Running for OK Linné 3. Our team was Emma Isaksson, Lena Kask, Kat Orekhova, Jennie Hellström, Mari Troeng.

48 - Had this one planned out, but was still very careful. Went fine.
116 - Had this one planned out as well, but was more aggressive, and the whole leg was perfect. In fact, I won this split!
37- Bad. I was unfolding my map to the control code, so followed some other girls instead of doing my own navigation, and had to relocate. I think I went further right of the line than the GPS track shows...
39 - I immediately decided to go around on the right, but in retrospect think I should have just gone straight. Also, I wasn't completely convinced of where I was because the hill on the right next to the marsh looked smaller than I expected it to be. That's why I first checked the control code on the rock even though I was fairly certain it wasn't mine, and then saw my own control and ran to it.
40 - Slowed down as I entered the green to read the contour lines in order to avoid running around in circles looking for the rock, but fortunately saw my control straight away.
41 - Refolding my map again to look at control codes, so was slow going through the green and didn't have time to visualize the control circle.
102 - Ran past some girls again, then had the fast one pass me and ran together with her to the next control. Was surprised by how the control looked, but code was right.
34, 42 - Easy controls
43, 44 - Following the fast girl and folding the map to check control codes.
110, 108 - Easy controls
45 - surprised at control code, because I had overlooked this one when reading the next three, so slowed down to check again. Then caught up to the fast girl again.
104, 103, 46, 127 - Reading along on the map and checking control codes.
200 - Run fast downhill!
Finish - Run as fast as possible to exchange.
