Cruagh Middle.
Looking at splits biggest time losses were to 9 (trying to get second map into map bag), and 13 (gigantic banana the whole way to the control). 1min on both. Lost time elsewhere on 1, 2, 4, 5 and 12 totalling 1min. Mainly due to lack of plan and not reading the map enough. Felt quite weak the whole way as well. Good course, map a bit iffy sometimes, more on the training courses. Si boxes were proper crap. 2nd 2:47 off Colm. Two notable positives were downhill running and urgency.
O Training 57:15 [3] **** 7.5 km (7:38 / km) +250m 6:33 / km

3 x short legs courses focusing on control flow.
2 x norwegian courses focusing on planning.
Got a bit weary towards the end and focus was a bit down on the short legs courses.
