NC Mellom Ofestivalen (25-06-2017)

NC Middle Ofestivalen
Felt better physically today, less tired and stressed.

Was very excited before the race as the old maps looked awesome. The terrain didn’t disappoint. Probably one of the coolest courses of the year.

Good on 1 attacking control down the ridge. On 2 I made a parallel error on the boulder and lost maybe 15sec.

On 4 I basically stopped too early and thought I was further right. Realised when I saw the road and then got the control ok. Annoying and pointless 1min lost. Should have trusted my compass more.

Pretty happy with the rest of the race. Tried to pick lines and follow elephant tracks as much as possible. Issues with the compass around 8 and 9, the needle wouldn’t settle at all, apparently others had problems… powerlines?

Came 14th maybe 1min down where I would have expected to be. But still pretty happy! And since my goal this year was top 20 in NC (having barely managed top30 in previous years) I have to be satisfied :)
