    John is definitely well keyed up for this one, and is running better than I've ever seen him. Best of luck to everyone on the team.

    And they're off!

    Conditions are overcast with temps in high teens to low 20s with potential for rain later. Hopefully this will suit the Irish lads and lassies.

    Ruthanne 210km ( 6th)
    john 208.5 (32nd)
    Eddie 200.8 (50th)
    Deirdre 103 (84th)

    after 22 hours.
    How awesome is that !!!

    Actually Ruthanne is 4th in European Comp. This is the combined European and World championship so if you take out the 2 american girls , she is within shout of a European medal.

    Eddie 210km (46th)
    Deirdre 103 km ( 84th)

    We should bombard the media today because once ALL Ireland is over , they wont get a sound byte of coverage
