Raheny 5 2011

Well done to all, some great running. So great it was hard to pick a best run from the group! But with two babies, a dangerous lack of sleep and a biased judge, Selena takes run of the day.

Niall ran ~5 minutes faster than he's been able to manage in trainng, while Sel hammered the 40 minute barrier with Steve, both of them making a mockery of the dreaded 40. Laura decided that my pacing was too slow after 200 meters and flew off finishing in a very quick mid 30s time while Alf was boringly efficient and fast despite a lack of training. I ran with Sel (Laura wouldn't keep us company), and kept a close eye on Steve, and had the best fun in a race I've ever had, so thanks to the pair of you. A great turn out from our spectators too, thanks to Dee, Anna, Caroline, Ben, nana and grandad Mc, Sophie, Liam, Meg... I'm sure I missed some peoples, but you're the reason we bother finishing!

  3. No, I'm here too. As i said before, I think i would have given up and waited for Niall had it not been for Sel and Macker. So thanks to you both for keeping me going. Highlight of my day. First and only time I will ever beat Macker (officially) in a race.

    wahoo.

  4. Well done everyone. Hadn't looked at this in a while. Need to start my redirects to Buzz again. That's a new PB Steve? Fair play.

  5. I don't know how I got in ahead of Sel... some time warping there (Or start line cheating I usually reserve only for Alf).
