Been doing a bit, but only around 25 miles a week. Gonna do Conn Marathon, but for a laugh and to keep an eye on weight tbh and not for a time or anything like that. These hills will stand to me
The letter with race number suggests we car pool as space is at a premium up there [& 800 folks due to take part]. I was just going to bus or train to Rathdrum and taxi, but thought to ask here? I live in Clontarf, but can make it around the city if someone was driving and needed company [& coffee purchaser / petrol contributor
!]
Hi Vaggabond. Im driving from Ballybough on the morning, can take you there and back. Send me a PM.0 -

Brilliant day. Tough enough but my first time doing a mountain course.
Downhills were nearly worse than the uphills cos it's so hard to control it.
I'll never complain about congestion again after waiting to cross some of the stiles today
The scenery was absolutely breath taking. When you crest the wicklow gap and that huge downhill into glendalough is spread out before you - wow!!!
Spilts went from 15:02 to 7: 11 0 -

Have to agree it all of the above. Fantastic day and well run event for great cause
+1, I agree with almost all (but it certainly was much harder than I expected)... I thought the race was impeccably organized, I was just raging to see several participants disregard the request not to litter the course.

Yea, I think lack of training [& wrong training for that matter, I don't think flat miles on Clontarf seafront help all that much in a bog or up/down a mountain]! The excess weight & a tough course made that the hardest event I have ever done. I was physically in bits after 5 or 6 miles. I just pulled the pin at that point and walked most of the second hill, and all the last one. The other times I was trotting along.
That being all said, loved it. Totally different from boring old flat road races. Where do I sign up for next year Brilliantly organised, and a wonderful cause. The scenery was fantastic [when I was not in agony and could take it in!!!] 0 -

Why wait until next year? There are plenty of IMRA races you can run!0 -

Either give them an ear bashing, or note their number and report it at the end.0 -
