Tiomila 2019, leg 1
I was not expecting a first leg but because I love the excitement and show I was mentally ready(physically nowhere near to be ready for this). Idea was to take it easy and take a road route choice around to 1....

BAM!
Good first 100m, then people pushing from behind and sides, some elbow fights and I fell hard on the ground getting somebody to step on the side of my back and someone on my ankle. Hard and very scary start, first thought was 'can I even run and try to finish this?' Well I tried and started with the road routechoice which worked well: I started getting used to the pain and gained a lot of places with the routechoice. But once it got into the forest it got a lot worse and I just couldn't run. I tried, shouting codes and trying to hang on the right forkings... orienteering was good, I gathered a big group at every forking but just couldn't keep up the speed... at some point I arrived at the finish!

Not what I wanted and now I have to figure out how I'm gonna make it to the first team at Jukola.... vittu
