Shell Ridge.
Opened great on the first 7 controls, catching up to Martin Kuntz who started two minutes ahead. But I couldn't keep the pace up, and after stopping to drink on the long leg I lost him. My speed slowed after that, in part because I was getting tired, and in part because I was developing a painful blister on my left foot. I was also careful on the downhills - didn't want to sprain anything before the Jukola.
