WOC test in middle distance, ran ok mostly but made a big mistake to the 5th control (2:30min lost) and again 1min on the 8th control. That is way to much in a middle distance, and I was in the end number 8, 2:40min behind the winner Heidi Bagstevold

NM-sprint qualification. Ran technically quite controlled, and had only one hesitation to one control. Maybe some of the route choices were not the best, but it was more than good enough for the final with a 3rd position, 25 sec behind the winner of heat 1.

NM-sprint finale: difficult start, and I had to invest some time to get the overview. Chose to go right on the big road, a smart move, and lost only small seconds to the best split. Still difficult, so I had to read a lot of map and stop many times to know where I was and where I was going next. So eventhough I lost some seconds in this part until the 4th control, I made no mistakes. To the 5th control I made my first mistake (around 10 sec), and from here on I ran much better. Made a bad routechoice to the control before the arena, and a mistake at the spectator control (nothing big, again two times some seconds). I now had the back of Tone Wigemyr who started 1 minute before me, but I continued to focus on myself and what was on my map. Made no more mistakes and almost no hesitations, so a good finnish, and in the end the silver medal! Satiesfied!

WOC selection race long distance. Technical ok, but had some hesitations and smaller mistakes, and my running on the longest leg was really not good. But most of all I was to slow today, had nothing extra to give... 5th spot in the end. Two more chances in the weekend.
