Got super hyped for this race after my long performance and had one job, come back in the pack. The start was a gigantic 'bunfight', got a little shove from NOR before FRA then sent me spinning and for good 5 seconds I lost all sense of direction. Came out of the funnel way back in 40th so spent the first couple of controls fighting to get into the lead pack. Once in the lead pack I made sure to nail my forkings and then run as hard as possible to move up the field. Once I made it to the spec run through I worked out i was definitely in the mix so just held it together on the last couple of legs. Was with a SUI guy at this point and had no choice but to blindly follow him as he jumped off 5m cliffs. Lucky to survive that race and sent Zac of +41 secs to the leader. Most physical/exciting race I've ever done.
