Fraknefejden Long Distance
Yikes...
Started out ok but with some small mistakes into the controls. Lost 30s on 3 and then 1.5min on 6, although I only know how I lost 20s of that into the control. I think it was my route going around to the left. Was really surprised to be caught by Junis here (-3min). Lost him to 10 where I lost another minute going into the control (recurring pattern here). Pushed hard on the long leg to 12 but then lost 5min going into the control, ridiculous! Made a parallel error not checking my compass and just couldn't line things up.
Right before the start I decided to take off my craft top since I felt I would be way too hot. But by the time I got out to the far end of the map at #12 it was raining heavily and after a fair bit of standing around I got really cold. Should maybe have called it a day at this point. Was unfocused the rest of the race trying to deal with the cold.
Some more mistakes in the end when I was getting tired and having trouble reading the rain soaked map. Hit my knee hard going into 20, so had to walk the last few controls.
A lot of positives with this race that I have to look at. Some fast legs and I felt strong physically throughout the whole course. Glad I was able to race this weekend after a bit of a scare with the calf earlier in the week. A good training race/experience for other races this fall.
