Leinster spring cup event at Trooperstown.

Part of the junior training.

I am starting to not like this area!! There is an area on the slope that is very strange - Thats my excuse anyway:)
The course was fine - controls very visible so navigation mainly compass bearing and then struggle thru the heather - great if you have long legs.

I was going along ok untill control number 17 seemed like a simple leg
compass bearing follow the contour through the marsh hit the double boulders then it all became very vague, was expecting to hit a long gully just before the depression but only found some elongated re-ents. So started to wander around aimlessly in waist deep heather scanning around for a depression.
Relocated off a watertank and paced towards the control jumped the gully and found the depression right next to a nice boulder that was strangely not on the map?

Kinda lost interest after this...

Lost 5 mins so would still have been well down on all the flying juniors!

Various training exercises with the Irish M18/20s at Brockagh.

Got the day off and went to Glenshane with Jack. 27 turned out for the race - mostly triathletes. Set off at a good clip on the first lap, 2 mile run Jack was 4th me about 12th. On the bikes, we both suffered from a lack of bike technology but pushed hard for 3 laps. Last lap another run, I thought I was going to collapse coming off the bike! legs took about 5 mins to remember how to work.
was catching up with others at the last but Jack beat me by about 20-30 secs. Great course and good to run with a load of new friendly people.
