I am back home now and stiff everywhere so I thought I would look for some positives from yesterday. Other than people on the side of the road yelling 'Heja svensken!'

Here are the Results. In the class Menn 35-39 I finished 296 out of 313 which does not sound so great. Yet I did beat some people. In H30 class here in Sweden I am normally about 45 minutes behind 2nd last which is discouraging to say the least.

Then overall for all of the Menn I was 1382 of 1459 which, even for a day as horrible as yesterday was, is okay. I was several hours ahead of those who came last and there were many others with a time around mine. So I did not stick out in the results list.

I should probably be satisfied with this when I consider that I was just sick for 2 weeks and was injured for almost a month. This is the form I have without any proper training, in other words. But no one trains långlopp around here so even if I had been healthy this would have happened anyway. Racing will have to be training.
