Won in a time of 1:02:21.

Not bad at all considering the injury. Seems to be a few Kneyans in there as well. and Peter Gilmore is quite a handy runner too.

Maybe he could be in decent shape for Euro Cross?

Hope so anyway because if he is he could be very competitive.

p.s. Missed the course record by one second...apparently its quite a difficult course too. Impressive.

Delighted for him. Being a second off the course record, he must be running pretty well at the moment. Good timing for NYC marathon, if he is indeed doing it (1st November).

As far as I know he wont be doing NY. Focused on Euros from what I hear.

A radio interview aired this evening from Fagan would seem to indicate that he is really keen to produce the goods in Santry. Hope he is home for the Nationals too.

So have we any hard evidence to suggest he is not doing the NY marathon?
I hope he concentrates on Euro cross now and gives it a good lash, he's in decent shape now and will only get stronger.

In the interview mentioned above he said that he wasn't doing NY. Hopefully everyone will stop guessing what he's doing now and suggesting he shouldn't be racing race x, y and z.

Yep good point. I think its good the people talk about him doign x,y,z race jsut goes to show how highly he is rated here. With out knowing him , you have to believe he knows what he's doing . I'd support him in any race he runs.
