Worse for wear after the wind farm. Open wound on the sole of my foot, maybe from a shard of granite or a bit of glass. Walking with a hobble so keeping in clean and hoping it closes up soon, Data Manager training tomorrow for my positional move should rest it, few days forced off running again after a wasted week of training.

Short but tough day, covered 40km^2 today and a lot in the forest. It was dense and green but better than the other sections which still smell from the major fires earlier this year, bit dodgey walking past trees which were burned black up to 2-3 metres above a charred ground.


On the plus side it was Bacon and Cabbage for lunch today and its good fun going into 4*4 in the Hilux on narrow flooded tracks and minor trails.

Long day at Doon Wind Farm in Galway. Pretty sure in the safety gear I looked more like a missing member of the Village People as supposed to anything else!

Help Padraig set up and talked a few new people through how to orienteer........since im such a fountain of knowledge....The short loop to warm up, stomach still not fantastic

Fun little course apart form map errors. Back to old school punching at controls!

Sure TG has 14 WOC golds but has he ever won the orienteering at the (now 73rd) Ballygar Carnival? A highly prestigious event

Managed to not get sick which was good. Then some water and a cool down jog in the other direction.

After we met the overall event organiser who now thinks im some kind of orienteering superstar.......little does he know!

Collecting controls before heading home
