CorkO Training Day - Tír na Spideoige
Training on some great terrain with CorkO. Decent training group of Darren, Rob, Zac, Jens, Liam and Darragh turned up this morning
First part of the training was a Line-O near where the chasing start of the Shamrock started. Pretty easy but a nice way to warm-up and get into the map.
Line-O
Next exercise was a short course (4 controls) on a map with no crags. Actually made the area a bit easier to read as it removed a lot of clutter off the map. Not sure about the finish, maybe a bit too low but there was a knoll there for sure.
No Crags Map
3rd exercise was routechoice spotting and execution. Did this in a group with robrunner, Dooby and Jens. Rob took A, Jens B, Me C and Dooby D for the first section. Seems D was the best route but general agreement that somewhere between C and D would be best. Free choice for the 2nd control. Shouldve gone a bit straighter to the control in the last section of the leg but hit the marsh and then rain down to the kite. Up to the finish where Liam C, zacosh and Tony C all started coming towards us and had to turn around to run back and get the control.
Routechoice Exercise
Final training was a course in the southern section of the map against Dooby. I went to 1 first and he went to 5 first. I was a bit hesitant to #1 and then didnt find the wall near #2 so wasnt 100% confident. Better in the end of the course to #3 and #4 and then up the hill to #5. About 1 min behind Dooby on this course, ish.
Course exercise
Good exercises. Just a bit rusty mainly but nav for the majority was good, tentative in a few places. Maybe a smidge too much just standing around though....but there are worse days and places to be standing around! Had hoped to get the horseshoe loop in Gougane barra done in the afternoon with robrunner and Conrad but the time was way later when we got down off the training so had to pull the plug on it.
