    I would say it is very warm out there now.

    Delighted for Paula, go girl!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,016 ✭✭✭Itziger


    That's great running, Jesus. Yeah, getting warm now I'd say. 20 where I am in Lux, just back from 33 k run.

    Looking forward to some reports here. Good luck for last few kms to all.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,016 ✭✭✭Itziger


    Any updates lads?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,608 ✭✭✭donothoponpop


    MCOS home in 3:19, looks like a tough last 10k, we've all been there mate, well done for sticking it out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,496 ✭✭✭Oisin11178


    Meno 3.26
    Brian 3.09


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,454 ✭✭✭hf4z6sqo7vjngi


    Meno 3:26 and Briandrunner 3:09...that's his London entry sorted. Looks like the heat played a part towards the end.

    still 2 pb's for the lads, not what they wanted but a pb is a pb


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,704 ✭✭✭✭RayCun


    Is that everyone in? No-one mind if I move this to the main Events thread?

    Savage running by TheRoadRunner there. Brian got his B goal of London qualification at least, but it looks like a tough day for meno :(

    3:27:58 for me - delighted - big negative split - heat was savage. Anybody else feel like they were in Denmark for the 1st half??

    tough day at the office. Pace was never easy, was close to target up to 15 but eh wheels came off and in the end, finishing was one of the hardest things I have had to do. 3'26'18 I think, only 15 seconds faster than my 'training run' in Longford :o.

    3:09:02 for me, a 3 minute pb. Heat was fairly extreme. Hit halfway on schedule (1'29) but i knew i couldnt sustain it so happy in the end to get under 3'10.

    Managed it in 3:22:59. Absolutely thrilled. Last 10k very tough, slowed quite a bit, heat was a killer. Anyone hear what the temp was. Big PB though, 28mins+ quicker than DCM last year. Full report later in the week. Big session tonight me thinks!!!

    Well done Neil - I took 20 mins off my Dublin time and 14 off Cork - thought I was a hero until your check in!

    Next year for a Boston qualifier....but now I'm gonna get stuck into a few pints!
