Stupid Dublin Transfer people! I didn't want to run their race anyway! Nope, no, that's a lie...
I'll make up for it by running the Long and the Medium in Hell Fire.

C • Dublin Board 2

And for all who were wondering, I decided clearly in my head that I wasn't doing the medium as well, even if I may have announced so due to the gammyness.

very shitty thing before, but a nice longish 16mins with Hugh afterwards.

Ran well in bits, but it wasn't that nice, gam in lots of places, similar to the thing i had planned here not that long ago :L
Started grand little off on 2, didn't trust the forest to be as runnable as it was so I went slightly high, but good conflicting route to Laurence. M\ybe lost 20secs or so. Grand through the slightly trickier ones (I mean slightly!), and was actually in the lead after 6, after winning that control, even though my legs didn't feel right on that track part, and I didn't do much in the way of pushing them. But 7.... *the disgust*. Shouldn't have gone straight and to be honest, would say I lost the guts of 2mins by doing so. It was sick hoe many thorns my quads were layered in after... Made a small mishap on 8, went through the forest (was now avoiding open at all costs!) but hit the slightly higher depression/re-entrant, again maybe 20secs or so. Track to 9, up the hill to 10, track to 11 and all the way along the track to 12, right to the corner (again with the avoidance of open)., but I think this control may have been slightly off? Anyways, 13 was a lot worse, and the control wasn't even amongst (I mean come on!?). Spent prob a little over 5mins searching before the eventual giving in. Grand through the rest, finished fast enough, but prob lost another 20/30 secs on 15 by hitting an unmarked lower open.
Felt a bit hard done by, but it obviously is a worthless event. I mean, take away legs 13 and 14 (because of people not finding 13) and I'd be 4th, in just behind Justin May and just ahead of Laurence. But hey, they reacted quicker.
