Kris was 20th today in the World Cup opener in Gallivare. It is (by his calculation) his best-ever points race in a 15K individual start skate.
Kris had a great start to the season skiing with the winner for the middle 10 km of the race. It generally takes a while to really get into the flow over here. 45seconds back is a good race for the second week in Europe.
