WEEKEND RUNAROUND

Training

Just a reminder that there is no official training on Monday evening due to the Bank Holiday. The recommended session is the same as last week for anyone wishing to do it.

Training Wednesday at 7pm as usual.

New York Virtual Marathon

Well done to Rosarie Griffin who completed the New York Virtual Marathon on Monday. Rosarie who had previously travelled to NY to do the marathon in 2012 only to have it cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy was all set and trained hard to be ready to travel again this year only to have her hopes dashed once again due to the travel restrictions not being lifted until after race day. 

She decided to do the virtual instead and today completed the 26.2 miles in fine style. Big thanks to Helen, Sarah and Joan who ran some of it with her and to all who offered support especially Mags Jones, Loveness and Bernie. Well done Rosarie.

Munster Novice Cross Country

This took place in Two Mile Boris in Co Tipperary on Sunday. Eileen Leahy was our sole representative and she did really well. Having to start without even a warm up due to the early start of the race Eileen finished 20th out of a very competitive field and narrowly (only a few seconds) missed out on a bronze medal. Her finishing place should qualify her for the Cork Team for the All Irelands.

BHAA 5Km Littleisland

No lads the time is right its just ye have slowed down a bit.

The BHAA organised a 5Km Race in Littleisland on Sunday morning and after avery bad night the weather was fine for running. We had a fine crew out and it was really great to meet so many from other clubs that we had not seen for so long. Everyone ran well considering it was their first race in so long. Our first man home was Henry Milward who has been doing some other races and it showed today in the fine time he did. Our first lady was Siobhan Murphy who also had a fine run show her MMRA running is paying off. Well done to all who ran.

The race was very well organised and all the social distancing etc was well observed and we can well do without the tea after once we can race again.

 No lads the time didn't change. It's still the same.

Glen River Park Run

Tony Murray ran here again on Saturday and finished 5th overall and improved his time once again to 22.05. Well done Tony.

Tralee Half Marathon

Amanda Cooney was on the road again when she travelled to Tralee for the Half Marathon. Here she is pictured with our former member Esther Murphy who emigrated to Kerry.

and below is Margaret Twohig who also did the Tralee Half in the fine time of 1.59. Well done Mags.

VIRTUAL Dublin Marathon
