Same place as the day before. Ran ok for a while, lost a lot of time on the ninth control where Jarla boy caught me for the fifth time... led him the long leg to eleven but missed the control a little. punched twelve ahead, then died. Wasn't actually aware he'd got ahead en route to 13.
Struggled badly for the rest of the course. Happy I fiinished the course.
------
Added Tuesday: Jarla boy overtook me coming into three. He started fast, in the lead after two controls. He ran off god knows where to four. I made a mistake, stupid stupid, in the circle at six (well, I did leave the circle, too low on the hill) and he overtook me again en route to 7; I had stopped for a while to drink three cups of liquid (HR131!).
7 was a 1.5 km leg, I took a slightly better line than the Jarlaboy and the other guy who had overtaken us, so they overtook me again... Emil also passed by on the way to winning the race in about 1:28. I was still doing more or less fine up to the eighth. Nine I just got lost, didn't go too far offline, but hadn't a notion where I was. Jarlaboy did even worse, punching just after me (he wasn't visible as I was walking around). Followed to ten, then led to eleven, but tin mistake in the circle. Leapfrogged to twelve, I read the map better in the circle so punched first. Didn't take as straight a line to 13 (Jb disappeared never to be seen again, finished 20min ahead of me) to take the path most of the way, knackered beyond knackeredness at this stage... missed the control 20s. 14 I staggered and made a mistake, 15 I got ok, 16 Zigzagged, the rest I got ok but I was at best jogging...
rough race, felt it in the back muscles the next day. Today Tuesday the right half of my right eye is still well bloodshot after whipping it with a pine-needle padded branch.
