Screaming downhills
- The one easy part was that the remote start involved a chair lift ride to the top of the Natrudstillen Mtn. Guess what came next. Screaming downhills followed by a climb back up the same mountain and then another two climbs up a second mountain separated by a map flip, skriver signaturen "acjospe", på nettsiden Attackpoint.org om sin deltakelse i de store ski-o-begivenhetene ved Sjusjøen og Natrudstilen i forrige uke. - The hardest part navigationally was right after the final map exchange, where the spaghetti of green trails at 1:15000 scale looked to Kestrel "like mostly green with islands of white", står det videre.
Signaturen "AZ" har blant annet dette å fortelle om sitt sprint-løp;
- Took the second control from above - that might be good advice for foot O, but in this case I came hurtling down a steep back and went flying past the control. I threw out my arm to try to 'punch' the control as I went by but missed and lost balance and face planted in the snow. Ugh. But the worst thing was I now had snow all over my map and misread control 8 as control 3 and started on the obvious hill climb - I got to the top of the hill before realizing I was going wrong and had lost another four minutes.
