    Anyone looking for a Gaelforce 2010 training partner in castlebar/ westport area? I'm a 30yrs female with reasonable fitness. 10km run (53-54mins). Need to improve running and up the cycling mileage! If you're starting to train for GFW and wouldnt mind me tagging along drop me an email.:)

    There is a bunch of us (lads) who train but even our mothers dont want to be seen with us :)

    There is the Fit4Life classes there in Castlebar and I know that there are a few girls there who are aiming to do the GF this year.
    There is also a girl who works in Jonnys bar there near the Welcome Inn, she did GF last year and I have met here on the booster on a number of occasions so maybe drop in there and ask her.

    Good luck with it.

    Hello, I'm in Westport, Male, 40 (mid life crisis obv). I will do GF this year if it kills me and it very well might. Warning, I'm very very slow. 9 minute miles (6 or 7 of them at best) and 20kph on the bike. Might be interested in meeting up with either of you.

    Snailsong/Chem100479 : Loads of time till GF so PM me if any of you want to meet up , Doing Conn half next Sunday and Nenagh Tri following week , after that nothing planned til TriAthy in early June.
    Tend to be leisurely on bike and try to go for distance rather than speed, Run pace varies depending on reason for running , again aim more for distance than speed.
    I try and get loads of hills on both sets of training . Did GF last year in a very disappointing 6:10 ,(crampped like nothing I have ever done on the bike and took the "follow the leader" approach on the reek rather than follow the path) aiming for 5:30 at least this year.

    Hey,

    Just thought I'd pop in here and suggest a road race for you in Killarney on the 17th of July. Its the Maxi Marathon Killarney. Amazing route, 15 mile race. Make a weekend of it. Should be a good one.:D
