Orienteering 58:35 [4] *** 8.0 km (7:19 / km) +150m 6:42 / km
shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

Training on Kanturk.
Started with a contour exercise for a warm up. Got 5/7 contrls.
Next we did a pack running where we were supposed to go at rest pace but unfortunately people dont understand the terminology of race pace and legged off at 200mph. Spiked my control though after watching Eoin and Laurence make a hash of theirs.
Finished with a downhill course which some of the control were on hidden features and the map on the lower slopes is lacking.
Nice day and good training both technically and physically.

Leg 1 for Gen in the JK trophy.
Stayed at the back in the mass start making sure I spiked the first one. Lost about 10secs trying to see the little hill.
4. Came down the spur but din't read the map close enough and didn't realise it was on a hill in the re-entrant 40secs
8. Lost about 30secs on the micro routes and another 15 in the circle because the form line didn't have slope lines so I believed it would be a hill and not a depression.
Clean through the rest just couldn't run I was so tired.
Came 16th overall so a good position.

Was a bit daunted by the amount of climb but managed to run all the hills except one.
2. Too high up the re-entrant 30secs
9. Hit the wrong crossin point but thought it was my mandatory one so ended up way below the control which meant a tough climb 1min

Two solid places meant I came 4th overall!!!
13 mins behind Aidan Smith which i'm a little dissapointed with but i'll get him at eyoc :)

O-ing on Masseys, last tough run before jk.

Hard to see the badly printed map but good spikes and steady pace.
Middle: 27:23 4km (4)

Cool down: 7:27
Gave my mum the warm up map after i had finished it and she had a walk around.
Feeling good in the body and head is beginning to focus. Good session before jk.
