Event: Leinster League, Glenreemore Valley
 

No runny nose or sore throat and so in that respect, I am in good order, but my heart is hammering along and it feels like I am running a slight temperature. Did nothing but rest today, apart from checking animals twice.

A bit miserable today

Called off Glenreemore yesterday. Planner had 4 longest courses immediately crossing river after start. I moved the start to other side of river but was mindful that rain during early hours oof Sunday morning could cause problems. The river rises and falls quickly, a matter of hours. There was no backup plan should the river be up and I couldn't rule out the possibility of heavy rain on Sunday morning.

Have since seen that alternative courses that avoid crossing river can be done, so this will be backup in 2 weeks.

My cold is worse today, so perhaps just as well the event is off, don't think I would be fit to do controlling duties.

My annual VHI cold. Every year I get a cold during same week as VHI, twice before and other times after. With Zoe having cold during weekend, no surprise to end up with it

To Glenreemore to get idea of river levels during rain. Very high. Weekend rain won't be as heavy, in fact forecast is all over the place and there may be not much rain. Will make call tomorrow.
