Legs were definitely not feeling fresh after days of forest running but overall they felt stronger. Hit #1 no problem, said, "Yes!" and carried on, but messed up #2 by taking a different route and compensating for previous error by overrunning it. Oops. Rest of the course I greatly enjoyed, still hesitated on same controls that I made mistakes on during the WC (#6 and #8) but overall my understanding of the map greatly improved. Furthermore, I felt more like "running on waves" today. The trick was to let go of control, soften the knees and let the plush ground carry you. It is still physically challenging but at least there is progress :). My time is almost exactly same as during the race, but I wasn't pushing hard today and had no fellow Slavs to push me, then again I also didn't make that many mistakes..
