IOC Long - M21E - Routegadget
Long day at the office. Started well, tried to pace it but somehow had a top class split up to 4. Couldn't quite hold it for the whole race and Marcus only got ahead of me in results terms on 17. Miss for me on 22 didn't help. Bit reminiscent of my 4th in 2015 really.

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.

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.

Warm up, easing out the legs after driving to Sligo. Few drills and strides and felt ready for a nice little cruise.

IOC sprint - 13th - map
Cruised around as per the plan. Not the most interesting course but really nice to get a little hit out. As per usual HR didn't pair just for the race. Few oddities, notably #3 which was on one side of the uncrossable fence but was actually "in" the fence with no clarity from the descriptions. Drew with Marcus so obviously perfect pacing.

Easy over to Stabby. For like the 4th time I've decided to go to Stabby a train came and the level crossing closed. Today I wanted to go enough that I did an extra loop and got there just as it opened. Sun shining and did a lap of the elljusspår. Very nice and legs feeling good as I woke up. Finished with 4 strides and I'm pretty ready for a few races this weekend. Looking forward to it.

Easy one out to Gränby. Nice enough evening and included 8x 1min pick ups with 1 mins rest, mostly concentrating on form and feeling like I had a nice flow running. Still feel a little low on sleep but the legs were great. Saw a hare.

Mostly grand through the day but after stopping working was feelig pretty tired. Took some motivation to get out the door but did it anyway. Nice evening with the sun out and a light breeze. Not moving fantastically at first and felt stiff but loosened up after a bit and in the end had a nice run.
