SM-GULD! Swedish champs in the relay! I run the first leg, had a good race. Was running with the big pack in the beginning, on the long leg to the third control the group started to split up, felt that I was going to be a good day for med when I smashed into the third control by myself. Run in the front the following legs and had nice stretched line of people after me going up the hill again. But then the long forking started for me, at the common control at 8 I was just in the end of the leading group, but after that when they punched on top of the hill and I had to go down to get my flag I lost about a minute to the first radio. After that I had even longer forking, and came to the passing in the arena about 3min behind the leaders (without any misstake except maybe a bad route in the ravine to number 12). Run good on the last part and gained half a minute on the front runners. 11th about 2.5 after to the changeover with a very good race.
Mats run really good on the second leg also and Mattias went out as number 5 about 3.5min behind on the last leg. But we knew that he is in superb shape and that he had to have shorter forking than the other teams and YES IN DEEEEEED! He was flying and passed the arena just in front of Malung and Wille, now it was only a thrilling last lap left. And when he came first to the last control, what a feeling! Great Day!!
