Running on the most (?) woc relevant terrain - Langenthal Ost - with Lidingö and Bettina. Was white markings in the forest but they were not always so easy to spot, so I and Bettina starting out with 1min interval, catched eachother and ran away many times through out the course. Felt more secure in these terrain than before, but still a job to do to be even better in running straight forward and searching for a control point which is more or less invisible before you stand on it...

Bern By Night, masstart. A lot of people, so had problems to the first control to see where the control was because if was impossible to distinguish the reflectors from the head lamps. Missed the first control and therefore I didn't see any other girl for a long time. No idea if they where infront or behind. Still had som boys around me, and ran quite ok, but it was foggy and in some places I could only see some very few meters, and I had to be in hand reach of what I was supposed to run along to get to the next control. There was forking (butterfly-similar) and when I came out of the forking I came together with Simone Niggli and Sabine Hauswirts, so even if I had felt left behind I had ran the same fast as they on an other forking. Was together with them a couple of controls, but heading up the last long uphill, they both got lost in the fog and a green area and I didnt see them anymore. I made some smaller mistakes, but came to the finnish line a bit unsure if I was behind or infront. it turn out that Simone had pushed the tempo up the hill and run away from me, and that Sabine had got stuck in the green area and after that done some mistakes. So Simone won among the girls with 1:03:30, I was second with 1:06:00, and Sabine third with 1:06:30.
