Relay Champs WOOO!
Third leg for OOC 1. Eric had a solid run coming in around 1minute after Graeme from Vancouver. Jeff ran a really fast second leg and managed to get the lead for me. Very nervous, cause I'd never been in this stressful position before, and I knew I had some very fast runners behind me.
However I think I handled my nervousness/adrenaline really well and I had a clean and fast run. Was looking over my shoulder a lot to see if Magnus was in sight, but I never saw him. Heard that i had started with a three minute lead at the spectator control, so I was able to relax a tiny a bit on the last loop, and focus on my technique. Managed to actually gain another 2 minutes on second place by the finish.
One of the easier maps run on in the week, but I was running quite fast. I'm very proud of my race, and my team and the other Ottawa teams with their great races as well.
