Loop around UCD, in Foster's Ave entrance, out Clonskeagh Rd. Grim, but less so than it could be.

Carlingford II
Foxes' Rock

Another great day on the mountain. My orienteering wasn't outstanding. Tired from the day before and a bit out of practice. Stopped with Eoin to do a couple of controls map memory to try to get some focus back... messed up the first one in a typical way : self-instructions ended with around the hill and drop a little to the boulder... whereas in reality it was drop 2.5 contours, which ain't a 'little'. Nice cave just before the end. I associated it with the long woman's grave.

After a bite of fruitcake I managed a little trot with Shane to collect Clíodhna.

Carllingford Training Weekend Day I
Slieve Foye

Jog to reg, Walk to start. Head-to-head gaffles with Dooby, then line-o and three pair loops with same, then I got lazy. Only half a control pick, again hitting the trig point. Then the long (5km) course and back to the car.

I was almost clean on everything up until the long, where I made a bunch of mistakes. Couple of tricky legs.

Great training, fantastic way to start the year.

Carlingford. Walk jog with Shane and some kites, then jog back down. Beautifully sunny, bit windy, not too bitter.
