NC Mellom (2017-04-02)

A very clean race. Feeling not quite 100% at the start after some food poisining the day before, forcing me not to run too fast in the first part.

1: Not a very clear plan other than try to avoid marshes, steep cliffs and rocky slopes. Was on the wrong side of the knoll and lost maybe 10sec.
3-4: Similar plan to 1, so no obvious routechoice, so tried to keep out of the boggy areas and avoid steep climbs.

Then I really managed to get into a good rhythm, lots of map reading and tried to look ahead and pick lines in the terrain.

14-15:Struggling to plan this leg, decided to do what I had been doing, try to run straight ish and avoid steep areas. Luckily I found a nice route on the right side of the hill without having to climb too much.

Next few controls were a bit vague and scary but saw Håkon (2mins in front) on the way to 19 and this really motivated me. He also cheered me on in the forest haha.

On the run through Anders Nordberg was screaming at me that I was in the lead which was an awesome feeling. I tried to stay clam and just continue what I had been doing and managed to not lose any time on the last loop.

Fornøyd!!!!
