Orienteering race 44:49 [4] **** 8.58 km (5:13 / km)
ahr:170 max:178 27c

Rossbeigh
Munster League

KerryO still having trouble with Inch after IOC2012 so back to Rossbeigh for another run. Most of the map appeared to be there after the damage done by the storms earlier this year.

Didn't really have a plan pace wise, but knew I wanted to run cleaner than I did last October.

1. (2:56, -0:40) (2:56, -0:40) Easy start.

2. (0:46, -0:16) (3:42, -1:07) An even easier control for number 2.

3. (0:55, -0:16) (4:37, -1:26) Stayed high on a path along the edge of the dunes, probably faster to drop to the beach.

4. (1:43, +0:07) (6:20, -1:33) Knew i'd lost time on this one. Direction not great but would have to use a compass to have something to blame. Went a bit right for it. And would have needed a longer leg to have been fastest.

5. (2:45, -0:21) (9:05, -1:58) Back via 1 and then around and back in, not the best in the circle.

6. (1:41, -0:18) (10:46, -2:16) Rough.

7. (2:35, -0:27) (13:21, -2:43) Out to the beach when I could then back in.

8. (1:31, -0:31) (14:52, -3:14) Was aiming a bit to the right but corrected myself.

9. (2:03, -0:32) (16:55, -3:47) Used the hill before it as an attackpoint.

10. (1:37, +0:02) (18:32, -3:53) Not sure why I wasn't fastest! Think i veered a bit right, wasn't confident in where i thought the control would be.

11. (1:17, -0:14) (19:49, -4:07) Around the dunes then back in.

12. (1:13, -0:22) (21:02, -4:44) Saw this control from 11 but still had to get there. Rough.

13. (2:05, -0:53) (23:07, -5:43) Could see Johnathan around the top of the hill so had something to aim for. Had seen him around 1 when I was getting it, he was going to 5, so was getting close to catching him.

14. (1:07, -0:10) (24:14, -5:53) Could see this from 13.

15. (1:05, -0:37) (25:19, -6:38) Johnathan again visible on top of the hill, but hill was very high.

16. (1:08, -0:29) (26:27, -7:07) Passed Johnathan on the way, just as we hit the control.

17. (2:25, -0:51) (28:52, -7:58) Stayed in the grass, then out to the beach before cutting back in. Was sure of where I was but a bit hesitant in continuing a bit further, control was where I expected it to be.

18. (2:11, -0:41) (31:03, -9:17) Aimed for the high ridge, got over it, then could see the control. Still had grass to run over to get there.

19. (1:36, -0:19) (32:39, -9:51) Tough running.

20. (2:49, -1:35) (35:28, -11:43) Even tougher running, hardest running of the course, but know this area is bad. In hindsight out to the beach might have been more sensible, then come in by 5 and then 1.

21. (1:56, -0:34) (37:24, -12:50) Passed this control going to 1.

22. (1:21, -0:27) (38:45, -13:17) Nice hidden, small re-entrant, nearly ran past.

23. (1:12, -0:18) (39:57, -13:39) Didn't really know what I was looking for but knew it was close to the cars.

24. (0:55, -0:20) (40:52, -14:21) Just run.

25. (0:56, -0:25) (41:48, -14:51) More running.

26. (1:01, -0:18) (42:49, -15:15) And even more running.

27. (1:37, -0:22) (44:26, -15:37) Run, run, run.

28. (0:23, -0:03) (44:49, -15:41) Around my car to punch the finish.

Happy enough with the run, nice pace for the entirety and felt strong on the grass. Got preparation physically for next weekend, I hope!

1512 points to count towards the league for the win today.
