Definitely practice for next weekend but pressure to race increased with a few raiders down from Leinster.
Started ok, 2 was a bit messy, but not much time lost. 3 was then a long slog uphill on the road, and then I wasn't that smart in the circle.
Downhill on the track by the open was interesting as there were 2 single wire fences running across the track. I saw them but it's possible Killian may not have seen one so that one was a bit lower when I crossed it!
Caught Conall at 4. So from then on it became easier in one sense but also more pressure physically. Having another body definitely helped with some controls as they were hidden by the rhododendron. Both overshot 5 down the hill, I did see the knoll to my left but didn't see the control. Found it climbing back up the hill.
10 was tough to get at. And then I missed 11 so had to chase down the hill but Conall missed the bridge over the river so I saw him below me as I ran across. But then he got to 12 ahead of me, I was a bit to the left.
Chasing him again up the hill to 14. Didn't see him cut in. Think I was lucky here, thought I was too high, cut in and met the 2nd gully, and control was then only slightly lower than I was. Though Conall was ahead so pushed it down the hill and along the road. Somehow direction wasn't good for 17 either at the end.
A few hard/lucky falls in the rhododendron. Took a few bruises home with me. Right calf wasn't feeling great in the car driving home. Iced it and stretched it. Feeling better before bed. Need to watch it.

Tír na Spideoige
Distance and time have been altered to include what happened after the batter in my watch ran out. Time is moving time, an estimate. Plenty of stopping to check control site, if I was in the right place, and make a few map changes.
Colder than Kerry, so was a chilly start. Marshes were definitely cold. But didn't get cold. Did start to drizzle a bit towards the end, thought it was going to last but it didn't.
Definitely tired by the end.
Intrigued by what I saw where I parked my car. A pile of about 20 used tea bags.

Castleross & Knockreer
Another lunch time run, that’s 2 this week, and 2 half days this week. Hadn’t planned on a half day today but realised that had too much flexi so needed to get rid of some.
Bit faster run today but legs felt better than Wednesday. Runs have been getting faster pace wise. That sounds like a good thing but probably need to be careful.
Bit of a cold shower in the middle of the run.
More or less a flat run but made sure to keep the pace up on the hill.

Right glute felt a bit weird after running yesterday so was wondering how the change to the bike would go, but it behaved itself.
Happy enough with the spin, keeping the body ticking over.

Knockreer and Ross Castle
Cheeky little nod to the day that’s in it to start off the run ❤️ Zoom in on the GPS!
After that I headed for Ross castle and did a loop down there, some on trails. Before coming back.
Legs were sort of ok. Arches are still sore after the spikes on Sunday, calves were fine, but upper leg, maybe groins felt a bit tight. Need a bit of stretching. Have been lazy on that activity over the last few days.
Half day and it was a nice afternoon.

(rest day)
Added a rest day into the mix. Legs tired. Also had dentist after work so that was going to affect the evening. Just a check up of the recent work, all healed, so good result.

Maybe I'll get to Tír na Spideoige this week! Must also take at least a half day this week so that could have a bearing on training plans too.

Added some time to watch, didn’t start watch at the start.
Decided to put some effort into this rather than be recovery, then take a rest day tomorrow. Happy enough with how the legs were feeling.
