O Week Middle, M40
Ran on the terrain and map of the Middle from yesterday. Very sloppy and a bit slow, especially out of gas at the end.
First 4 controls were about course 3 level, but super hesitant and tentative and lost mega time on number 3 not being focused. Then got into a bit of a flow for the middle section, but still sloppy here and there. After seeing some guys run by me got in a pack with 2-3 guys. One of them had matching Scandi kit and socks so he must be good! I lead the pack to control 17, one of the hardest from the Middle yesterday, so happy with that.
But, then the contours hit near the end with a crazy climb. Just as about to attack the last controls, got stung by a bee which really hurt! Totally toast for the finish run in.
Tough terrain.
The winner was a guy from FK Göteborg in 36 which is really fast!
