Leinster 3 day - day 2
Scrappy early on, time losses on #1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Better in the middle, and then scrappy again in the forest.
Physically, still struggling to get moving mostly, but was able to move a little more freely on descents & occasional flats - this was positive news.
Navigating better, and generally a little stronger than last week.
Didn't get into the map particularly well early on, went round for 1, which was maybe worse anyway, and ended up just above the boulder trying to figure out which one it was.
Was slow to 2, but clean, but don't think I lost heaps, evidently wrong though.
3, I had a decent plan to stay low and look for the re-entrant, but drifted high, got confused and stopped short, 4 just hesitant.
5 lacking confidence and stopped early, and 6 just bad lines & slow moving.
To 7, came across Christian, c.hill and James. Wow. Got it okay, but slow.
Wee miss on 8. Was tucked in behind Colm and Christian for the next while then, some mental rest and happy to leave them work.
To 14 I felt Colm was starting to break, so I moved up and was fluid descending to catch up. Took over on 15, thought I was accurate, but ended up one set of crags too high, and lost some having to drop.
Fine 16, climbed an unnecessary crag on 17, and fine to 18.
Struggled up to 19 & 21, but neither Christian nor Colm got away as they missed 20 worse than I did.
Colm was ahead at 21, but I made another move, and was fluid 22-25, to break away.
Into the forest, got confused & mistaked by the tapes, on 26. Very slow and scrappy over the remainder, but gor it done at least.
Some more positives.
