SM Long-distance qualification: The plan was to keep it safe and go hard where possible.
Made a very stupid 10s mistake on the first control.. not sure what i was doing. Control 2-4 OK. Good route choice but but bad execution on the longer leg to number 5. No power in the legs at all, even had to walk a few steps in the slope... Got a bit confused in the green area and lost some 30-40s relocating. Got a few meters to the left of the 6th control, thought i was on the right and lost another 30-40s. Another 35s on #7-8 due to bad direction. Got stuck in the green area on the way to #9 but got the flag ok. The green area was not correctly mapped on the way to the 11th, the forest opened up (but was still drawn as green), thought i must have run passed the control and turned back. Lost another 20-25s here. Got the good route choice on the longer leg towards #12 but ran a bit to straight down to the track and then changed the plan a bit when it looked really bad running on the old powerline clearing. Yet again no power to run fast... Two small stupid mistakes on #13 and 14 (30-35s). Had planed to take the righthand route choice but changed my mind and ran straight on. Not sure if it was better/worse but lost a lot of time since my legs were completely dead. Rest was ok but not perfect. Thought i would die when my shoelace got stuck in a branch and i fell handless headfirst down the small cliff on the home-stretch but miraculously i got away with a small scratch. +11.13 behind Rollen and +4.55 from going to final.
Total mistakes ~4min but ran very defensive and without flow. Would have done it to the finals with a clean race but the biggest disapointment was how bad shape im in. Still the same feeling as on Drakloppet 2 weeks ago, totally powerless when the going gets tough.
