10mila 2013, Upplands-Bro, Stockholm. 7th leg, LS-37 1.
I was the second spare guy and I think no-one really expected me to do any magic tricks in the forest. I'm in a bad shape and everybody knows it. So with those expectations, I think I did alright.
At the beginning, I ran with couple of guys towards #1 and thought I got good backs in front of me (no forking). Then they left way too early from the path (6th leg guys). Continued on my own and as my navigating has been quite good for quite some time, this was no exception. Biggest mistake to #2. I was still on the map at the last "island" and I think I checked my compass but I guess green made me turn.
40mins of my own work and then on #10 Rasti-Kurikka and Femman caught me. They were a lot faster than me so the only way to go was -> rolled map inside a fist with control descriptions visible.
Team itself did quite well. I'm glad I was part of it. Next year sub 50 with me in the team catching backs rather than waiting on stomachs to pass me.
