STHLM cyclocross and halvdistanspass

I started the day with TV10 and their coverage of STHLM cyclocross from a few weeks ago. There were a few small changes to the course so I would have actually had to change gears...that is a good thing. But I smell a bit of 'fiasko' since it really looked like Wengelin was passed the pit and ran backwards to change his bike. As far as I know, that is a no no in the CX rule book.

Anyway, to keep with the cycling theme I jumped on the MTB for something resembling a distanspass. It was just my usual hill fest up to Kåsjön and then Öjersjö - Tahult - Härkeshult - Jonsered but I haven't done it for awhile so it was long enough. I was freezing so I had to stop for a Squeezy gel in Jonsered so, obviously, the final part went very quickly.

If I have any readers left, what is the best strategy for distanspass? Should it be very long and low intensity or should I keep training hilly routes? I mean 2 hours hilly has to be better than 3 hours flat or?
