(appears that there is a problem with Routegadget and CNOC doma is down at the mo)
Eek. Another poor classic run. It was enough for the title but admittedly it didn't feel deserved.
Dropped 3 mins to 1 - ran way too far. Careful after that. -20 sec on #7 in the circle. Then another 2 mins dropped to #10. All over the place to #13 and binned another 3 mins. Frustrating. Positives: compass work was great in most places, ran well in the terrain (try to be more aggressive in the stony areas). 1 to 9 were very good, and made sure to know where I was going from 14 onwards no matter how slow I had to go.
Hadn't realised that there was a water control - definitely would have brought a gel. This might have helped on the last loop as I was totally spent. Collapsed at the finish. Much sugar and water taken on board. Poor nights sleep (Conor up and coughing) so tired going out. Food for thought on my goals for classic races this year: can I get up to a good standard by end of summer?

(Comeragh book translation of Coumshingaun was 'Pissmire'!).
Good, controlled run today. Put orienteering first and didn't get carried away with trying to run fast. Thought that the map was fantastic.

Thought that the course was planned really well making the best use of a limited area. Straightforward to most. Stopped briefly at 9 to see if there was a gap in the hedge - there is, but it was hard to see as the number 9 was printed over the gap. Disappointed to get caught on the wrong side at 14, no excuses, should have read the description. Delighted to stay ahead of the young seniors/juniors for another year :-).
