GLOF Long. Started steady and stayed just left of the line to the 1st, came out by the little lake, west of the control and came in from the trail. Fastest split by over a minute! Missed 2 to the right and dropped 45 seconds. Got a bit stuck in the beginning of the leg to 3 and lost one minute to Patrick S, but did not make any mistake. Fastest split to 4, going more or less straight and fastest split to 5 going around on the road. Missed 6 to the right and dropped 45 seconds again. Very strong on the next 4 legs, winning 3 splits and 1 second behind on one. Lost 30 seconds attacking control 11, not reading the map carefully enough. Was in the lead by around a minute at the map exchange. Really struggled to pick a route to 15 and stood still for at least 20 seconds, before finally deciding to go right, out to the road, and around. Lost 30 seconds to Patrick S, but still had the second fastest split. I think it would have been faster to go straight instead. Navigated pretty well the rest of the way, but started to bonk towards the end and simply could not hold the pace anymore. Patrick got me on faster running the last few kilometers.

A good and steady race, just a couple of smaller mistakes, but not fit enough to cross 15 gigantic ravines ;)
