Scarr - Leinster League
Plan was to run hard, if possible in this terrain. And this wasn't helped when I saw the registration form at the start, courses close at 8.30pm!!!
Pretty happy with how I ran. Only real mistakes were the route I took between 20 and 21, and also the finish. Think my route to 25 wasn't great either, ended up too high. Not ideal to 14, hit the ride too far south, but had followed a ride to get in.
Physical start in some forest with a control pick, no issues, then uphill to 6 was tough, and the following few controls were in even more physical forest.
Had a look at the rest of the course after leaving 9, starting the trek to 10. The hill actually had some runnable ish bits. Only had 3 controls on top before dropping back down.
14 was ok, other route to follow the yellow ride may have been better, but took the safer option. 15-17 were in a felled area, not difficult, before running through the start again.
18 was in an area I always seem to struggle in so focused on getting a good attackpoint. After climbing the hill the control was where I expected it to be:-)
Tough getting to 19 and 20.
To 21 I wanted to hit the end of the track, but missed it low. Then hit the stream, thought I was higher up but wasn't, so then went straight through the forest coming out on the road near 21.
Then up the road before cutting in next to the ride for 22. Was going to go all the way around to 23 on the track but cut across. 24 was fine. And then to 25 I hit the stream too far up, getting caught in some heavy going getting there.
26 was ok. And then hit the track and ran down the hill, thought the area with banks around it was where registration was, it wasn't, so had to run back up to punch the finish.
Felt tired going towards 25 but happy enough with my run today.
If I hadn't been there today an even older vet would have won another Leinster League event. Irritates me that this happens!
