GOF Night Cup. My first real Swedish night race, perhaps not confident enough.
Don't really like my route to 1. The two other guys that I started with (Wave mass start) went left and got there ahead of me. Although I suspect they might have crossed the frozen lake. Couldn't find the trail at the start under the snow and ended up just running straight over the hill pretty much.
After that things went well until the second loop of the butterfly where I lost 2min. On both 7 and 9 I was running hard to catch Mikael and not paying enough attention, and we stopped short both times. It always seems like you've gone farther than you have at night.
10 was beautiful, didn't get distracted by two others and spiked it ahead of them. Fast recovery on 11 but maybe 30s lost. Ankle tweak on way to 12 and lost Mikael here.13 was annoying. On line to spike it ahead of two others behind when they suddenly veered right down the slope to another fork.
15 and 16 were awful. Really treacherous and thick along the icy cliffs (poor course setting?). Really tired at this point so was doing some funny things as well. Lost 5min here I think.
Overall ok. Had fun.
Was super cold while warming up and decided to wear my overpants. Too hot again though. Overheating throughout race. Lessons learned...
