this talk is slightly scaring me, am building up for approx 110km later in the summer, depending on how i get on a few other events first and my bodies reaction (have done a few times ranging from 4hrs 15 to 5hrs 15), still the biggest distance i have done, but as for running, can only manage for a few minutes before having to slow down

for now, thats my marathon

is that the sligo-letterkenny charity cycle at the start of july, if it is what did you do it in last year?

my wall was drumkeen for me 2 years ago, my best time is still on a £70 2nd hand dawes about 7 to 8 years ago, 4hrs 15, including stopping to fix a punture

last two times was either torrential rain or cruel heat, neither good for that distance
