IOC Sprint 2019
Florencecourt House & Gardens
3rd
Went with o bottoms and socks, didn't know what the terrain would be like but expected some forest. Could probably have got around in shorts but not like what I wore cost me time.
I went left of the house to 1, don't think it was the best option. Had an idea what way to go to 2 after seeing Neil on my way to 1. The bank wasn't easy to get up by the side of the building. Ended up too low I think for 3 and then maybe went the wrong way around the building based on where I approached the building from.
Got stuck under some branches getting into 4. Gaining on Neil here. Saw him jump the stream to 6 and when I went to do the same had a double take when I saw how far I'd to jump, made it. Passed Neil leaving 6.
Hadn't really worked out what to do for 8 but went across the forest and big stream again before hitting the path. Some time lost here I feel. Had looked ahead to 8 but was more focused on what 8 was going to look like than the exit from 7. Was ok when I got into the circle but struggled while racing to read the circle properly.
9 was a hard run with some climb. Then into the building again for 10. Had this control sussed in the start box as reckoned 10 might have been where 1 was going to be. 11 - 13 were easy. Bit rough getting into 14 and hesitated early.
Ok to 15 and not sure if the way I went, right, was better than left to 16. Last couple of controls were grand then but the bend at the last control was tighter than I expected.
Overall have to be happy with this race as really had no clue what sort of race shape i'm in or what speed was there to use. The race was a bit stop/start with only a few legs of hard running. There was enough of a gap to Colm and Paul to know that their times were too good for me.
