Help! :eek:

Turns out I do not have a car that weekend. I can make it to Dublin on Friday, but will need a lift from Dublin to Donadea Saturday morning in time for the start, as well as back to Dublin afterwards.

There must be plenty of you doing the same journey that day. Any chance I could get a lift?

I'll talk to Aimman about our arrangements for lifts etc we'd be leaving from Clondlkin area I'd imagine. Maybe drop Krusty_Clown a PM, he's over that way.

I'll be coming from that direction all right, but I'm only 50/50 that I'll have access to a car. If I do, you're most certainly welcome to a lift Thomas. Otherwise, I'll be on my bike.

There is room in my car for a clown. So long as he puts his enormous shoes in the boot.

I'll hold you to that, if I can't summon-up a car! Can hop on the green LUAS to somewhere accessible if that helps?

I'll be coming from Glenageary; any chance there'd be room in the car for me also?
If you have a full car no worries, I'm sure I can get somoene else to take my kids to sports etc and I could take our family car

BTW, I don't have enormous shoes and I make yummy chocolate banana bread:)

At that rate, jeff will need a mini bus

jeffontour

Seems to me that I have been missing a trick by not flogging seats in the jeffmobile!

So the two lads, TF & the klown, have 1st dibs on seats.

I will likely have 1 more with me so it might be a tight squeeze in the back for 3. But if all are happy to rub knees on the way then there will be room for Marthastew as well.

Missed the banana bread comment, the other two need to up their offers.

I'll be heading from Rathfarnham (will be a likely one-way, as I'll be hanging out locally for the afternoon), if that suits anyone...

I better leave TF & The Klown plenty of room to rub knees in comfort in the jeffmoblie:)

I'm sure I'll more than likely be able to take our car, I should be able to get the kids sorted out no bother.
More banana bread for me......:D

So, I think it's getting towards time people fronted up and offer their target times, so I'll go first:
Name - Target - Comments
Belcarra - 4:45-5:00 - Second ultra 'attempt' so just want to complete this before Connemara.

Izoard - 4.30 - Objective is to register a sub 4 marathon (3.45/3.50), after too many years of pacing and IM marathons and finish in 4.30.
Will be hanging on the coat-tails of giants to get me around.

menoscemo- 4:10:00- just hoping to hold a steady 8 min/mile pace all the way round. If I can do that comfortably I know I am in shape for my target in Conn.

Marthastew- as this will be my first 50K I'm (hopefully) guaranteed a PB:)I'd be delighted with 4.30

Let me try. Especially since Marthastew just kicked me off the list (probably in an attempt to nab my place in jeff's taxi service)

Looks like ultraman1 has organised a lift for me, which frees up my seat in jeff's taxi service if needed.

Thanks all round for your help.
