Well… that kinda sucked balls.

Felt like a new person this morning after 10 hours of sleep.

Practice went well this morning too, did 4 runs and 2 of them were non-stoop just trying to work on the rythm.

I was planning on a safe run in qualifying since i don´t race for any overall points i just wanted to be safely in the final.

Anyway. Sam Hill was starting in front of me and forgot to put his transponder on and got late of the start leaving me with 9 sec to go when i got in the start. Got a bitstressed but goggles on and then of i went.

Started out steady and rode decent all the way just tryingto stay on my lines and not make misstakes. Everything was going smoothly but i must have punctured in the last rockgarden because when i got out on the open fast section after it i could feel i had a flat.

Tried to pedal like a german (everywhere) and jumped the last step-down with the flat but it was just to far down to the finnish.

I ended up 83^rd not even one second of a final spot. Almost thought i would make it but there was so many guys that beat me by one or two seconds. Times were realy tight with only 18 seconds from 80^th to first place so youcouldn´t afford any misstakes especially not a flat.

I´m pissed of as hell right now but next weekend is what i´m over here for so i still have some patience left.

Must say that this season has been the worst wc-season i had ever. It was just not meant to be.

Tomorrow i´m going to ride some xc and maybe do some runs in the bikepark here or something.

Bring on worlds.
