    DNF :( for me felt grand to 10 and started getting bad stomach cramps, tried to run it off still went through halfway in 1:29:30ish tried another gel but only felt worse. Bailed at 16.73 in 1:54 - 6:50 pace and high tailed to the nearest toilet. Back at the hotle feeling sorry for myself but will get over it.

    Sorry to hear Dom. I am sure you will regroup from this blip and come back stronger

    Awful news Dom, but if you bailed out early, there's still the chance you could use the training to run again soon, if the interest is there. Could be alot of us down in Cork this year.

    Brilliant stuff. I'll be honest heard she was going well but didn't expect that. Interesting what will have regards selection for London now.

    Think so but don't think selection will come down to times alone. Different marathon courses will have a major impact on times etc. That's great news for her anyway. Hope she celebrates today and worries about selection criteria tomorrow. Fair fecks to Thornton and Connolly as well, they seemed to have given it a right lash. Regardless Irish marathon running is in a much better position than it has been in the last 10-15 years.

    Sorry Dom. Similar story 2 years ago myself. You were sensible with bailing. At the time I carried on and it was a bad decision to do that on the day. You'd have felt a hell of a lot worse if you'd carried on.

    Congratulations to Catriona Jennings on getting the qualifying time,a fantastic performance. I wonder when will the selectors make their final decision?

    Unlucky for Connolly and Thornton so close to the QT, the standards in Irish marathon running have improved dramatically. What time did Sergei do? Maybe if he got under 2:18, Moldova might send him on the B standard?

    Sergiu did 2:15:25 or thereabouts.

    Ouch. Great running, but you'd have to wonder about the last 10k story there. Don't know Amadeus' background or pb. Is this congrats or commiserations?

    How come the results are so slow coming up and there was no athlete tracking. Thought that was standard for major marathons. Are Rotterdam penny-pinching or what?

    I don't have the official results but I think I was in and around 3.12. I never stopped the garmin... If that is so I knocked almost 17 mins off my PB at Dublin. Delighted and well done to all you guys and gals.... :-)

    I think you can safely assume that no-one targets 3.01 or 3.02 for a marathon so I fear it will be commiserations.

    Of course not but the bloke's previous pb could be 3.08 or something. 50 seconds is a killer though and that's a long enough straight there to see the 2.59 on the clock knowing you're not going to do it.

    He has already broken 3 hours last year. (2:56 I think?).

    Happy with that run. Leg strength and aerobic capacity all more than adequate: sharpness not quite there. If I was to do the taper again I'd swap it with Krustys or abhainns.

    That said ran very well.. Missed the 2.35 peleton by starting too far back and therefore too steadily. Peleton is apt as the wind was severe. Spent all race trying to regain the 30s to that big group. Had to take on the wind as the group I was in was heading for 2.40. Caught the group just when it disappeared at 35k. I thought I was heading for 2.35:30 ish so was acting the maggot with the crowd at the end. Too late I realised my mistake....ah I had to get value out of my entry fee though. Hard luck beep. Take that fitness down to cork.

    Now for steak and chips no2. Btw. Rotterdam is a class city. Lengthy report to follow.
