Irish Sprint Champs, Sligo Institute of Technology.
M50 2.4 km
This weekend is the same format as the JK. There I chose to sit out the Sprint to preserve my body for the 'proper ' orienteering. I thought about doing the same here but decided a leg stretcher after the long drive would be good.
Started a minute after Bill and a minute before Dirk Goossens which made my plan to cruise rather than race a bit more difficult. Still managed to run within myself. Dirk caught and passed me about 2/3's distance. Happy to finish in one piece.
The orienteering was very straightforward. I still managed to take the wrong route on the only real route choice (#3).
6th place. 1 and a bit mins down on Dirk.
Trail running 10:00 [3] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Saucony ISO3
Minimal warm up as we only just got there in time. Better warm down with Bill afterwards.
