Run - Orienteering race 27:40 [5] ** 5.7 km (4:51 / km) +45m 4:40 / km
spiked:16/18c slept:8.0 (injured) shoes: VJ Falcons 09

IOC Relays, Magilligan (the flat boring bit). Mostly very easy and all very fast; very short grass, a lot of fences and an occasional contour; not my cup of tea at the best of times, and not what I wanted after yesterday.
Ran the middle leg with Boyzone on first and Bill anchoring. Boyzone did of course come back in the lead, which meant I was being chased by Roar. Ran as hard as my body was capable of today, two small hesitations may have cosy me about 20 seconds, but aside from that I just don’t yet have the speed. Had the slightly shorter gaffle so managed to keep a slender lead for Bill, but it wasn’t enough as c.hill was in a rage after the previous two days and was in no mood to let experience triumph over youth. So a good victory to the wee lads from CNOC but it did take 18 broken bones from me to allow them to do it…

Run - Trail warm up/down 10:00 [3] 1.5 km (6:40 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcons 09

Warm up with Boyzone. Sort of forgot about warming down.

Run - Trail warm up/down 15:00 [2] 2.4 km (6:15 / km)
shoes: VJ Falcons 09

Run to the start and then a few bits and pieces to keep warm and lose but not to tire me out!
3 PM

Run - Orienteering race 1:17:44 [5] **** 12.9 km (6:02 / km)
spiked:26/28c slept:8.0 (injured) shoes: VJ Falcons 09

IOC Classic, Magilligan – 6th (1st: Nic 71.55). This area was unrecognisable to the area that I ran the SHI in 5 years ago; instead of thick knee high grass in was mostly grazed to ground level, making it a good 2mpk quicker. Unfortunately my legs were only capable of running 1 mpk quicker, and that hurt a lot. Was about as clean as possible in a race like this, probably loosing a total of less than 30 seconds, but there was a lot of easy navigation and fast running so surprised to only being 6 minutes down (and two on third) – and at 72 minutes, yet another drastically under planned IOC (but I wasn’t complaining this year). Swdesport took a much deserved title (and probably not his last – but hopefully I’ll have some say in that next year). Disappointed that I wasn’t able to be competitive but also happy that I can manage what I did.

Event: Irish Orienteering Championships
 
7 PM

Run - Trail warm up/down 17:00 [2] 3.0 km (5:40 / km)
(injured) shoes: Asics Gel GT 1120 07

A decent enough warm up trying to get some life into my legs.
8 PM

Run - Orienteering race 18:01 [4] ***** 2.3 km (7:50 / km) +25m 7:26 / km
spiked:23/25c slept:8.0 (injured) shoes: Asics Gel GT 1120 07

IOC Sprint, Coleraine University - 11th (Nic Simonin 15.35). Tiny but great little area for a sprint and a good course. Legs were very tired right from the off so was very slow, but at least I didn’t get caught out by the tricky route choice (worked that out when shown the map in the start lane) but was a numpty in two other places (7 & 10) when I went to look on the wrong side of a boundary.
Got caught by Dooby about half way and he gave me a good demonstration of how not to orienteer in a Sprint passing me plenty of times on the second half and then missing the last control in style.. Should have been a minute quicker, but did run through a tiny bit of OOB though (without realising) on the way to 19 – but I certainly wasn’t the only one as there were plenty of footprints around…

Club night event around Broomhill. It's easy when you mapped it. One grumpy resident who didn't like orienteers. Nice evening but legs very dead.

A lot of work and not a lot of time – why are there so few hours in the day?
