Really not hoping for much when doing the 50km, be lucky if I i even get the same time as last year I'd say....since the Limerick Marathon I've not done longer then a 20mile run. I also seriously trashed my legs on the weekend of the 26th May doing the Cabot Trail Relay, they are still recovering from that!

16 miles is as far as I've gone since Limerick ..... it'll be grandReally not hoping for much when doing the 50km, be lucky if I i even get the same time as last year I'd say....since the Limerick Marathon I've not done longer then a 20mile run.

From the website:Hey ya can someone confirm if there will be energy gels at fuel stations or should i buy a belt?
There are two official refreshment stations on the course at about 2.5k and 5km marks. One at Start and finish and one after the Marina. Please note the refreshment are only available when passing them on your right hand side to avoid crossing the course in front of other athletes.
The official Refreshment/Handling Zones shall be marked clearly by signs “beginning” and “end” and will be approximately 400 m long.
Official refreshment tables will be provided with Water/mineral waters without gas, electrolyte beverages, bananas and other fruits, Cola, glucose/sugar, salt, biscuits etc...
At the end of every refreshment zone sponges will be available.
Tables will also be provided for ultra participants only for personal food and beverages, not for marathon participants.
Competitors can use their own personal drinks and food at all official Refreshments Stations provided.- All personal food and beverages must be placed in bags clearly marked with the competitor’s name and race number, and handed to designated race official at the refreshment table at the start line before the race begins.
- In the official Refreshment/Handling Zones the handlers and coaches may put the refreshments into the hands of the athletes.
- During the handover of drinks and food the handlers may accompany the athletes within the Refreshment/Handling Zone, but other competitors in no case may be obstructed.
- Team management can support athletes for any shoe and dress change.
- Any medical support is permitted e.g. treatment of smaller injuries, blisters, by massages etc.
- Transmission of information of any kind is also permitted.

Feel like a complete lightweight,signing up for the little half
You're only a lighweight if you don't try... The "little" half is demanding emough, and if you put a lot into it, you'll take a lot out of it..
I'm sorry, the impression I got from your post was fairly negative.. I may be wrong...
See you at the start line friend

yes you are wrong, it was said in jest, believe me i know exactly how demanding a half is, got run down after pushing myself hard in limerick half.
i would love to have a go at one of the longer distances but i "fear" the unknown. admire those that throw themselves into it. & portumna is geared towards the longer distance. next year hopefully.
best of luck in the half0 -

Hey lads and ladies. I doing the marathon saturday and just wondering how GPS is affected in the forest. Anyone that has done this race in the last few years?
Ah, no need for gps, I know Galway can seem a bit wild, but you won't get lost in the woods.
The trees won't affect signal that much, you will still have a record of it. I did it last year and the watch was spot on.0 -
