| west around slievemore to far above the start of the deserted village, more or less, back via the megalithic tomb. ahh the history :) | ||
Friday Jul 29 | ||
| bogtrotting 1:06:00 [3] | |
| I think this was a Slievemore run, otherwise it was a beaches run with a run around the coastal rocks between valley and golden strands to give the extra six or seven minutes. memory fails me :) | ||

| bogtrotting hills 1:33:59 [3] | |
| Up Minaun from Dugort, all in terrain. Foggy day, only nshine to be seen ws halfway up on Maumnaman... Walked some of the steeper bits, was tired on the way back...
Pity I didn't do this run again, had planned on it... | ||
| other 3:00 [1] | |
| apart from running, the days before my parents' arrival were exercise-filled - this day I cycled over an hour and a half and walked maybe four hours... which was pperhaps a little excessive.
But in general, cycling over to Keel, going down swimming in Dugort or playing with the dogs or building dams with ismael or whatever is hefty cross-training. | ||
Tuesday Jul 19 | ||
| bogtrotting 1:07:56 [3] | |
| northways around slievemore, Achill Island. Came up the day before after spending sunday night in dublin airport.
36:43 out, 31:13 back, not optimal routes I don't think. All entries from here until the end of my stay in Achill (11th August) were posted from memory so may contain inaccuracies. Times are correct, stored on watch. | ||
Sunday Jul 17 | ||
| orienteering race 1:18:21 [5] ***** 8.7 km (9:00 / km) | |
| Bal des Rochers
Day 2 A big improvement. A really big improvement. Lovely terrain. Made a few small mistakes, mostly interpretation. There was a map exchange at the 24th, the red line from the 23rd ended in the middle of nowhere (close to the finish/spectator area) in the direction of an OOB area. I had my map folded so as to not see control 24 on the other side of this... lost almost two minutes working out what the hell was going on. writing this a month on... so perhaps less details here than otherwise. It was hot. It became very hot, almost 40 degrees if not. I nearly died before getting the car to Montpellier airport (merci sandra!) to go to Frankfurt whence to Dublin. | ||
Saturday Jul 16 | ||
| orienteering 30:00 [3] | |
| Au Caylar, after the "Spriddle" decided to go up into the interesting terrain and see how difficult it was. Very was the answer, don't know if this is cos it wasn't competition, the terrain was overly difficult or (as i suspect) the map was very dodgy...
only did two-thirds of what I had planned because of my difficulties and went slower than intended. was out for maybe 45 minutes | ||
| orienteering race 26:39 [5] 5 km (5:20 / km) +55m 5:03 / km | |
| Bal des Rochers, Day 1
A big disappointment. After the superb five days the expectations were high and the coure setting didn't live up to them. Maybe one or two moderately technical controls, other than that excessively easy with good visibility and the easier bits of the maps used. guuh. A lot of peopple were angry after the race. Oh, and too short. Hellooo, middle distance. | ||
Friday Jul 8 | ||

| Ruisseau de la Foulerie
Chiny TriO Match FRSO LIFCO reasonably happy with the race. Made several mistakes fairly late on - 28,29,30 - which were annoying... but was running better, still not powerful but getting back towards classic fitness. Technical race, as was the middle the day before. And lovely forest to run through. Walked around Bruxelles and Gand/Gent/Ghent for a while before taking a hostel. | ||
| running warm up/down 10:00 [2] | |
| To the start of the classic | ||
Saturday Jul 2 | ||
| trail run warm up/down 25:00 [2] | |
| To the start of the middle, to and from the Sprint start/finish areas. | ||
| orienteering race 54:41 [4] 6.13 km (8:55 / km) +190m 7:43 / km | |
| Belgian TriO - three races two days around Chiny (World Cup 2002 terrain). Didn't recognise any of the forest :)
Made a huge mistake on the 4th, or at least lost contact and couldn't quite make sense of where I was... lost maybe 5 minutes? Another big mistake (worse, even if I lost less time) on the 9th, bad route choice to the tenth... FPasquasy ran 40 minutes, and he lost 4 minutes on the tricky fourth control. Lovely forest (Le Taillis des Prussiens) to run through | ||
| orienteering race 20:38 [5] 3 km (6:53 / km) +90m 5:59 / km | |
| Sprint Race Chiny
Lost a couple of minutes early on in the race, gained back ten seconds by not punching the 11th control - had preplanned route out of 10 back towards 11, but this was also the good route to go towards 12... je m'en veux... going to stop making cockups... | ||
Friday Jul 1 | ||
| running 35:30 [3] | |
| Parc Montsouris / Subiaco
WC Sprint race - didn't run wonderfully :) short today, heavy weekend ahead, plus lunch was waiting | ||
