Yuki Takahashi -13th

"I'm quite happy. Good weather all the two days - great. It was windy, but wind is not as much of a problem as rain is. This morning I found a good setting, and we modified it just slightly in the afternoon. There was not enough time to do a long run, but I did my best lap running alone, and this means that that is a realistic pace."
