Le Revard II, Irish WOC selection. What a tough long day, but I like a lot! Never got any speed going but that was the nature of the terrain. Wasn't perfectly clean but only really lost much time on three (6,15 and 24 (2mins and two 30 seconds)). So difficult to keep in contact, have never stopped so much in a race to read the map. Beat Nic by a minute and Andrew was the only other Irish finisher - really don't know how Tero got around in 91 thought!!!!! Not got to decide if I want to do the classic at WOC.

spiked:14/16c shoes: Jalas 2010

Irish WOC selection; middle. Clean enough run (two 30 second errors, but jarred my ankle just after two and had real difficulty running in the (very rough) terrain after that, reckon I lost between 1 and 2 mins because of it, so was happy to be just a minute down on Nic and ahead of the rest of the Irish. Forest was much more open than the training areas but also had a lot more crap on the ground. Didn't even make the top 70!

Run - Orienteering 1:20:00 [2] ***** 4.3 km (18:36 / km) +150m 15:50 / km
shoes: Jalas 2010

Back on M de B. Started in the W bit and it was way easier. Then a down hill course in the tough area. Started well and got some (relative) sped and confidence going, even on a mega difficult leg. Then a minor error but had to bail out miles to relocate. Lesson learnt. Hard, hard, hard.

Run - Orienteering 49:10 [1] ***** 1.4 km (35:07 / km) +75m 27:42 / km
shoes: Jalas 2010

Line O on Montagne de Bange. Ultra had and nice terrain. 'Run' with Andrew and Toni, got lost, very lost, walking. Impossible to relocate, have to go back to last known feature. Fun.

1 PM

Run - Orienteering 53:00 [2] ***** 3.9 km (13:35 / km) +125m 11:43 / km
shoes: Jalas 2010

head to head with Andrew on M de B. No easier. But getting into the swing of things. Still very, very slow though. Very good fun but how to run fast, read the map, look at your feet and not get lost in this terrain??? Time includes 1.5km run back to the car on a path!!!

4 PM

Run - Orienteering 1:40:00 [2]
shoes: Jalas 2010

Le Prepoulain. 1:15k map. Couldn't read it on the move and wasn't much better standing still. Lots of time spent going back on myself and standing still. Great stuff. Did the first third of an M21E course - glad i didn't do the whole thing. Still not quick enough but can't speed up without losing contact and if that happens you're screwed! Still loving it though.

Run - Trail 44:45 [1]

With Faye around Redmires. Windy. Legs much more tired than I want them to be. It’s going to have to be yet another easy week with a heavy weekend tagged onto the end.
