    2nd cup of coffee of the morning makes a useful handwarming device! Think the hat and gloves will be with me for a while today.

    Was down at the Walkinstown roundabout cheering on the groups this morning. Great to see alot of boards regulars going well. The pacers once again look to be great sucess with huge groups for the 3.15 and 3.30 and even decent group of sub 3 hopefuls.

    GRR :mad::mad::mad::mad: damn stream of the finish is acting up

    Robinph 2'58

    Figs was only 2 mins behind the sub 3 pacer at 18 miles. Ultraman was bang on for 4'20. Earlyeveningwas going well.
    DP was a little behind 3hr pacer and wasn't moving too well, although I was at the top of a hill and they were running up. Menoscemo was 2 mins off sub 3'30 pacer but was still moving well.
    Pacers were going well.

    Krusty is king. The guy dragged me to my fastest marathon by about 25 mins.
    Krusty for president !!

    Thanks to the other 3.15 pacers too.

    Me & the kids were out supporting Raycun. Saw him at Cromwellsfort Rd and later at Sandford Road & he looked in great shape, and was a good bit ahead of the 4hr pacer. Well proud of him!

    eta - our 7 yr old son had great fun giving out jellies :)

    Just back from cheering people on along the Merrion and Shelbourne Road. Saw all my friends which was good, though had to help one of them stretch out his cramp which seemed to have ruled him out of under 3.45. Saw plenty of boardsies as well. Lovely day for it too. Can still hear the cheering out my window along Grand Canal St.

    EDIT: Oh, heh, and I saw Krusty roaring encouragement to his pace group as well.

    Thanks. My friend is hoping for sub 3.45. When I type her surname, I see one record but the first name is wrong. Is that a typo or has his results not come in yet?

    It was a wonderful day. Great buzz.

    Yes it felt to get out & support everyone (not just the friends and oh's. The most I have done is 10km so I have a hell of a lot of respect for anyone that can tackle a marathon.

    I was waving my home-made signs "Run Boards.ie's Run" - though I didn't see any of the BAC singlets....
    and "You Can Do This" which seemed to go down well :)

    Some of the causes people were running for brought a lump to my throat I must say...so I hope those running for charity raised lots for their chosen cause.

    3 07 06 for me.

    6 seconds faster than last year!
    I felt I was going well, running w robinph to mile 14 where I got a stitch (out of nowhere) and had to walk for 3 or 4 mins. I was hoping for 3 04 or so and prob would have got it if it werent for the stitch.

    Cold start but otherwise nice day, plenty of support. I'm in way more pain than any other year....still I'll be back. I want that perfect marathon.

    Looking forward to hearing how you all did.
