Smålandskavlen - Last leg - Victory
Some snow on the ground today, and minus degrees, so a nice dose of things to come. Smålands changed the format this year with the night legs becoming a normal relay. Over the past few years we have had trouble with these legs, but the boys avoided trouble and got us back in the pack just a few seconds behind. In the day the pack reduced in size and ended up with me going out together with IFK Gothenburg and Sävedalens AIK (Kasper Fosser and Marcus Millegård).
We were basically together for the entire race which was probably expected given the way the forkings were set. Although it did make it a bit stressful whenever one of the others disappeared for some time. None of us ever really missed, or managed to get a decisive gap physically, so it came down to a sprint from the 4th last control, with some forking on the 2nd last. I was fastest.
The end of the season and the end of an era. My last race for Södertälje. My memory is that Smålandskavlen was my first real race after I had moved to Scandinavia. Both Kent and Johan were in my team then, we finished 14th. I ran the 20th fastest time on last leg. Times have changed.
