| Ran out to the curragh and decided to do a few controls. I think the orienteering was about 10km or so. Fairly intense stuff. Had to relocate on a few and had to really concentrate on a few is well. Harder than normal for the curragh. Will probably try to get out again to do some more control work before Bofin this weekend.
Am struggling to get HR up, probably due to no running for the best park of +4 weeks with AT. Intense training up to a weeks before JWOC training starts in Gothenburg. |

| Ran around bushy park with aoife- jogging on the trails but i'd vier off and sprint along some tiny forest path before joining back up with the trail. Easy easy running part from that. Warm evening and bouncy trails |

| My mam was complaining that she got lost on the curragh. So i told her to grab her kit and we headed sunny hill direction. Took a few easy controls and i found her problem. She gets a compass baring and runs. Meh- it'll take more work. I have the patients of a saint! |

| Took the bike out to spin the legs. Did a few loops around the curragh camp, hitting corners fast for the adrenline rush. Took it real handy.
And of course it began to piss rain.
Note- 2hrs sleep + exams = bad/no training |

| Curragh Summer League
Fast paced as always. I planned it a while ago so i'm down as NC which got a great laugh out of everyone, slagging me with my name down the bottom of results. Had one 1:30 slip and one 30 slip but that was kinda cause i couldn get into the control (furzes :) ). Twas good fun- we chickened out of doing the ultra long (17km) due to 11km hurting enough and general humidity! |

| Control collecting and cool down jog. Legs very sore |

| Note | |
| (rest day) |
| Today was a well deserved rest day. Besides i had an exam, a horribly gory film in the form of Nazi Zombies to watch (Outpost), and to go on a cafe crawl, sampling coffee's, tea's and hot chocolates before a bitching session on which is the best 90's music- o the shame |
