Running (road) 19:16 2.54 km (7:35 / km) +33m 7:07 / km
ahr:133 max:163 shoes: VJ Bold 8
Got off the organised bus 10 mins before my start. Straight to the tent dumped my kit and headed to the start where I managed to convince the organisers, Josh & Colm H to all start 10 mins late. Cillin and Marcus had been on the same bus and were also fine with it. That meant I had enough time to warm up so did that. Felt good, but took a little time to reset the brain properly. Got to the right place though after a bit though.
Orienteering race 40:36 ** 5.47 km (7:26 / km) +187m 6:21 / km
ahr:168 max:176 spiked:16/18c shoes: VJ Bold 8
IOC middle - 8th Irish (incl 20s) - Routegadget
Started well, ground was soft do knew immediately or would be a grind. 1 was easy, climbed ok to 2 though came slightly above it, maybe 10s. Then the course was easy for a while.
Tried to dig deep down the hill and was working hard, though didn't feel like I was moving all that much. Knew that everyone would be in the same boat so it was ok.
7 was the next thinking I really had to do, but I saw the pass with the crags and then or was easy. Still fighting for 8 & 9 then.
Saw Colm & Josh ahead of me too 10. Tried my damnedest but was still reduced to a walk.
11 I had to read the map, seemed lower than I anticipated and I came around it a little.
More suffer climb in bog to 12 and I was Fighting pretty hard mentally. Reached the limit on 13 and just ran past it, looking for a hill that didn't exist because of the new map symbol no one told us about. Dropped 47s according to splits browser but it was less than that really.
Then back to trivial orienteering. See 14 once up the hill out of 13. 15 was climb to the very top. Follow the power lines to 16 (though it was confusing as hell with the turf cutting symbol). 17 was seen from the road and then last control. No speed on the legs to finish.
Disappointed with the result but I really tried hard and left what I could put there, so also satisfied I did my best. Kinda weird mix... Course was way too easy and some of the blame for that probably lies with me being technical standards director but not sure what I could have done about it. The M10 course was waaaaaaay too hard do some work to do somewhere. Anyway, reset the system and recover food the long now.

Cool down. A bit with Colm M but mostly headed up the road with Marcus. Not much power left in the legs, they'll need some rest before tomorrow.
