Orienteering race 43:11 [4] **** 6.18 km (6:59 / km) +170m 6:09 / km
spiked:17/22c (injured)
Irish champs relay near the featherbeds
3rd leg of LVO team (Kieran and Declan) running on heather - peat cuttings
was tough enough navigation and had a number of 30 second mistakes losing around 3 mins total so should have run just under 40mins.
started off the pace but had a DFO fella just seconds ahead so it was going to be interesting.
we ran together for the first 9 controls and I guessed had the better of me speed wise but then a gaffle kicked in and when we came back onto the common course he was a few 100m back just held it together and finished ahead.
Other than that not much else happened - except we all probably went home and got showers/baths pretty quick as everybody looked like they had spent a shift down the pits digging coal out by hand, for some reason!

Irish champs long distance on Brockagh
Ran M40L, up against yesterdays M21 elite winner Bill Edwards so was aiming for second! ran as clean a race as possible 2 slight misses of around 20 - 30 seconds the rest was down to speed (or lack of)
Nice course with an interesting mix of legs.
lots of rock detail and little contour.
Bill ran 58mins, was happy to be runner-up to a former world champ

spiked:17/22c (injured)
Day 2 in the Mournes - Meelmore, got a lift with Declan and Ciara.
Brown course - 7.9km and 440m climb on paper - I did 540m!
Thanks for the Hill climbing practice again Des!
It was a good run all the same and a cracker day, pushed hard all the way and only lost 2-3mins max. Had a young German for company all the way he started 1min behind and ould not shake him out in the open.
Next run out is the M40 long on Sunday - I love all this orienteering with dry feet :)

Orienteering race 46:06 [5] **** 6.3 km (7:19 / km) +325m 5:49 / km
spiked:12/15c (injured)
Midweek event at Slievenagore - lots of people staying for JK/IOC there.
cracker sunny day. organised by NWOC and planned by DF
DF is a good mate and I'm not one to give off but...
Its a good job I don't mind going up hills (as long as there is more than one control at the top!)
It was a good fun run all the same and even better that I had nothing to do after/before.
Jack was 3 mins faster.
Harry lost time at 11 but ran well other than that.
