Nice area with a lot of details and really wild terrain, so decided to take part even if my shin is still not much better. Also it was destrict championship. As always now I didnt dare to run at full speed and also some of the 100% focus was missing since you cant take it really serious if you cant even warm up properly.
Started quite ok, but didnt felt so fast but didnt do big mistakes. The first area has a lot of up and down wich cant be put on the map. But no stones or such. I was at the controlpoint of the 3rd control but just couldnt spot it and was not 100% sure, so did an extra 3min loop. Also passed the 4th control by some 10m or so. Couldnt spot it either, so another 1.5min wasted. Decided to be more carefull from now on wich worked ok until control 11, where I expected the control a bit earlier. Afterwards fine again on the rather easy transportation legs towards the final wild area with a lot of big boulders and cliffs. Not all of them are mapped and its sometimes hard to see the runability from the map and you can get easily stuck for some seconds in fallen tress or just cliffs and deep holes. Fun fact for all swedish readers: the area south of control 16 is called "Runca", luckily its a "c"...
Stood directly next to control 17 on the cliff but couldnt spot any control. Checked my control description after some seconds and saw that I need a stone. The control circle is not perfectly centred here. Lost a bit my direction here and didnt check carefully enough so ended up way to high on my approach to 18. Luckily the visiblity was quite good here so understood quick what happened. Decided to run around to 20, but the last part was really slow with a lot of branches on the path. Got stuck a bit just before 22 on fallen trees and a lot of cliffs wich were not mapped. Didnt had enough control after the hilltop towards 23 and ended up in a bit a messy area. Couldnt spot anything on the map for sure and ended up searching for the control or something obvious on the map. Finally find a hole just south east of my control spot. Got a bit tired and lost motivation specially from 28 to the finish. So didnt find any flow or good passages there anymore. Rather bad race with some good parts.
