Big thanks to Richard Power for the pictures in the rain below.
Greenway Half Marathon Co Waterford
Midleton AC 3rd Ladies Team and Helen Gilroy 2nd O/50.
The Greenway half marathon is only 2 years running but is a
sell out due to excellence in standards by West Waterford AC. What can only be
described as inclement conditions at 6am turned out to be near perfect running
conditions come the 9am start time when just short of 800 runners commenced.
Midleton had a fine number of athletes running considering
the popular 10 mile John Buckley which was on later that evening.
This beautiful course is a pleasure to run, starting from
Kilmacthomas with a few undulating drags but mainly flat from 6 miles onwards to
destination Dungarvan. Midway was reminiscent of Bridges of Madison County
followed later by the 400-meter tunnel, which brought coolness in what turned
out to be quite warm running conditions. The coastal view announced itself at
mile ten. This was a welcome 3-mile distraction to the finish line. While some athletes
decided to race, others took it as a training run.
First man home was Mick Murphy in a time of 1’31 and looks
like he is well on track for Dublin. A great performance, given the miles in
his legs clocked up this week. Esther Murphy made a wonderful surprise
appearance and cheered everyone up finishing in 1’34, 3rd in her category; one
must wonder what’s in that Kerry air. Helen Gilroy came in 1’36 and was 2nd
in her category. Again considering Helen has miles in the legs in prep for
Dublin, that’s some going. Declan O’Callaghan posted a 1’36 only seconds after
Helen and was thrilled given this was his second half marathon in the week,
Dingle being last Saturday. Great training runs for Dublin. Michael Abernethy came
soon after in 1’38, his first half marathon.
Dan Twohig, cruised home in fourth gear in 1’40! Undecided
at the start on how fast he would or wouldn’t run until he got to mile 5, Dan
was obviously feeling good as he smashed his previous record (a long run in
training 2 weeks previous!). Marathon training is suiting him. Mags Jones clocked
1’42; this lady consistently churns out great runs. Sunday morning following
this race will be a hike up Carrantuohill and Kilimanjaro in two weeks after
for Mags!
Well done Kevin Moran, who turned out an excellent time of
1’43, Kevin keeps the Pbs for his races, with several in the bank this year.
The lady who never disappoints arrived next Ms Yvonne Fitzgerald
in a time of 1’43. Last weekend she spent Saturday and Sunday managing Relay
for life, and this weekend she is pulling out these times.
Martha Mc Namara finished 1st in her category in Clonmel two
weeks previous and 4th today she had a very strong finish in the
final mile. Martha is running on fire at the moment; chopping minutes off her
previous records, keep it going Martha. Claire Fitzgerald and Gerry Fitzgerald
ran together and finished jointly in 1’51, with Gerry securing a Pb by about 4 minutes.
Michael Mac Namara was determined to get a sub 2 hr., which
he calmly did, in 1’59-48, and it didn’t knock a breeze out of him. Bernie’s
knee went and as always with Bernie, completes the race albeit at a gentler
pace with a big smile.
Well done to our ladies who secured a third place team prize
but a few incorrect chips may even secure a higher placed prize.
Claire Fitzgerald
