Sore throat

1 stupid mistake, distracted by crossing the road with some traffic (going the opposite way to what I am used to), plus some people taking pictures (and me worrying that I should cross the road in a certain way - since to be honest I was not sure I really knew the "highway code" in Northern Ireland).

Abysmal fail on one control, tried to read control description too late + didn't understand it... lost about 2 mins running around. Luckily my bad control was a forked control, and so I got into the A final because of of the "mystery legs" where I had enough speed to be one of the "lucky losers".

Event: Armagh Sprint Weekend
 

4 o-tervals (~7 mins each)

Warm up + running between intervals

Night sprint - so confused about the score o at the start, since there was just a start triangle and no line going out of it. Followed the crowd, and eventually got 5/7 of the controls, but likely not optimal. Settled into the course more after that...

Relay training at skullerud, was a bit late so started a bit after the girls with the boys... still saw lots people still since my course was shorter than the boys, and passed some of the other group. Snowy and fun, managed to concentrate pretty well and only had one more obvious larger ~1min mistake. Definitely unsure some other times with the dark when I had vaguer features... so several hesitations and small hooks, but managed to run aggressively.
