    Not doing it this year as have Charleville Half next week as a target race. Well worth a trip down to the Garden County for anybody interested- great prep for Dublin as mentioned.

    Pacer details HERE

    Some stalwarts of boards running pacing this!

    Is it just me, or is it a bit weird calling a race after a currently active athlete in her early 30s?

    Suppose it is. Just putting her name to the race as it is for a noble cause. What was more weird was no one handing out water at the "water stations", just cases of water on the ground at random locations. Very strange....

    Racism is now hiding behind the cloak of Community activism.

    She is a patron of the wicklow hospice. Lending her support and name was a good way of raising profile.

    Yeah, no way was I even capable of bending down to grab a bottle without doing my back in or something. Luckily one nice steward had a few bottles in his hands on the 'way back'. Then I remembered the guy beforehand telling us not to litter, and I agonised for a few seconds, before deciding that there was no way I was holding onto a bottle for 7/8 miles, and tossed it. Sorry, Wicklow.

    Apology accepted :D.
