Update

Looks like I am registered for the half in Bantry after all. I found an e-mail confirming my bib no. (444). It would appear that the dog may have eaten my race pack (or it got lost in the post) - so all I am waiting for is confirmation as to whether I can pick up a new race pack on Sunday morning or whether I'll have to travel to Bantry on Saturday night. As it's paid for and given that I was considering going down on Sunday and spectating from my bike I may just run the bloody thing (as opposed to race) - you know the sort of thing - warmup over 2 miles, stretch a little and wait for Thomas and help him to the finish - kidding. So ITB permitting my test run on Sunday may just be somewhere between Glengarriff and Bantry (length unknown) - maybe I could coast along at 01:30 pace.

  1. Sure, I run my guts out at 1:30 pace and you coast along by my side, just to rub it in ....

  2. Take care of yourself, and should you race, good luck! Get that body in for a massage once you're back home.

  3. Too late now, but it would have been good to arrive unannounced; hide somewhere; start at the back of the pack; catch Thomas at 5k (he usually starts too fast); then run at his shoulder chatting, before sprinting the last 100 metres for a well deserved victory. :)

  4. Too bad about the nagging injury. With the training you have done you probably would have kicked some major butt! Enjoy a leisurely run and get yourself back in top form soon.
