Chasing Sprint
Semifinal
2 to qualify with 2 fastest losers (3 heats). Started 6, 30s down on Lucas and 20 down on DHubmann and Kris. So decided I needed a high risk strategy to have any chance. Gustav started 10 secs ahead so ran as hard as I could to catch him but didn't quite make it before the complex section started and I lost site of him. By then however there was a bit of a group and I was just holding on to them without much idea of where I was. Every so often i could see ahead but never enough to really chase them down. Made up 1 place but not good enough, 4 ahead all qualified with both fastest loses coming from my semi.
In hindsight I should have either worked even harder to catch Gustav in first 3 controls or have done my own nav in complex section as could have saved more on better RCs and smoother running.
