Lindvallen Arena

It was the last day of competition and is different from the others as it involves a chasing start. The quickest after the first 4 days starts first and then the rest follow starting at the number of minutes after their time until 90 minutes and then people start every 15 seconds. In the previous times I’d been at the O-Ringen I was always in those last stragglers but this year I was only 89 minutes and 19 seconds behind and was the last off before the stragglers. I also finished in the top 100 for the first time. It doesn’t sound much, but I was happy, and I beat the only other British runner too. The blip is of the finish area and gives some idea of the scale of the event.
