Day 2 and with the feeling of excitement because of my previous day's second place, i was able to start with a nervous slow pace. I picked up the speed until i had to cliimb the hill (it was a steep hill). It was good to see Luke T on the course and i should've stuck to him closer as my only mistake came as i didn't trust his height judgement against mine. So as Luke contoured well into #10 i climbed the hill to get a nice view form the top, then realise i was 4 contours too high. After that i caugt FernWerm and she followed me into #11, the final little loop saw me catch Luke T again and have him pass me in the finish split. I've never been that great at the finish sprint. Finished the day with a nice 2nd place again, and with a mounting pressure of 4min40 seconds to hold going into the final day.
