A clean sweep for Ajax at this year's IMRA Navigation Challenge, a three-leg navigation race organised by Joe Lalor in Wicklow. It was a greuling series that really tested long-distance stamina and route choice. Each race had about 5 controls with grid references being handed out at the start time, mountain marathon style. Usually there was a long road and a shorter cross-country choice to be made.
Aonghus O'Cleirigh came first in a total time of 6'47", followed by Marcus Geoghegan in 8'10", with Andrew McCarthy in 8'21" making it a clean sweep for the Ajax men. We had no women competitors.
