Apparently I messed up booking our flights home and I was on a different one from Gina. That meant I had a 4 hour wait in Dublin Airport as two separate lifts to the airport was not a thing. Very tired then for the day and had a lazy afternoon watching TV because we could.

Lap of Glendalough with Regina, Ruth & Don. Started up Camaderry the steep way and around anti-clockwise. Very enjoyable. Actual moving time 5 hours. It was not very high intensity and I forgot my HRM.
Nice leisurely day out. Sun was there in patches but pretty windy on the ridge the whole day. Shorts and fleece mostly as the rain looked like it might come a few times but never did. There was a hilarious incident where Don followed me through a bog and tried to use my footsteps but he got properly stuck. Had to do a whole team rescue operation as he was in deeper than the knee with both legs.
Raced with Gina for most summits so there were some sprints thrown in for good measure. Don got the jump on me on one when I wasn't paying attention, but then there wasn't any cairn so it wasn't a real victory for him. On the last I was held back so also carried Ruth up the hill. That was very hard.

Have been taking it super easy this week. Few nights having some drinks with friends and catching up with people in Ireland. Met up with Johnny yesterday and had a chat about the WOC build up, how it went and what next.
Short term, the plan is to take a training break now until September. That is still do stuff and I should be ready to do 80k a week in September but do whatever I feel like rather than having a committed structure. Then I'll get into proper training. From that perspective I don't think it makes sense to do the SHI.
Long term, I'm looking at WOC 2019 in Norway.
For the next year, important races will be:
25manna 2017
Tiomila 2018
IOC - Yes I think IOC and not EOC, in order to save up holidays to go on a trip with what next summer should be my new wife.
Jukola 2018

Easy morning run around Rathmines and Harold's Cross. Felt pretty rough really but it was very nice to get out before it started classic Dublin drizzle pretty much as soon as I got back. Hills seemed way harder than they should and I got a head rush after one set of lights. Need more water and sleep.
