Oncall and got paged at 05:45. Did get back to sleep for a bit but still justfeeling quite tired all day. The prospect of this wasn't super fun, and my headphones are broken. Once I got changed and out the door though it went great. Felt like I didn't have to work that hard to hold the pace and legs were just cruising along so in the end was very enjoyable. Lungs still maybe a little weird if I went any faster, which I noticed on the ringsend park hill but mostly not an issue. At the start hamstring was possibly the least sore it's been since Feb, but it got a bit tight then in the last 10 mins which was a bit annoying.

Before the run it felt like the chances of this gym happening were very close to 0, but after I felt more awake and energetic thatn I had done all day.

In Rush this morning. Easy warm up to South Beach, and along the coast. Convenient because there was a toilet there. Legs feeling alright, R Hamstring it's usual grumpy self on starting but not bad really. Then back to Teso where the start was for some drills/strides.

Sprint Camp #4 - Rush KO Q simulation
Started a good gap behind Kev, though Gina was in the middle somewhere. Started strong through the park, which was the trickiest orienteering in some ways but kept it clean and then got the right route to 5 and passed Gina here. Short course so pushing hard, but got 6/7/8/9 all right I think. 10 was tricky, much longer leg and harder to see which was going to be better. Did a super rough measure with the compass and picked right, also fewer corners. Was starting to struggle a little with the headwind on the way out, but it wasn't too long and pushed on after the turn. Wall hop was a bit of a challenge, was very high. Last squeeze to the finish and avoided the final hill.
30s down on Kev, that's pure speed on this course, but I'm not too put out by that. Happy enough.

After grabbing some pasta in Tesco for a sneaky lunch, went a a coffee shop for a drink and then headed to Skerries. Warm up, with Kev for the first bit, then he waited for Niamh while I jogged up to the start with Gina. Did my drills and strides then on the waterfront, lovely spot for hit. R hip starting to feel like I'd done a lot of running but ok. Not feeling the effects of the morning too much.

Niamh & Kev never showed up so started jogging back the ways a bit, but didn't get very far before Gina rang.

Skerries - KO Finals simulation - Sprint camp #5
We decided to split the course in 2 to have more mass start practice. Me, Kev & Niamh in the starts.
Together for 1, but opposite route choices for 2. Mine was better and I got a gap. Was running hard and felt like I had the right route but then absolutely flubbed it by reading from the wrong gap and had no idea what was going on on the main road. 30s wasted figuring it out, so pretty dire. Saw Niamh & Kev coming back but took the alternate for 4 from them, working hard and got to it before Niamh and didn't feel like I was miles off Kev but catching him was never happening.
Took about 5 mins rest before round 2. Took the opposite choice from the other 2 and was astounded when I never even saw them in the alley. It was windy and thought we'd crash on one of the corners but didn't see them until the main road on the way to 8 and they were miles ahead! (Turns out they'd both mispunched, which was funny because Josh was at it with his camera and it was the one control on the course that had a kite as a result.). Catching this was always going to be hard, and then I had to wait to cross the road which didn't help. Had picked right for 9, but then couldn't figure out where the crossable wall was and did the faffy double 180 which was hella slow and the gap to Niamh stayed constant on this, Kev going the same way as me. Picked alternate to Kev for 10, just snuck in front of Gina going through the tiny gap but there was no closing him down.
Nice training. Didn't handle the pressure of leading the pack very well, also lack of sprint practice at v high speed a bit. On 9 I didn't have a re-asses plan, when I missed the wall crossing I didn't know what to do and just stuck with the original though at that point changing was clearly better.
Positives though, the running felt much stronger than in Edinburgh. Probably a bit shorter efforts but still felt like I was going quick towards the end of both today.
Thanks for the planning Conor!

Cool down, but then it started lashing and I didn't have my jacket so bailed after not too long. Clearly brain was tired as I made a mistake jogging the route for 9 backwards :D

To the start, but I stopped in the forest to pee and everyone ran on. They had told me which entrance it was at so I went there, but there was no one in sight. Josh arrived looking for somewhere to film and told me where they were. They had got lost and I had ran past that spot before them.

4x Short technical orienteering courses with a focus on looking for route choices. Ran them at a ~steady pace but also had quite long rests in between waiting for others. Legs feeling smooth running. Did try to work on control entry/exit and being efficient with turning.

After a small bit of faff trying to find parking where we felt we wouldn't get clamped, bit of a jog around the park. Legs a bit tired now tbh.

Swords - Route Choice - Sprint Camp #3
Idea today was to run at a slow to moderate pace, but get every shortest route and really should be getting over 90%. With only 19 controls, that only left just about 2 mistakes allowed.
In the end I had 3 :( Was good early but was wrong on 7, where my route wasn't actually even possible because they gate had been walled off. Missed a dead-end on a longer leg to 10, that meant the longer but easier route to 16 later was too many. Fun exercise, surprisingly nice area too.

Cool down with Kev. Fairly token, but hadn't been going that fast so seems fair.

Note
Still kinda feel like I haven't got my breath back properly which is a bit odd. Just feel like I need a really deep breath more often than normal. Could easily just be psychological. I also write this while wearing a mask on the Luas. Was always planning to take it easy at the sprint camp today anyway so we'll see what happens.

ahr:134 max:157 spiked:21/23c shoes: On Cloudrunner Wide '14
On the train to Coolmine after work for session #1 of the during camp, actually quite convenient. Bit of a warmup around Porterstown park with Jack, which is very nice and then straight into it.
Cruising, getting into the flow of things not going to hard. Breathing felt back to normal as well. Felt like I was getting the routes alright and flowing very nicely, but easy when you're going a bit slower. Nice enough area actually as well so it did feel like the map reading warmup for the weekend was worth it
Bit of a jog after testing a few of the routes, did get 3 wrong, and 5 option was very slightly slower.
Thanks for the planning Paul!
