Norwegian ultra long champs from Eiksetra. Have been looking forward to this for years since it is pretty nice open terrain. Nice courses with almost no green. Quite heavy heather that drained the energy.
Good start, nailed the controls. Felt I started slow, but I don't think I did. Ran a bit too much without a plan on the long leg. Ended up running a bit too much randomly. Passed PØS with 6 minutes at the 6th control so I figured it was a good run. Got passed by strong runners but they didn't seem to go that fast, which was a clue the speed was maybe slightly too high. Didn't execute the next two long legs well. Started losing concentration on the second half and tried to just finish.
27th place, but almost an hour behind the best. Still I'm happy with the run. Good courses, which is what you'd expect with Øystein Sørensen being course controller. Inov-8s worked well in this terrain.
