4 PM
Run - Trail warm up/down 15:55 2.71 km (5:52 / km) +37m 5:30 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14
Had plenty of time bit only just made my start - straight into the -2 minute box.
5 PM
Run - Orienteering race 32:27 5.64 km (5:45 / km) +239m 4:45 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14
IOC Middle, M21E, 5.3km, 200m, 20 controls.
Don't think that I can ever remember an Irish mountain being this dry! Also well grazed so as fast as it gets (it still being soft and spongy underfoot). Had a good race, didn't feel especially strong but I think that is what the terrain does to you. Lost a few seconds on two controls but probably less than 15 in total, so had not chance of matching Dooby and Conor, both of whom were moving considerably quicker. Finished 3rd, 50 seconds down on the flying Dooby, but comfortably ahead of others, happy with that. Only downside was the amount of controls that were on both big features and which were also waving at you. Enjoyable race nonetheless.
