Event: Leinster championships Carlingford
 

Leinster Champs - Ran the long course ( you get a better feel for what the seniors are up against - respect)

I knew this would be hard - I can't remember the last time i ran for more than 1 .30 hours and it showed, the last 45 mins was just running by memory.
I was surprised that i finished in good enough form and my joints did'nt hurt so much - so that was good.

2hrs 14 mins - well down on seamus (1hr 37 mins) Hats off!

M21 - Splits

Kilbroney park sprint events - messed up the first two courses - too much of a hurry had to get to the finish without going to the last control.
Last two events better around 3 - 4 minutes

Igors maze courses - head to head racing at its best!
4 courses in about 5 mins real good fun!

Setting controls on Slievenagore for Saturdays event- had just dropped off the barriers for Igors maze.
Headed out at 10pm with 14 controls a map and headtorch.
Got back at 11.30pm - good night nav training!

Warm up climbed from top carpark to training area near top of Sl Martin.
Jogged down past the Cloughmore stone

Set controls and then shadowed Mark on a course concentrating on leg planning and attack points.

Divised a head to head race for pairs. runners set off to common first control then one goes anti-clockwise the other clockwise around a circular course (try to put each other off half way round) and then return to the same common control last for sprint finish (uphill!)

I set off against Sean first then Mark v Jack, JP v James S, Harry v Brendan and Kat v Andrea

Sean 13:16
Me 13:33

Jack 13:15
Mark 13:31

James beat JP, Brendan beat Harry and Kat beat Andrea

was good fun but the sprint finish was a killer :)
