    Any inkling of a decent 5k race in the next couple of months, looking to break that 20 myself but this was too soon for me.

    There is a 5km night run in November in the city center.( run in the dark) I will be aiming for that. Have set myself an unrealistic target of under 18:30.

    Its nearly 30 euro for that though and the congestion will probably hamper efforts of setting a PB. I always give these gimmicky races in the city centre a miss.

    Did I hear right when the announcer said that there was an 87 old year man finished this under 40 mins?

    Yeah his name is Brendan Earley - he runs with the Civil Service Harriers as far as I know. Pretty amazing time!! Saw him beating lots of people half his age!

    The announcer said (I think, for it was I!) that Brendan is nearly 87. I understand that he will be 87 next month. Chip time was 36.31. He had lots of people behind him.

    I mentioned to him once that I had seen an old Dublin Marathon results list from the 1980s that showed him breaking 3 hours (i.e. over 55 age group) and he said in a matter-of-fact way that he also broke 3 hours at 60.

    I asked him about the spelling of his surname and he said "Early - as in 'up early in the morning'". He told me he runs six days a week. Definitely a thoroughbred. Long may he continue running.
