17/10/04: Vasteras 36th at 25 Manna Relay
Vasteras were slightly disappointed to finish 36th (of 345 teams) in this year's
25 manna relay in Stockholm. This result came just 2 years after we finished
11th but perhaps was expected with several big names missing - not least Helen
Winskill and Mattias Millinger (Mattias - the Junior World Relay Champion -
unfortunately broke his foot pre-running the World Champs relay course in his
home town). A solid team performance saw minimal mistakes and lots of good runs.
Jenny ran 3rd leg, starting with 3 team-mates, and finished just behind one
of these, Anna Thomasdotter.
Meanwhile disaster struck for Espoon Suunta when one of their runners was ill out in the forest and forced to retire. This meant the team was pulled out of the race having been 12 minutes in front of Vasteras and hoping for some strong last legs to pull them through to the top 20.
