Checking out how slippy the lap is......answer is very after the rain over night. Then being nosey and seeing what the TV cameras were all about......assumed they must be for me :D

Last chance probably on the course so wanted to leave it on a good note especially since Sport Ireland were there with cameras for European Sports Week.

There was a solid turn out and some fast(ish) looking guys so again I was hopeful to have someone to play with......after 300m I had a look over my shoulder and there was clear air. Was more agressive on the slippy downhills and also along the rocky/rooty trail by the river which was had to get any grip when moving along so on lap 2&3 I moved onto the wet grass along the side of the trail where I could in the hope of faster running.......and had to look good since there were cameras rolling (as in footage as supposed to someone dropped it down the hill)...No sign of Ming the Merciless

(As you can tell by the table, I have no work to do today and have some spare time!)

At 3000m today the time was 10;36 while last week was 10:41 and prior to that it was 10:37.

Focused a bit more on the middle laps this week and pushed a bit more for the final half lap. Should a race write up be this in depth for a parkrun?

Jog along the trail towards the bridge marshal. Had to stop the watch since he was curious about what I was splitting for the laps

Another Lap and a half or so before heading home to track the guys at JEC Long distance and the World Cup Middle. Gonna have some choco moons too and really live the dream!

Just a handy 7km again after work. Started early today so i could finish early. Got caught in a really heavy shower and chased by a dog but apart from that just a nice head clearing trot at the end of the week.

We were up late in the pub last night, bit of a sing song! Man with a guitar, man with an accordion and ample drinks for the gang (some of whom were worse for wear this morning). I slipped away after the soccer highlights and the free food.

7km loop in between work and dealing with people

Productive day at work and then one of those runs where it just felt easy. Musical journey through Fleetwood Mac and ELO for this hour. 2 days to the weekend which is a nice boost. Going to parkrun Saturday morning and try a double ascent of Croagh Patrick on Sunday. Zacosh & Dadosh off to Austria for JEC so I'll try to track those races aswell.

Lot of work to get through today and this evening

Planned day off

Light totter around the carpark before the start

Sligo-Leitrim-Roscommon-Area Orienteering Club event, not sure what they go by after todays meeting.......They mentioned maybe SLR-O is more accurate..


Quick planning and decided to wipe out the north section first, south section second and the eastern section at the end. Ran out of time to get the last 2*10 point controls but had planned a get out of jail option. Nice course even if the map was a bit touch and go in places with extra tracks causing issues at a few controls and felling in others. Good to get a gallop with a map.

C • SligO 1

Collecting controls for the SOC gang before the committee meeting.......a group im apparently part of.
