Time Trial 2026

This years Time Trial was held at the very end of Feb, after a period of prolonged rain and generally cold/miserable weather, but the sun decided to come out and shine on the morning.  Course conditions were OK in many places, but quite slippery on the hills and near the river crossing. Despite this, some great times were ran, and pride of place goes to Emily Kerr (LVO) who ran a new course record of 6:49 on W14 (1 lap), beating a long standing record set by Niamh Corbett back in 2009.

After lunch, we relocated to Parkwest business park to brush up on our Sprint orienteering, with the Irish Championships and the JK just around the corner. We ran 4 short intervals (~1km each) to get some sprint practice down, well received by all.

Thanks to Ruth and all the parents for their help in organising and running the time trial, and to Josh for the use of his map for the training.
