Munster League #4 - Mahon Falls
Only had to wait 30minutes to get a map for the Brown course since again there wasnt enough.....rendered the warm up rather useless but i couldnt really go jogging again because I'd lose my place waiting for a map. Safe to 1-2-3 and then took the marsh to 4 but there was an extra drainage ditch not on the map in the marsh so I thought I must be near the control, maybe 30-40seconds dropped here. It looks like from the satellite imagery you can see a linear drain. Shame as I was on the right line for #4. Uphill to 5, could see the control I'd say from the next county over nearly. Contoured to 6 and to 7 which were tricky controls but got them clean. Then good route back towards 8 but lost >70seconds with the control being in the wrong place (confirmed by ruth, Shea and Killian who went out to check it. Some gang got lucky having seen it on route to #1, it was higher up the slope and on a boulder not a crag. Clean through 9-10-11-12-13 and then a safe route to 14, just couldnt see a nice line through the rocks. Ruairi was ahead by 62seconds at #16 (which is a little less than the time I lost on that misplaced control) but he made an error to #17 so I got back ahead. Just about saving my blushes. Good Munster League points >1300 but I dont think I'll be looking to place overall.

Pairs O with Jens talking through some of the routes on a training map around the trickier section, maybe a bit like some of the topography that will be in Hollola in a few months. Made one mistake on it, aimed off well but we were chatting and lost some focus near the control.
We saw robrunner out there so slowed up to ensure we didnt help him out in any way :D
