    Sorry I didn't get to see you guys along the route, Would have been great to do a few miles with you around Longford, pity you got delayed. I couldn't get back out in the afternoon to try again. Hope the day went well and you get plenty of rest for tomorrow.

    Guys,

    Please support her as much as you can, it is very hot out there and it is extremly hard physically and mentally.

    Do your best even to follow her for 10min on the bike it's better than nothing :rolleyes:

    Hope everything is going well. I'd definitely head to the midlands today to join up for a few miles if I wasn't working. I know that's a pretty useless statement considering I'm stuck in work for the day, but I can only imagine how tough the run is in this weather. Best of luck with day three...

    Jo is coming up to Athlone currently, hoping to make Birr by this evening. Feet are very bad from blistering and general overheating issues, but she's still going.

    Keep at it girl, nearly halfway!

    Scorchio.

    HM has gone through athlone and is now on the way to birr. The heat was pretty oppresive earlier on today, but she was pacing herself through it ok. If you live within any reasonable distance of the route try and get out to support her - it's an epic challenge.

    The weather is due to get cooler for the next couple of days so hopefully it'll bring some relieve. It must be brutal running in that heat, 25c recorded in Carlow today.:eek:

    Caught up with HM and the team for a section today and all I can say is that she's made of hard stuff--what a total legend!

    The stone-splitting sunshine and heat seems to be the biggest hurdle at the moment, if there's any way you can to go monster spotting and give some support (even for 10 mins!) it's going to give HM a massive lift.

    Great to meet you all today! :)

    Hi All

    Just a quick note as I need to sleep soon.

    Huge thanks to all those who showed up so far. Loads of people going above and beyond for HM. Truly, I thank you.


    I could go into detail but the blog will do that. The heat was a killer again. So many blisters at this stage, I am working with a rusty knife. Easier and faster. :) (well I am the lazy one).

    We are far off the projected plan so please if your still around to help, please do. Different company makes it easier. We are sorted for a lot of tomorrow but if your there, sign the log to witness us passing.

    Todays bodies deserve special mention. The heat while walking was intense. Thanks to you all for travelling from Cork to Galway to Dublin to be with us.
