SHI Relays,
Good fun and great to be in a race with a couple of Irish juniors. Good runs from both the first and second legs put the three Irish teams out within a couple of minutes and still in contention with some of the English and Scottish teams.
Had a bit of a scappy race, losing a little time in quite a few places (often due to suspect mapping and not being able to see a tree in the forest...) and didn't have any top gear, but really enjoyed it, even when it started lashing.
Saw quite a bit of Ruairi and Conal throughout the race, all making small mistakes at different times. Came through the spectator together but Ruairi missed a little more on the last loop allowing Conal and me through (and Mat Fellburn). Got to the last control first but didn't have either the inclination or need (or ability) to out sprint Conal.
Good day for all the Irish teams and great to see everyone running decent times. Also thanks for FERMO for not disqualifying me as I forgot to punch the finish control (there was a finish line).
