JK Middle - 28th (+7:30)
Pretty nervous leading up to the start. Kept thinking about my weak ankles and how I haven't been running & I was probably gonna be shit slow.
Once I picked up the map, I was right into the aggressive start, pushing hard to #1, and only on compass for the first half of #2.
Basically got into the flow pretty well from then.
The area around #6 was where they told us the map was wrong, but they had told us it didn't affect any controls, which was quite the statement. #6 was dead centre in the middle of this, I stopped too early when I hit the end of the veg, it wasn't in that gully so I ploughed on to another control I spotted which was too far, realised quickly where I was, and got back but blew 1min.
Definitely partly my fault, but it was pretty annoying having the map very questionable here.
Got through the next section fine, still trying to push hard enough, but not quite as aggressive as early on.
Coming into #14 I went over my ankle, hobbled into the control, and on my way to #15 hobbled along the path to let it settle.
Ran it off, but took 4-5 controls, probably about #18 or so to be properly gone - at a rough estimate could have cost a minute. But that's the game.
Some other small misses, but nothing bigger than 10s I would say.
Still, worked on and ground out the rest of the course.
Solo race today, but quite enjoyed it like that.
Not quite the result I would have liked. But first real race of 2017, and given how things have been going, pretty happy with the techniques & the aggression. For the most part not too far off the pace with the others.
90s down on Conor and 15s ahead of Eoin, in terms of Irish.
