After two miserable disappointments, I managed to run the second leg in Jukola as you should. A solid lcontrolled race without mistakes (well two times 15 sec is virtually no mistakes for me). I managed to control myself in the beginning, although the line of runners was moving painfullyu slow, and I almost had power left for the last km. Consequently I lifted 280 places from 620 to 340, being 217:th on the leg (and beating BorisGr with 10 min). In current shape I could not have done any better.

The night was tricky with both very fast and very technical terrain, and changing tempo during the race was of vital importance. I had an easy ride with the pack for the first half, except for one own good routchoice, but during the second half there was not much help from the pack, although there were people everywhere. I was most satisfied with being able to take full control when the pack dissolved. It was so strange seeing the backs of some runners in the distance, leading in to your own post, just to find them desperately trying to relocate.

I managed to lift places during 10 out of the 12 km, but would have needed new legs for the finish...
