    Yeah did the first race this morning, flat course but conditions were really tough, the wind coming down chesterfield avenue on both occasions was horrendous. Did the jingle bells 5k a few weeks ago on a horrible day and didn't find it as tough as today.
    Great to see so many blue lord mayor t shirts.

    Signed up for this, first run completed this morning, enjoyable morning in the park. Little bit of wind/rain but not too bad.

    With the exception of Furze road, it felt like I was running into a headwind for most of that. I don't think it was a day for fast times.

    Nice to blow away a few cobwebs from the Christmas period

    I had swam/ran/flew the Donore Harriers 'Jingle Bells' 5k a few weeks ago, so was quietly confident of an improvement in this event, notwithstanding a mild hangover.

    How wrong I was! Even though it was a flat course, we always seemed to be running into the wind! Still though I was heartened to see the huge turnout: Not sure if Tom Brennan was an Avondale AC or an Inchicore AC man, but gather that he trained several to the highest standards, and Liffey Valley must be happy with the event taking in such a large Lord Mayor Challenge contingent.

    Congrats to Liffey Valley AC on a great event. I'm not doing the 5-alive or Lord Mayor 5 Challenge but I was encouraged to see so many blue t-shirts out on the day that was in it.

    Bagged a faster time today than the jingle bells but was hoping for quicker, wasn't the conditions for a fast time though, if anyone got a PB today they did very well.
