Hang hang hang!
That' s what club asked me. That' s what I did.

When I knew that 9th leg at Tiomila was my job, I started feeling little nervous because was my first time in a Big Relay in a 1st Team!
I woke up all the mornings before Tiomila 5 o'clock and started running 7 o'clock to be used to push hard early in the morning. Everyday my legs felt better and better.
Ten minutes before my start I knew that Fredrik was in a big pack. Kenneth and Linus started showing me which ones were the best runners to stay with if the pack split up: Göteborgs runner was the one with more credits! But, already at the 1st control, we were all together. No one tried to go away with own choices..
Even if the speed was really high (I knew that) I understood at half race that I could manage it. Unfortunately between the last control and the change-over, where I really had to work for the team, my powerless legs decided to stop work anymore and I lost some seconds from the pack..Nothing to compare with the big amazing duel between Losman and Gueorgiou!
Klaus did a really good race and we ended 11th!
Girls finished 17th!

I think I gave all my energy for this competition and I'm happy because I did a good job.
Grattis grabbar!

Yesterday I ran Stigtomtakavlen, a 6 men relay with 3 runners on friday night and 3 runners with jakstart on staurday morning.
I ran the second last leg in the first team. My club mates did a good job during the night sending out Henke (4th leg runner) in 4th position just 13sec to the 3rd place.
I did a OK race with small mistakes near some controls. At control number 10, Leksand's Niklas Jonasson caught me up and I stayed with him until the end.
After a while I had problem with my stomach and luckly I found immediately a toa-box..

Here below you have the main route choice of yesterday Tiomilarepet, a 2men relay in south of Stockholm. We ran this competition also last year..time flew!
First leg started 19.30 so, almost all course was in the daylight. Split-times I took are only from the first legs. Emil Lauri did the best time with 7:54 but running in the dark!

I tamarri ci sono anche qui..

On sunday we ran the 2nd of 4 relays to prepare for Tiomila..
A sunny day and beautiful and fast forest (completely different from the one of saturday) were waiting for us..
I was called to run last leg in the 1st team because Casper was sick. Klaus ran 2nd leg in the 1st team and Sero 1st leg in the 3rd one.
After 3 legs OK Linnè was clearly in the lead (6 minutes) and took the final victory with a last leg jog/ran of Jan Troeng, the fresh Swedish Ultra Long Champion.
Sero had a good race until he lost "the train" at the first important gaffling..
Klaus went well but he did lots of  little mistakes near the controls.
No mistakes also for me but, when we (Leksand OK, Norbergs OK, Stora Tuna OK and myself) were all together at the 12th control and everyone was there pushing hard, I wasn' t able to keep their speed and I could only follow their tracks..

Finally we could try our seat on the balcony!

Today we had a middle distance near Uppsala.
We were expected to run in the beautiful marshy Uppsala area. Our expectations were just partly fulfilled, since we found only small marshes, stony areas and difficult placed controls.
But it was a beautiful day, the first one with a clear sun and 18° C!
Klaus ran H21E and Sero and myself H21 (we have still little problems with swedish ranking..)

We spent our Easter week-end competing at Kolmårdskavlen (a 5 men relay) on saturday and a middle distance on sunday.
On saturday I ran the 1st leg in the 2nd team and Klaus 2nd leg in the 1st team.
I' m quite satisfied about my ran even if the gap between the first was around 6min..The feeling with the map is good and I can recognize the main and "secret" features for a good navigation.
Klaus showed a first signal of his great shape sending out Matte (3rd leg runner) in the lead..
In the end Lidingö SOK 1 took the 3rd position.
After a quickly and not-so-well-organized prize giving cerimony we moved in our youth hostell in Trosa were we had a great sauna (and consequent bath in the sea) and eggs games arranged by Mr. Halai.
The day after was time of middle distance. 5Km on demanding terrain with lot of direction changes. I did a mistake at the first control where I didn' t check my compass on the really last meters..after that, I had a decent ran.
Peter Öberg "shocked" the result with a really fast 30'13"..It seemed that no one could go under 31'00". Klaus, who started later in the start list, showed again his class: even if at the start organizers gave him a bad-cutted controls description, even if they missed him at the warning control, when he came in the run-in the speaker was impressed of that such result..just 26 sec after the Swede and 2nd position! It doesn' t matter if the speaker couldn' t speak correctly his surname. Grattis Klaus!
