Event: Leinster Orienteering Championships, Brockagh Mountain; East Top + Mall Hil
 

The goal was to be fluent and stay focused.
I knew there would be a lot of compass running today.

The start got delay by one hour which didn't help.
There was chaos at the start box which did not install a lot of trust in the organisers.

I was finally on the way and thankfully the first control was enough to get to so was number 2.
3 was a longer leg and I met Brian Corbett on the way to the same control. We made good headway and I stayed through to my compass heading. No issue to c4 but I was off my heading for c5, came across a control I was sure wasn't mine had to relocate and found myself too low of c5. Once relocated no issue too with c5.
No Issue to c6 although the control was very low and could only be seen when you were right on top of it.
A long agonising way to c7 into a strong wind and not really fast underfoot. Rounded the head nicely and contoured well and go the control were expected. It was slow going and the split times reflect that.
Uphill to C8 and was off the bearing to c9 but quickly re-adjusted. Dropped a min here.
Long leg to C10, very proud of the fasted split as it included a quick pit stop :)
Slow going again to C11 but no issues here, off bearing again to c12 but relocated quick enough but dropped another 3 min here.
c13 was no issue, I had a lapse of concentration to c14 not checking my numbers correctly , happy enough with the rest of the controls to finish. Surprised myself how was I actually .
