Orienteering - race 34:00 [3] 5.0 mi (6:48 / mi)
Armagh urban
It was more fun than most urbans. Big mistake on number 5 (i think it was 5) and a truly mahoosive one at 15, then jogged in after that.

Armagh sprint heat
This was fun - very slippy for the first half, and I got tired in the second half through lack of fitness, but fun. 11 was a miss, and I had a 10secs wtf moment on the way to 4. Great to do my first sprint race in ages, but it felt quite clunky.

Armagh final
Was going ok and passed the two bekkelagets girls who started in front of me. Then one of them gradually reeled me in and she overtook me to 9 when I took a shit route cause I couldn't understand the map. I was distracted, and missed out 10 even though the route 9-11 passed quite close by. I ought to have wondered why she went such an odd way to 11 and twigged that there was an extra control but didn't. My fault. She overtook me again at the end. She wan't running that quickly though, and I think I would have run much better without her. I always hate seeing other people on a course. The fast girls were much too quick for me today. Decrepitude looms...
Laurence was epic on the m16- course today. V proud.

Off-road running 38:10 [3] 4.4 mi (8:40 / mi)
A circumnavigation of (Royal) Portrush Golf Course, the first half of which was on the incredible beach there which I got to myself. Bathed in the first sunshine of the trip, this run was brilliant.

Road running 32:48 [3] 3.5 mi (9:22 / mi)
Yesterday no running. Real blow-the-skin-off-your-face weather here in n Ireland, and a tiring day at the ulster folk museum. Fun, but tiring.
Today up to portrush and the giants causeway. I looked after the kids while Fran went running the we swapped. Around Portrush, then caught in the sand dunes near the golf course, and then back by the beach. Knees not happy. Sapping days, but fun. It's the first time today that the kids have been interested in geology. It's not surprising - the giants causeway never ceases to stun me.
