Cycling 49:05 15.61 km (3:09 / km) +112m 3:02 / km

Out to Tyrrelstown from work for the orienteering. It seemed like an uphill and a headwind the whole way. Which boded well for the way home. Had a few nice cycle paths and a few really frustrating ones. Along the canal for example was lovely, the problem was you had to get off the bike at every bridge so I gave up at the first one and went a different way. The cycle tracks out in blanch were nice, except they deal with roundabouts so badly, turning you magically into a pedestrian without you knowing. A bit frustrating. The roads were quite greasy near the end and doing the roundabouts fast was pretty hairy.
Orienteering race 26:19 *** 6.02 km (4:22 / km) +22m 4:18 / km

Tuesday eve event in Tyrellstown.
Started out ok, and was planning ahead and seemed to be taking reasonable routes. Was pushing hard enough and made it as far as 9. Then I read from 3 instead and made a complete mess of 10, dropping about 40s. Got the orienteering under control again but the legs weren't responding. Looking at my pace for the splits this is clearly obvious. Not too unhappy with the speed given how little speed work I have done lately but I need to improve speed endurance for sure.

Cycle home, looking forward to the downhill tailwind. No such luck. First bit seemed to be uphill into the wind again. Then when there was a wind at my back it got colder and started to rain pretty heavily. Stopped to put the waterproof cover on my bag. Was feeling tired by the time I got home.

Rock Climbing 45:00 [1]
shoes: Five Ten
Gravity Bouldering.
Frisbee was cancelled due to high winds and rain which never really happened. Seemed to be climbing pretty well, got two pinks (even if they have been reduced in difficulty) but got tired really quickly (i.e. after 2 hours) so went home and made dinner.

O-training 1:34:11 ***** 9.35 km (10:05 / km) +293m 8:43 / km
ahr:147 max:170 spiked:30/40c shoes: VJ Falcon
Vale of Clara control pick.
Map
The terrain was rough and it got to me. At first I handled it ok but the features were really hard to find. Mostly I was worried about the process and the majority of the time it actually went ok. Nearer the end though I got real tired and struggled to keep focus. Something to work on.
Near 24 I had the pleasure of trekking through so 6ft deep bilberrys. That was very hard. There were also deer wading around in it at the same time and it reminded me very much of that jurassic park scene in the long grass. Three times a deer jumped vertically upwards less than a metre in front of me and scared the loving daylights out of me.

started slow with Cillin and got slower as time went on. Had nothing in the legs for the hills it felt like so I just took it real handy and kept running as much as I could. Gorgeous day out and great views.
