IOC2014 - what a contrast in terrain and conditions! The sprint competition was organised in the manicured grounds of Maynooth University. The Middle Distance and Classic events were held in complex peat terrain at an altitude of 700m in clouds and mist. Visibility was as low as 20m at times. The Relay race was organised in mature forest and ‘fast’ open mountain. The combination of conditions made the Classic distance race probably the most challenging Irish Championships race ever held.
It was a triumph just to complete the course – most competitors did not!
