Note
No WOC2012 for me.
This weekend I was meant to be running at the Irish WOC trials in Scotland. I took the decision not to race. I've had the two emotionally/mentally toughest months of my life the past two months, for reasons that I won't go into here. After the Euro Champs I realised that I need my energy to get myself back on track, rather than trying to prepare for a World Champs. I would hate to race at the World Champs knowing that I couldn't give the preparation 100%, and right now I can't do that. The decision was still hard to take, as I think that I'm still in good enough shape to make the Irish girls team. Instead, I'll enjoy getting out running and jogging in the lovely Swedish summer. And I'll enjoy cheering on all my friends that will be running at WOC :)
I'm thinking of a non-orienteering holiday. The idea is slightly scary (I mean, what do you pack? What do you do all day?) but watch this space :)
