More from Hanne Staff
Hanne Staff doesn't write much on the www.staff-valstad.com, but what she writes is usually quite interesting. Here is a bit of her report from last weekend's race:*
I went out for the last leg in about 6th or 7th place. Liisa Anttila was just ahead of me and Simone Lude was just behind. So, I had to be sharp. Earlier, I'd thought about this situation and decided to make my own race the whole way. I did that...almost...Most of the time I was offensive and in control. But, a few times I didn't do so well and that lead to a boom or some time lost.
It is interesting that Hanne thought about the situation before she started and had a plan for how to handle it. That way of thinking is, I think, very good. I think a lot of us can learn something from Hanne. We can spend some time before a race thinking about the situations we're likely to encounter and thinking about how we'll react.
* My appologies if I've mis-translated Hanne's report. My Norwegian is a bit shaky.
