Orienteering race 1:02:00 [3] 4.5 km (13:47 / km)
shoes: Icebug Spirit Olx
Ticknock Forest - Green Course
The start of the course was kinda easy, there was barely any route choice and it was basically following tracks. I was doing fine until number 4, where I lost 12 minutes over unmapped vegetation changes. This was dissapointing because I was near the control but I got confused and thought I had gone to far. The rest of the course was alright, but I would have done much better if I'd taken a differant route to number 4 that didn't involve going through the area with that vegetation.

Orienteering (Training) 1:00:00 [3]
3rd Day of Training - Fascally
Started off by putting out 3 controls, but they weren't very hard - track junctions, hills and corners of car parks. Then I ran a course from the Women's JEC Relays. I really liked the terrain, and I had no major mistakes apart from some slower hesitant areas. I was running the same course as Niamh and she got back ahead of me (unsurprisingly) but I was happy with the course :)

Orienteering (Training) race 30:00 [3] ***
Wasn't very many of us left for training in the afternoon, and we just did a course somewhere. I think it was about 2.5k? I had a bad route choice to the first control, but I did alright for the the rest of the course, apart from being slow up the hills as usual.

1st Day of Training - The Hermitage
We started of by running a bit of a course around The Hermitage. The main point was to make plans and stick to them, which wasn't too hard. It was hard to run because of a lot of fallen trees, but nice training.

I went with Aoife around the first 8 controls of the M21E course, and we did pretty awful in places, especially one control in particular where I'm not completely sure what happened, but it was fun :)

JK Day 4, Newtyle Hill - Relays
I ran 2nd Leg in the Women's Short with Niamh and Ruth. I was really happy with my run after, all the legs were pretty short and fast. I was a bit slow for the 1st control, up the hill, but I'm happy with the rest of the course :)
