I had a great plan of dismounting early and running passed people in the sand part but there was no room for that and I messed up on the little ski bridge hill and ran down it again which cost me a ton of time. I was already behind by a lot and after like two minutes of racing.

Ahead of me again was Johan from Söderköping SK and I assumed he had been training here a lot to get home advantage. The only place I seemed to be closing any gap was on the grass part around the pit. But with 5 dismounts per lap I was in bad shape and seriously hurting and my pedals were full of mud so I couldn't clip my shoes in. And yet by some miracle I was getting closer by taking more chances in the corners. Suddenly I was på rulle and trying to figure out if I could pass in a corner but he was tough today and leaving no room. So in the section at the pit I set in an attack and passed at a useless spot since it was just before the slaloms and log/stair part. But I held on a bit, ran up the huge hill and took a chance downhill and could be more comfortable when i got to the sand. But my pedal problems were slowing me and I was worried with two laps to go that the vurpa monster would appear.

I dont know how I held on. I was motivated by the fact that I might not get lapped and pushed on and that apparently opened the gap more so I could see a guy in CK CX in front. But just when I reached the log I was lapped but I still sprinted my way in and pretty much collapsed, again 2nd last. Perfectly fine for me.

Once they correct the results list it will be a fine 36th. The organizing club seems to have put their own guy above me...
