Sprint Relay 3rd leg
Set off in a bit of a group just behind Kasper. Bit hectic at the start with a lot of people around and a lot of stuff going on so didn't have a comfortable feeling. Got through the loop (first 6 or so) with Kasper though so that was important.
On the next bit caught sight of Emil, then I went right of the ice hall and probably gained time as I was still level with Kasper and we were up with Matthias now. This was a really cool feeling, all four of us being together and knowing that the race was on.
Myself and Matthias had a longer forking and we ended up about 7 seconds behind Kasper. We were still in touch enough to use him but we became more reliant on our own navigation.
I did manage to get a gap to Matthias near the end when he had a longer forking but then I followed Emil on the left route after the arena which was a fraction slower and Matthias was able to get back on.
Changed over together with Emil and Matthias, 7 seconds down on Kasper
