25manna: All alone route choice to #1, everybody except for one guy follwing me was running at the bottom of the hill. From then on good company almost all the way to the finish. Shouldn't have done "my own thing" after leaving the path to #4, losing approx. 20-30s there I guess. Checking the forking our variant was quite a bit longer, especially to #1 where some runners could take the path almost straight to the control. This was most likely already the deciding point of this start leg.
Great 31st place of LS-37!!!
