Smalandskavlen.

Was supposed to run the 3rd leg (~8k) for GMOKs 3rd team, but then people were sick so got moved to the 4th leg (11.3).

Unfortunately Viktor broke his lamp on the 2nd leg and didn't finish. Had to run as part of a mass start after the winning team had finished.

Was an ok race. Lost a minute to the 2nd, got confused going into the control and followed a guy to the further forked control. Got behind the pack here. The rest of the race was good technically, but slow in the green/slope areas.

After standing around freezing the night before, I was worried my craft top under my o-top would be warm enough. Really shouldn't have worn it at all though, since it had warmed up considerably by the time we raced. By the third control or so I was already way too hot and was overheating up every climb throughout the race. Didn't feel too amazing physically otherwise either.

Really loved the fast and open map and terrain and I ended up with a good result. Ended up having the fastest time of the GMOK runners on the 4th leg (Daniel on the 1st team lost over 5min reading a wrong leg).

Tune-up for Smalands.

30s,1min,2min,2min,1min,30s @ Mossens.

Control picking session at Bjorndammen. Very detailed and hard to read map, even at 1:7500. Hard to keep a good flow, and to stay ahead with the reading.

Took a few controls to wake up and for the sun to fully light up the woods. Nothing like getting your feet wet in the cold swamps first thing in the morning. :)

4x1km, 2min rest with Malin at idrottsplatsen. Did a few accelerations afterwards as well.
