Finnish long distance champs A-final
From the start some challenging route choices and a lot of climbing. My legs felt so exhausted only after a few hills and I knew this was gonna be a long day. After yesterday, I decided that 20mins behind the lead is good for me(if I don't make mistakes) because I wasn't expecting the spot in the final. Made a mistake on #4, was looking for the control too low and the forest was too dense so I didn't see the hill where the control was. Coming to #8(the long leg) I was looking at the options, either pretty straight or way way around(leg 3,5k, around 5,5k). I was really trying to figure this out and finally ended up going around. Lost 4:30min to the lead but that was the best option for me, I would have been much slower going straight. After the that, I got to the butterfly loop and had already read most of it in advance. Sadly, going from #12 to #13 I lost my way a bit to the right. Luckily, I noticed that pretty soon and got back on track. After that it was just a fight until that last uphill going to #21. Thinking to myself, I said that when I'm up that hill, the race is done for me. From there it was just rolling down to the last control. And I still had some energy left cause I was the fastest Men Elite on the finish chute ;)
What a race, SO EXHAUSTED! Now time to rest well!!
