Event: Irish Orienteering Championships
 

Irish Middle Distance on Cnoc Mham na mBo, course was 3.6km. Went off a bit too slow wanting to get it right. 1st control was nice, 2nd was alright went past it a it but lost maybe 20s. Going to 3 I probably could have pushed harder, with the massive re-entrant pretty close to the control. Then I was a bit too high losing about a minute. 4 was grand then there was the long leg to 5 which I realised straight away that there wasn't much to guide you into the control. However I managed to pick up the weird boulder/crag and the triangle of boulders going for a spike until I stopped 5m from the control to look about there... Lost a minute. Then bombed it to 6 because of the mistake only to make another mistake which cost me a minute and a half on a short leg. Then bombed the rest of the course, Niall caught me at 7 so I was going for it trying to drop him. Had plenty of energy left at this stage because I sprinted the rest of the course. Suckish performance.

Course 4 - Splits

Really nice day so headed back into Rivelin again for another beaut run in the sun.

Standard Rivelin with extra climbs included with Malley and Jack. Real nice run in the sun, really enjoyed it.

Shuoc intervals - the session was 30s, 70s, 1.45, 2.30, 3, 2.30, 1.45, 70, 30 all with 1 min rest. Tough session, legs were pretty rough but loosened up a bit after a bit

Run down to intervals and then back from intervals via Broomhill

Treb rang and asked if I wanted to play some touch rugby, so ran down to Goodwin

Touch rugby :) Good fun, haven't played rugby in so long!

Caught the last bit of ShUOC circuits :) was feeling good

ShUOC drills, hadn't done them in a long time so was doing it like a bit of a retard...
