Orienteering race 37:19 [4] 3.0 mi (12:26 / mi)
shoes: VJ Integrator (blue)
Irish Middle Distance Champs, Barnsmore West, Donegal.
M50 4.5km 160m.
Another disappointingly planned race. Controls hung like beacons and one dodgily placed control. Lost a bit of time on the wrong control (#2): it was 2 contours higher than #1 rather than 2 lower as on the map. Struggled to convince myself to climb to the control visible higher up the hill. Otherwise pretty good.
Finished in 2nd about a minute down on Bill.

Orienteering race 12:17 [4] 1.5 mi (8:11 / mi)
shoes: Saucony ISO3
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.
