Thea Lillehov

No a-final, but still somehow happy. I had a good race, where I was able to follow my concept till the end. Before the race I was really focused, but not overwhelmingly nervous. When the start showed up to be at the arena, not even that could bring my out of my focus, something which I am happy about. Seeing the leg to the first control, I couldn't stop a big smile, it was exactly what we guessed on at yesterdays meeting! At least I knew how to do that one in a good way! For the rest og the course I lost some small seconds at two controls and on the control 5 I left about 3 minutes when I started dazzling around 100m before the control, just because I could see some other girls further down. Heading straight forward as planned would have brought me directly to the control, but that is easy to say afterwards. Also the second last control caused me some time loss My head was all ready in the finish and my body tired, so I landed some meters to far to the right. But, in the end I am more or less happy with the race. Physically it was very good, which is a good sign for the sprint and not at least for the relay!
