7 laps, 2.08hrs
First place, 4.41min ahead Martin Loo
It is already five years ago since I have visited beautiful Estonia. Back then it was after the racing season. I still raced a marathon race in Finland at that time, which was only a short ferry trip over the sea from Estonia. I only had very good memories of that time, so sure I wanted to go back again.
This time the sun basically never went down, I haven not seen real darkness for the whole time, even last night it got very late after a great bbq with my even greater host.
People here are very into mountain biking and outdoor sports, even the country is pancake flat. To me it almost looked like that the sea is at equal hight as the mainland and the trees the pinnacle points of elevation. But a flat country does not mean mountain bike racing is easy. Today‘s course was very technical, with loose sand and lots of small tricky drops.
After lap two I was racing by myself in the lead. I did not get bored though, since I always had to be concentrated with all the technical sections. Plus the riding around the public swimming pool arena was eye catching.
