Corkbeg 4Mile (Whitegate)

                                                                 For those of you that have been enquiring yes the Corkbeg 4 Mile is on next Thur. Night at 8pm followed by the usual barbecue.
BALLINASCARTHY 10 Km

                                                                   Club member Margaret Twohig asked me to mention that two friends of hers are involved in organising the above race in conjunction with their festival and in aid of COPE Foundation. She would love some support fro her fellow Midleton AC members. The race is on next Friday 4th July @ 8pm.
2nd Midleton AC Summer Mile
Date: Thursday 10th July
Time: 8pm
Course: 1 mile; Start at the 2 mile mark, finish at the 1 mile mark of the Midleton 5 mile course.
 
The format is pretty simple, same as last month. We can meet at 7.30pm at the 1 mile mark, plenty of space to leave your car, bike, water bottles etc. do a good warm-up run to the 2 mile mark or further and do some stretching. We will run on the left half of the road with one car behind and one car/bike in front. This actually worked pretty well the last time and there was no hassle with traffic.
This will be an unofficial, self-timing race, we can call it a training run for club members members to keep numbers under control; last month’s race had 7 runners. We also invite our local friends from East Cork AC to keep the competition alive …

WEEKEND RUNAROUND

Margaret and Don with his kids minus Rose with one of the best support signs in a while.

Great running again this morning from two of the club's members who ran the Waterford Half Marathon. Don Ryan finished in a great time of 1.30.58 (90.58) and Margaret Jones in 1.40.30 (101.30) .

Shanagarry 5

"It was a night but what a night"

                                                          It was an absolutely great night for Midleton AC Thur. night in Shanagarry where history was made. There was great running by all our members with some fantastic times being achieved and lots of PBs
                                                           Karen Grant continued on her winning ways and was the first lady home overall whilst Helen Gilroy proved once again what a superb athlete she has become and gained her highest ever placing in the series coming home 3rd overall. Margaret Jones also had a super run finishing 8th overall and 1st O/45 and bringing the Ladies Team the 1st Team prize. This is the making of history with such high placing's and results. Anna Doris completed the ladies fine achievements by coming 2nd O/40 with another fine run. To top things off Eileen Leahy came home 1st Jnr with a great run. I don't think our Ladies ever achieved such fantastic results before.
Whilst many of our men had fine runs and PBs the only prize winner was Neilus Ahern again coming 1st O/55.

Amongst those who got PBs were Margaret Jones (yes I know again) and Vicki Cleary who had a fantastic run and got home breaking the 37 min barrier in a time of 36.43. Great running Vicki . Derek Ahern knocking 15 secs. off his Ballyandreen time whilst running this course for the first time. Louise Barry, Aoife Jones and Rayleen Dolphin also had brilliant runs.
Another lady who had a fantastic run was Gillian Bransfield who manage to knock a minute off her previous PB and break the 39 min barrier and come home in a time of 38.41 which on this course is great going. Just again goes to show that the hard work of Mon Nights pays off.

                                                         Well done to everyone and anyone with individual PBs etc please let me know and I will post it. Whilst the above might seem we are only interested in the prize winners we are just as interested in your individual achievements so please let me know as I cannot possibly know everyone's in the club's PBs etc So lets hear from you. PLEASE email mdtacinfo@gmail.com

Also a big thank you to ALL our club members who came out and supported the runners.

 
 Two out of three ain't bad. First Lady Karen Grant with 3rd Lady Helen Gilroy
 1St Lady Karen Grant and leading Lady in the series,
 Helen Gilroy 3rd Lady.
Margaret Jones 1st Lady O/45
 
Eileen Leahy who came 1St Jnr.
