Training Log Archive: niamh

Taking a bit of time off training. Probably need about a week. Completely wrecked from the last month. Lots of good competitions, but not its time to get some energy back and get training again.

Event: NI Sprint / Middle Distance Championships
 

Need to do better warm-ups.

Northern Ireland Champs, sprint (and WOC selection).
Tried today, but I was just plain tired. Only one big mistake, 18 seconds to number 14, and that was because of the 'uncrossable-crossable fence' thing. I missed the crossing point and kept running along the fence, thinking that I'd hop over it later - forgetting that the event instructions said that all crossable fences should be treated as uncrossable. Realised it just as I was looking for a nice place to jump the fence and had to run back to the crossing point. I think this is an addition to the debate on ColmM's log log - in this case, even if you read the info, you don't necessarily remember it when there is lactate pumping around your system!
Staying on the small path south from 17 to 18 was probably a better route. The course made good use of the area, which was rather llimited. Amazing to have hot shower facilities on site :-)

Northern Ireland Champs, middle, Men's open
Easy run around the course. There was nothing challenging, especially when running slowly, but it was enjoyable and parts of the forest were beautiful. It was also a good chance to experiment with SI air.

Easy around Newbridge before heading to Dublin.

Attempted run but no energy in my legs or mind yet. Mapped a bit for the Curragh event instead.

3rd leg on CNOC team with Caoimhe and Ruth. Defended our title :-).
