Orienteering race 1:26:29 *** 10.97 km (7:53 / km) +384m 6:43 / km
ahr:158 max:184 shoes: VJ Integrators
Munster Champs in Toureen Wood.
Was not confident beforehand that I would be running the whole way through the course and that came to pass. Did alright though and was able to move quickly enough in the forest, downhill at least.
First 4 were good, think I picked the right routes and was moving ok.
5 I went high up to the semi-open but had no real attackpoint and missed it. Easily caught though as the rides changed direction and I turned and got it quickly.
6 I missed terribly by having an awful compass bearing got to the open forest and knew exactly what was wrong.
Darren was then behind me and I pushed hard to try and keep ahead of him for a while, at least until 8 I said. Was still just in front coming into 8 but I missed it by about 10m and he punched before me :(
He then promptly ran away while I recovered.
Orienteering was clean from then on, not much interesting happened apart from going straight to 18 which was wrong. Had to climb up and down the ravine and lost loads of time.
Finally at 21 my shoes fell apart, with no warning whatsoever. I ran the rest of the course, mostly slippy downhill with no right sole which was interesting.
Overall happy with my first time back in a forest in ages where I was trying to run. Not too sore but very tired now!

Run in the park. Nothing hurt, wooo!
Just went around the zoo and the polo pitch and back. Trying to make sure my form was good. Was really nice to be running again.
