Pretty destroyed on the start line and made a tactical decision not to smash it. I knew it was 14 seconds back to 7th place but there was no way I wanted to fight with him. Then it was 6 minutes until 8th place and I figured if I jogged I could keep 7th. Feels a bit like I cheated by just jogging and still getting 7th, when there were people starting after me smashing it, but I couldn't have run hard. I was just so destroyed after the whole month of racing/training/Europe. Results…

Really should post these maps but its kind of just depressing. I got so tired towards the end of O-ringen that I couldn't run well. Ran cleanly but without any energy, and was basically just trying to get to the finish to end the suffering.

An ok race in the 3rd stage of O-ringen. I had some pretty poor controls but mostly it was good. Didn't have such a good feeling today so I tried to avoid climb as much as possible which I think helped. Dropped a few seconds on 2 but then 4 has horrible. I thought I saw the open land/distinct vegetation boundary to the north so I swung left, but in fact I was drifting way off line. Then at 10 I think it was faster to run left as the slope was really slow, and when I came into the control area I had no idea where I was. Managed to come 4th, my best result so far, so that was alright.

A much better race for me in the second stage of O-ringen. Really managed to connect with the map better than yesterday and had some more flow with my orienteering. Also felt much better physically, despite my cold, and really just had a good feeling while running. Still lost some time but I came 6th, a big improvement on yesterday. The area was slightly less rocky so the runnability was better. Ran through a lot of runners too which is always fun. Results…
