Donadea. Decent run. I wasn't pushing too hard, but at the same time was running reasonably quickly. Happy, was navigating well and avoided many mistakes, not that it's the most technical area either. Had kind of planned on going straighter rather than around for most controls, both for a slightly tougher navigational challenge, and because I reckon you should have a general plan like this depending on the area for routechoices before a race, obviously not to the extent that they make you go the wrong way.
Little mistake on 5, a lot more undergrowth than mapped, looking rather like a veg. change too, but nothing huge. Not too much else, at least not that I can think of.
Now I've thought about it again.. a poor routechoice to the last, very poor. And a dodgy one to 21 too. As well as a bit of time lost on the dodgy path at 10 I think it was.
Splitsbrowser here.

Bit o' cycling, not much, body struggling to hack the general sesh today.

Another easy run out. Jogged to Jack's again, went up and back home a longer way so I could keep my run slightly longer without having to make him do too much. Good pace up, and quite quick back, dropped considerably while with Jack but, that's grand.

Over and back, only I was offered a lift on the way home from Jack who was driving back, after doing a jog, he came 18th at the all-irelands at the weekend! Sheeeut.. I thought I was catching up with him..

6x1km, 100secs rest.
Slightly better, but legs still aren't used to the picked up speed, and calfs go really tight running fast on paths.
Times: 338, 38, 40, 40, 38, 46
Very dissapointed with last one, yeah ran by myself but still.. should've kept it up.

Jogged up to Jack in my year's gaf. He wants to gain a bit o' fitness, cos' he's shit, and I wanted someone to run with. So grand, very slow, but acceptable. Except, it meant I was home at like 23.30.. :L
