Venla!!!!
1st leg for the OK Linne 2 team. We had a good start number since we were 48th last year, so it was a second row start, ~ 890 teams. These mass starts are CRAZY!! its life threatening!!
I had a good technical race....lost ~1 min on 1 control. Otherwise, I was super careful all the way and navigated to all the right splits and didnt see any other controls in the forest, so that was a great feeling! Very fun forest and great map, v. tough and physical though.
It was SUPER hot running in the heat of the day, and i really felt like i was running in the Aussie summer. I never felt very fast or good when running.....not to worry, it was still fun. I was 80th, 4:20 behind the fastest.
Out last 2 runners wern't so satisfied with their runs and we finsihed in 62nd. Not so bad for a second team. Already talking about improving for next year!
