Good running from the first two put me off about a minute behind Colm (UCD) and 90 seconds up on Kev (CNOC). Proceeded to loose half of that at #2 where I couldn't make the map fit so was surprise to see Colm leaving #4 when I was heading up the hill to it, still about the same ahead.
Caught him a bit on the way to #5 where is wandered off line a bit but then lost 30 seconds at #6 as I didn't see the gully. Could see Kev catching but didn't think he would have time, but saved some energy for the steep hill after the spectator to be sure.
Didn't need it and in the end we finished in second, about the same behind as I went out. Great to have 4 teams in with a shout of winning this (BOC with Nick on the last leg weren't far behind), but how much longer can we be competitive in this?

Great course, area and weather, so enjoyable to be out in it. Again, frustrating that my quads really limited my enjoyment of being in the terrain, although they were better than yesterday (although I can only blame myself for not maintaining them).
Technically steady, only real time loss was hesitating at #4 and stopping without seeing #14. A few other small hesitations and maybe not getting the best lines, but things that aren't avoidable really.
Terrain on top of the hill was fabulous, with plenty of bare rock to get you out of the soft peat and next to no vegetation. Last loop was hard, body was out of energy (left my gels in the hostel) and the terrain was soft.
Pushed as hard as I could but had no racing in me today, so very happy to be as close as I was to Nick and Paul (who both ad excellent weekends). A long was off where I was when we last ran here (2009 - 20 minutes quicker for less than 1km shorter), but I guess I am getting pretty old for this malarkey...

Wow, this was physical. And easy. Lots of controls waving at you, just so tough to get to them. Quads were not at all happy and tightened up as soon as the course started climbing. Despite the easy nature I still had a few wobbles - being too high on #2, taking the wrong line and missing #7, and heading for the wrong gap to attack #12. Maybe a minute all in, so with the legs not working, just not at the races today. Frustrating, as I'd usually enjoy the toughness of this terrain (but not the planning). However, it's about time I started to get pushed off the podium in these races! (4th Irish).

Usual Sprint effort, enough to trot around and warm up and not mess up too much. Though I did get the wrong side of the fence for #3 (but the description was wrong) and got confused at another. Also put an effort in on one leg. Yet to check if it paid off with a decent split
