Bergen Sprint Camp - Mass Start
3rd
Somehow managed to make it into the top 6 so got to race the mass start in the A final :) Racing against Galina, Sigrid, Kristine, Ingeborg and Anne.
Struggled to pick the runners choice map as I couldn't see routes to a couple of controls. Ended up picking the map that had the easiest controls to reach. Which ended up being the 2nd best option probably.
Started off just following the pack through the first few controls. Then took the flat, round route to 4 as I knew the area as our accommodation was there. Went from the back of the group to leading but I hadn't planned ahead the long leg back to 6 so hesitated and let Galina in front. Struggled massively to get up the steps and Galina and Sigrid put almost 20secs into me.
Leading the chase back through the spectator control then we all split to different runners choice controls. Really struggling up the hill back to the common control and had to walk a bit. The others all caught me here and just tried to hang on as best I could.
Managed to hold off Ingeborg to finish in 5th. Then later got told that 2 girls had run straight past #7, so got promoted to 3rd.
