shoes: VJ Bold 2014
relay champs Stauffen, DAK: 2/32
with Marina & Sandra
Did the start leg (4/32).
We all did some mistakes, but almost everybody did, and we are very happy with the final result.
Already at the starting point - after 200m - I had the feeling to be behind, but we three had told each other that we wanted to do our own controlled races and I reminded myself to do so.
I had the easiest first control and no problems to nr. 2. To 3 which was the 1st unforked control, I did a 1' mistake and when I got it, I found myself in a train in which I saw the best runners of our category.
It was very tough in these deep blueberry bushes and I lost time compared to the runners in front of me continuously. Also did two more mistakes to 5 and 7.
Therefore when I left nr 7 I did not see anyone of my category anymore. From there I did a clean and lonely race while some of my concurents in front of me must have searched and finished behind me.
Marina then searched her - more difficult - nr 1 for quite some time before she did a good race with the best time on her leg and came back 1st together with the girl from OLV Luzern. Like all three of us Sandra had a good but not very good run and came back 1' behind the leaders as 2nd which is a very good result for the three of us. Great!
