    Do you want me to split this into a Donadea 2013 thread or keep it all in the old thread?

    I know it's tough for you, at your age you feel yourself getting older by the day, but, surely 29:29 would be a soft target for you for 5 miles?

    That's about 15 seconds per mile faster than I ran in the Firhouse 10k so, no, not really :)
    But I don't really have a target yet, I'll see where I am in January...

    He took several mins out of the 4th placed guy over the last couple of laps and was unlucky to still be a few seconds down when he ran out of road!
    Great running Ultrapercy!

    Thanks UM1, Strange race, conditions at the start were good but got progressively warmer and windier as the race progressed. The underfoot was hard with a 500m section of brick paving, that caused problems, I saw a few lads pull up injured on this section on the later laps.It will eventualy cost me a few toenails. For me the last 3 laps were a death march and I had no ambition other than to stop running. It realy surprised me that I was able to hold 5th position,which I held at 20 miles but lost several times before 29 miles, drifting 100m behind 7th at one stage.If I had any awareness or desire left at all I could have been 4th as he was in a worse state than me and wobbled over the line just 7 seconds in front of me having lead me by 10 to 12 mins at one stage.I suppose it shows what a tough day it was. It was awesome to watch Steve Way gradualy reel in the win, hes a class act and a nice lad.As for me Im entered for Dublin and will strap up my departing toenails and have a go and then look forward to Donadea 2013, my favourite race of 2012 and maybe of any year.

    Ahh man, you really did us proud. Once again, superb effort and an outstanding result.

    It shows as well the high standard of the race at Donadea last year, given you had to work for the win there!

    Sounds like a right oul battle, ultrapercy, great that you kept in there and were progressing forward in the pack at the end.

    I should be on the Dublin route Monday, I will pack a scissors in case the toe nails need attention when you pass!
