About 120 people taking part so a proper mass start. Before which though we did a bit of rockgympa to warm up. I was 71st best in the quiz (pretty bad) so I started decently far back but with the easy start it's not much of a stress. Settled in on the first part with Albin and Olle until the forest and made sure I stayed with the front group. That broke up and came together on the first circle a bit but not going too fast. At the centre control then Rasmuss and Oskar had a fire going and loads of fika so got some fuel there. Second loop was fun and I still felt good. David messed up somewhere and I led it for a bit. Good fun. Second time of fika included warm glogg and brioche.
Next loop was when I started to feel tired, after the first marsh slog I was ok but the speed lifted on the track, before we all got totally lost looking for the massive march. Embarrasing. Took a longer fika the last time and warmed up my compass thumb a bit over the fire.
Final part was pretty rough with a massive marsh. I hung on and was not reading my map here. Fine one we got to the track at the end.
This was fun! Also I was happy to stay with the front group for the whole thing, though it was a bit shorter.
