My first competitive run in this area and its fantastic. Really enjoyed it. on the whole got on well. physically quite good. No calf or ankle issue and no throat/chest complaints either and managed to run well for the bulk of the terrain.
No where near clean. Dropped time at 4 controls, about 7 minutes in all, but I beat ALL the M21Es to the last control and I even walked a bit of it. What were you all up to?
So no major blunders but can be so much better.
Tomorrow will be fun. Colm O'Halloran is starting 27 secs behind me. On the ups and flats I'm much faster, but I can't match him on the downhill or technically. An uphill finish would suit me grand...
Interesting the progression in my contact lens wearing in past couple years.
Shamrock day 3 last year was the first time I wore contact in each eye for mountain orienteering. I used +1.5 in each. Up till then it was just a single +1.5.
Today it was +2.5 and + 2.25 which was what I've been using for sprints this year. I will now need to get stronger lens for sprints. The rapid deterioration in the eyes has astonished me.

Missed Roar for the chat and no one else seemed up for one. Took most of run quite easy, only descent off Boots and final km or so did I go harder.
Ankle and calf will be fine for weekend. Still coughing a bit

Just jogged around at warmup pace, and stayed on paths for longer than I'd normally. Nav was tidy at my slow pace.
Calf was fine, didn't tape ankle so it's ok.
Calf sore when I got home.
30+min delay on M50 on the way. Almost turned around.

Note
(injured) (sick)
Kick from the cow today, smack on the calf which has stiffened up and then because I was hobbling I twisted my ankle later in day. Won't stop me from doing the O tomorrow or hill run on Wed, but don't know if I'll be running well.
