of the pace that Oli was running for the whole course i managed a solid run and took 7 places. I beat Runesson and Christian Bobach time wise too.
Team wise i can see the foundations for a very good performance in the future. We have a lot of young guys coming through to replace the old guys we have now. Gustav says we will win it in 2015. You saw it here first folks.
Looking forward to next year already.

Attempted a warm down but could only manage a shuffle. Got back to my house in Sheffield at 1 am which meant a 21 hour stint awake.
