Carrigaline 5 Mile

The Carrigaline 5 Mile took place on Sunday morning in really tough conditions. We had a fine crowd there and its great to see so many from the club supporting another club race.

 Henry Milward reports "Very fast start downhill and when we had some of the wind in our favour, up to míle 2 there were only short climbs but then by mile 3 the wind hit and so did the climbs, which slowed things down considerably. Good challenging course altogether as I'm sure you know, with the added complication of the wind. But good fun all the same and it was still fairly mild at that time."

We had some great results from our members. John Cashman 1st O/55 Ian Kohler 1st O/75. Donie O'Connell 2nd O/70, Loveness Hegarty 2nd O/35 we came 6th Team with Henry Milward, Christopher McCarthy and John Cashman.

Christopher McCarthy had a great run once again with 33.13 showing the Monday Night Sessions are paying dividends and special mention must go to Niamh Murphy who just progressed from our last C2 5K Group to run her first 5 Mile in fine style in such tough conditions. Well done Niamh. 

Big thanks to Eagle AC for another great event and thanks to Kathleen O'Connell and Loveness Hegarty for the photo's and Henry Milward for the report .

The  club is  always interested in what our members get up to so please keep sending in stuff and reports of races etc. are especially welcome from our members. So get writing and posting.

Also I have no control as to what photo's etc. appear in the press as they are normally and thankfully taken from the blog.

WEEKEND RUNAROUND

Little Island 6 km BHAA 

Sunday morning saw some great running in Little Island for the BHAA 6Km. Our first man home was Christopher McCarthy who continues to improve with every race. Chris came 3rd O/40 his first ever individual prize in many years of running and not only that he led the Midleton Town Council team of Himself, Edmond O'Sullivan and Mark Walsh to 2nd Team Grade A.

Edmond O'Sullivan won 1st O/60 then he went on to run a brilliant race in the Cross Country in Castlelyons and Mark Walsh 2nd O/60 whilst Fergal O'Meara 2nd O/50.

Vickie Spiteri had a fantastic run to finish 4th Lady overall and would easily have picked up a category prize also if she had been registered in time with BHAA. Great to see her back and running so strong. 

Well done also to Linda Curtin who was on the Avondhu MF Ladies team who came 2nd Grade B.

Remember to register with BHAA NOW Talk to Edmond on Monday evening and don't miss out.

All our other runners there ran very well also.
