An extremely good run. I am very satisfied. I felt quite tired all the course but I still did a very good race. Today was my 1st real race on 1:15 000 and it went very well. I ended up in 3rd place which is very good for me. It started with a good start to no.1 and then I took it easy and was technical to no.2. No. 3 was also a good run and again, I took it fairly easy. To no.4 I decided not to risk it so i ran out to the road. Fredrik used that route choice as well. I spiked no.4 and no.5. The stretch 5 - 6 looked quite difficult so I took it easy and spiked it. No.7 was also hard and I ended up at the bottom of a cliff a bit farther down from the control. I could have lost... say 30 seconds. To no.8 I was going to run around the marsh to the left but ended up doing some kind of zigzag through the marsh... I don't know how that happened but now that I look at the splits I see that I was 1st on that stretch... ??? xP The rest of the controls pretty easy and I spiked them all except for a little detour to no.9. Maybe lost around 15 - 20 seconds. I am very happy with this race. :)
