WillBill Well, that was hard.... Started off slowly and when I tried to kick on once over the first climb, there was nothing there. Tried to enjoy the run along the switchback ridge to Carn prior to the turn round for the return to the rocky peak of Doan. Picked a good line and clawed back a few places (hurrah!) but then tried to force the pace on the rough descent, which wasn't a good idea. Suffered on the long haul up Slievelamagan (nasty but brief snow shower en route) and on over Cove. Oddly, I started to feel rather better on the steep climb to Commedagh and so enjoyed the run off down the nice ridge despite totally failing to catch up with the group ahead. Picked what turned out to be good line of Luke's Mountain to the finish, an awkward end to an interesting route. That's the last time I do an AL race six days before a championships race.
