Swiss O Week Day 4. This race was below the day 3 area, and was largely on short, grassy Alpine meadow - which should have meant it was very fast. However, a section across steep hillside at the start, and a killer hill climb at the end (150m height gain) slowed most people down.
I had a technically good race, with no significant mistakes, but really slowed down too much for the big climb.
Result: 697 points. 71st out of 121 finishers. Best split: 34th on the run-in, and 37th on a short, flat technical section across pleasant Alpine meadow.
