WOC 2017 sprint relay.
Worked hard the last few weeks to be on the start line but I felt pretty good when it came down to it. Cat and Ralph had done a great job and I was sent out in 2nd just a couple of seconds behind and in the pack. Things went well and I was running strong up until the last couple of controls in the slope. I knew that these would be important but the constant up and down steep banks had taken its toll and I wasn't thinking clearly. I was led off line by Jonas going to the shorter forking and Martin also missing and I ran onto the wrong hill losing a lot of time. I pushed as hard as I could to the finish but couldn't make any inroads into the pack that had caught me. Gutted, but after the last month I guess I'm not too surprised that I struggled at the end after the past month. It is no consolation that I wasn't the only one to go walkabouts in this section.
