| Note | |
| intended running in college before heading home. then a storm arrived. pissed down for over an hour. and then kept rainign. decided to go out anyway, but then found i forgot my shoes.
didn't even have a raincoat so waited for the rain to lighten off a bit before leaving. instead of running watched a vg documentary about the perch of the nile and the industry around it and how the local population in tanzania live on the edge of famine and war as russians fly all the fish to europe (they leave skeletons and heads for the locals to eat) and return with kalashnikovs and the like for the congo and rwanda etc. what a wonderful world... then watched an argentine film about a hardened criminal save his family from destitution and singlehandedly kill a gang and some corrupt police and walk off alone into the sunset.. a bit clichéd but good nevertheless. anyhhow, back to training, missed a couple of planned sessions this week, not very happy about it and it's getting at my motivation levels. I think i need a holiday or to run a billygoat or something :) have been doing quite a bit of core strength exercises recently with the irish champs in mind... | ||
Sunday Apr 23 | ||
| running 45:00 [2] | |
| Chateau de la madeleine
wasn' breaking any speed records... did a couple of fast 30s towards the end just to see carlingford map | ||
Friday Apr 21 | ||
| trail run hills 46:07 [4] | |
| côtes d'orsay
from 430 two easy loops, then ran the uphills in 1:40; 1:38; 1:36; 1:37 happy enough, stomach/heart/lungs working really hard upon reaching the top. with one week until the irish champs not feeling too bad. should be fitter of course... long easy hill session sunday, then a few easy/fast runs next week... | ||
Wednesday Apr 19 | ||

| trail run warm up/down 10:00 [3] | |
| orienteering 1:11:23 [4] *** 11.6 km (6:09 / km) +285m 5:29 / km | |
| Third day of the SW,
chasing start. Carsten won again in 10140, 4 mins ahead of J-MP, despite losing a minute and a half on the third control (fastest split, me!) he runs way too fast too consistently i actually made a real mistake on the second last control. Otherwise it wouldn't have been interesting... Caught the guy 30 seconds ahead of me just past the start flag (he was wondering where it was, i presume). ran pretty hard most of the way. happy with the training here and the races, even if nothing was particularly technical | ||
Sunday Apr 16 | ||
| orienteering race 1:10:48 [5] *** 12.2 km (5:48 / km) +290m 5:11 / km | |
| Day 2
Carcans Maubuisson (SW of) This was tough. No reason to slow down to look at the map until maybe the 11th control, and again the thirteenth, and those two only because i made small mistakes... again physical until the end. nearly died from running too fast several times... starting to find out what elite orienteering is about perhaps :) finally beaten marcus :) but still 11 minutes behind Carsten (4minutes off 2nd)... Carsten got almost alll the fastest splits, 20 seconds lost total... | ||
| trail run warm up/down 10:00 [3] | |
Saturday Apr 15 | ||
| orienteering race 45:33 [4] *** 7.9 km (5:46 / km) +150m 5:16 / km | |
| Frencch 3 days of SW
near Bordeaux Lacanau south long middle distance - CarstenJ won in 37:36 - it appears he wants to make a comebcak for WOC this year... made a couple of mistakes - notably lost a bit over a minute on the 7th... not a good idea. Came 7th overall (4th tomorrow) 7 seconds down on MarcusPinker terrain not overly technical, but all the maps are 1:15, and they are a little dodgy in places... | ||
| trail run warm up/down 10:00 [3] | |

| IR Picardie
reasonable course, messed up 4th control several minutes. more stupidly, I spent Thursday evening, Friday, Saturday fighting off a sore throat. Did manage to more or less get rid of it, but wasn't fully better. Came down with horrible cold which knocked me out for a week. Stupid boy. Stupid. | ||
