Leinster League out in Cavan
Not the prettiest little area, quite brambly, and quite a few track routes required, but to be fair, a reasonable amount of white forest.
Got round mostly alright. This is the sort of orienteering I've grown up with, and I could tell I was being lazy orienteering, and quite rusty, but also knew it was the sort of area I could kind of get away with it. The consistent rain & awkward map bag didn't encourage disciplined orienteering either.
Got round mostly okay, took mostly straight routes, had a few 30s slips in the first half (#4, #9, #12). As I got more a little more tired though, the orienteering got even lazier, and lack of compass on #15 lead to at least a 1min mistake, after leaving the white 50m before the control in good position.
Tried to take my time with the compass to #16 to hit the small path through the marsh. Still didn't hit it, and got fairly caught in brambly, heathery marsh. Then lost position & got confused and had to bail left to the track. Lost 4mins or so here, probably should have just gone around to begin. Trudged round the remainder, probably lost a bit more on route to #18.
Good to be back out, doesn't feel like I've done much Leinster League type stuff in the last 2 years. This was a nice reminder of what Sunday Irish orienteering is like. I mostly enhoyed it, but wouldn't be rushing back.

Had expected / hoped this to be slightly lower.
11 AM
Running 2:01:00 [2] 22.1 km (5:29 / km) +470m 4:57 / km
Started out doing a little myself, then did Pine Forest 10, and joined Clo for part of it.
Headed back through Cruagh, Masseys, and back down the roads.
Legs not too energetic on the route home, but run seems to have been pretty alright.

Running 50:37 12.05 km (4:12 / km) +60m 4:06 / km
You'll get your run done when you need to get your run done, I guess, but today that was pretty much midnight. Brought me right back to the streak days, but I love this shit really.
Wanted to do something slightly productive, so settled on a bit of a rolling session, along the dodder.
2k warm up, 3 x 2k tempo (1k float), 2k warm down.
First 2k was good conditions.
Second 2k was a little more off-road, and had a decent hill, however that was followed by a decent descent.
Final 2k was all road, and even net downhill, but fairly vicious headwind.
Overall a decent steady run. Pretty happy with how it went, and how the legs are feeling (much better than during the sprints at the weekend).

Running 1:19:29 15.03 km (5:17 / km) +93m 5:08 / km
Easy out to UCD, then picked up lorrieq & jonnyq for a bit. Very easy in the middle, and legs began to feel a bit stale, probably after the weekend, took a bit of effort to get moving again.
