Went out on 4th, came back 2nd. Job done in that sense but again was just not quick enough over the ground. Technically close to perfect with a 10s miss on 5.

First IOC podium which is nice. Solid enough race technically and again gave it what I had physically. Caught sight of Hugh early which was something to aim for. Happy with the result as didn't have more on the day. Speed still to come.
Comments
In contrast to last year, at 11 I was +11:33 and at the finish I was +11:13. So I fixed the problem of dying at the end, but replaced it with being too slow at the start. A mostly downhill finish helps me I suppose.

Gave it all that I had from the start which just was nowhere near enough. Could see Neil heading to 5 on and off. 9 was a hugely disappointing control as you could see it from 8. Neil slowed into 12 which helped me there and I caught him at 14 which was probably the hardest control on the course. Silly mistake on 15 not seeing the re entrant under the circle dropping 45s and Darren caught me 6 minutes and Shane 3. Hung on as much as I could to the finish but didn't even really manage that with Neil pipping me to the finish.
I've kind of known training hadn't being going perfectly but part of me thought that it was just that I was assessing myself in Sweden. This was a bit of a wake up call in that sense and it is passed time to work out what's been up. The theory was overtraining and the feelings today after 3 days rest suggest that might be right. Annoying to have lost my HRM as my heart was the muscle that I felt was the limiting factor today which is a change from recently. Actually it was quite sore at the end but I don't think in a bad way.

Original plan was to do 4 or 5. Felt good, in with Hilda and Moa, just behind Ross. Ground was very slippery with the hail/snow. Tightness in the upper right hamstring so I decided to leave it at 2. Intervals were mostly for the brain anyway.

The cycle home was a bit rough.
