Tiomila Leg 1
Weekend was all pure madness; no idea I was running until Thursday night, flew to gothenburg then got the majorna coach, first of all I was running 1st leg for TuMe 2, then 4th and finally 1st for SNO 3.
Pushed hard and tucked in on the straight train to 1.It was a stupid route and lost some time but easy to move up from there through the chaos. Missed 1min at 2 with everyone. Smashed it to catch a small train ahead at 9 but still thought we were a long way from the front. Then we hit the track and the pace cruised to the upper level; guess this was the front then.
Struggled to hold on and calf was agony through the 2k track leg.
Relaxed into the last technical control despite being in contact and had a 'mare at the gaffle; within 50m of mine but paniced and lost 6min.
Poor finish but top experience. Can't beleive I wasn't going to go last week!
GG SNO Calum and Toni all very generous in sorting me out over a stressful wknd!
