Anyone else signed up for this? Choice of Ultra, Marathon or HM on both days and a 10k on day two. Pick and choose your own race. I'm doing the HM both days.

Fantastic routes and the weather was just glorious last year. A nice change from your normal road races, small numbers and a friendly bunch plus the river to cool off in at the finish. Bliss.

Yeah, I might be free for this race. I'm thinking the Ultra both days could be a nice challenge. Or, maybe the 2xMarathon...we'll see. I must be mad.

It looks like a nice race with a good camaraderie about it. Day one looks fairly easy, but day two looks really hard!

See this thread http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=89668917

Did 2*42k last year, was thinking about joining the big boys this year and do ultra..
But lack of time has restricted LSRs and there is only 5/6 weeks to go.
If i can do a back-to-back 30kms over a week-end in the next few weeks, then i'll be in..

I am doing it as a training exercise for CCC. Using the same kit, even though I think it will be a bit over-kill for this race, and trying to get used to carrying a fairly heavy pack for a very long time.
