This log sounds like it should be in the tri-forum.

(Oh, nice photo coming out of the water that Kurt snapped of you in December. Based on the composition of the content, I'm guessing it was pretty cold out there that day. )

Nah....just rechecked photo....any one with that "out there" attitiude can certainly hold their own w/the tri guys. Your card will be waiting for you at the front desk when you are ready to take the walk to the dark side.

Gosh I had a big intake of breath when I saw that on your list. (72, gasp:eek:)
There is an ultra on in Donegal that weekend , similar to Connemara if you are interested.
Good luck with the Wicklow way, I need to get started on trails myself too, so any advice would be most welcome:)

^^^^ Ah ha! I see those two swim events and the one tri event sprinkled amongst the running races. You're not fooling anyone Mr. Ultraman. With this running forum/tri forum menage a trois gig you got going on here it appears you're already living in the dark side.
