WEEKEND RUNAROUND




County Novice Cross Country






We had five runners there today With a strong Ladies team minus their stalwart Sinead Falvey who had to miss it unfortunately for personal reasons. It just shows how important is is to have that extra person when a team is involved. We had Eileen Leahy, Meadhbh Campbell, Rosie Young and Dee Duran making her Irish debut in cross country. All put in excellent performances. Our sole male runner was Edmond O'Sullivan running his second race of the day and making a fine job of it too. Well done all who kept the MAC flag flying.

Action packed weekend.  Saturday Quest Killarney 14k hill trial run, 46k bike and 1k kayak. Sunday 10k Waterford Solas run with a PB.

Defense Forces BHAA 5Km

Sunday morning saw the Defense Forces annual 5Km take place in Tramore Valley Park over the usual Park Run Course. We had four runners there and all ran well. Edmond O'Sullivan was our man in the prizes with 3rd O/60 before heading off to run in the County Novice Cross Country Championships in Macroom.

New Book by Midleton AC member

Christopher McCarthy 









"Capacocha" is a new short story collection available for €10 in Midleton Books, online at Print My Book and I'll have copies available at Training on Monday 14th October.


The rugged majesty of an islands cliffs.  The exhilaration of driving through a desert at night.  Transcending to an enlightened plain of consciousness.  An unexpected duet in a dimly lit city bar.  Love lost.  Redemption.

Reflections on the passage of time and the beauty present in every moment.

Kind Regards,

Chris
