Up to the start. Thought I'd gone the wrong way and was following tapes from a kids course as there was no one else around, minor panic!

IOC Classic, Lough an Cogair, M21E, 13.6km, 350m, 27 controls. Lovely area, wet but runnable with plenty of boulders and hills but nothings too steep, . Really enjoyed it. Ran steady but not too strong for first half with a few small (but acceptable!?) errors. Started pushing harder after about an hour and was going well until #21 when the brain fell apart, had no plan and resulted in having no idea where I was, had to return to the previous control and start again, 6 minutes lost!!! Pushed hard thereafter as I'd nothing to loose and ran really well to the finish. Sort of figured that everyone would loose some time do was still hoping for a decent result. Think my 8th classic title was just that. Very pleased to be able to keep ahead of all the young boys for another year - next year is going to be much harder though.

IOC Middle, Cnoc Mham na mBo, M21E, 5.2km, 170m, 17 controls. A great area, though it wad very hard to read the ground shapes through the black detail. Started feeling quite sluggish but running okay. Once into it I tried to accelerate a bit but bananaed a leg and although I never stopped I dropped about 45 seconds. Similar mistake and time lose a couple of legs later which was quite annoying! Happy enough with the run bit just not clean enough to beat Conor who was about 30 seconds quicker.

Off to Ireland for the IOC, looking forward to what promises to be a great weekends orienteering. Good luck to everyone who's taken a poorer option and doing BOC - I know it's poorer as it's my map....

Nice and easy exploring a bit of woodland that I haven't visited before. All was well with the world; the sun was out (sometimes), the birds were singing and spring was trying to, well, spring. Found a friendly herd of cows who wanted to lick my feet but didn't want me to run across their field without getting excited, so had a chat with them for a while, let them lick my feet and found an alternative route. Enjoyable, hardly even broke a sweat.
