You ran well again today jimbo,well done...you going to Kilmac next week ?

Great event in its 6th year ( i think ) ...... 414 runners....i would love to get half that at our Genzyme race this year....just shows how races can evolve over time and gain appreciation from runners.
Well done to the organisers and i must track down one or two of them and have a chat because thats a fantastic turnout on a miserable wet and windy day to add to it.

Are you training for the ultra in connemara ray...or do you do 30m runs on a saturday morning for fun ?

ray lanigan

yep sosa,doing connemara ultra and a 6 hour track race 3.5 weeks after that one,only problem i have only ran around they waterford track probaly 3 times[laps],so i need some pratice running around in loops,are you doing connemara yourself?

no,im to soft for the ultras...will be doing the viking marathon though

ray lanigan

sosa will be doing the waterford marathon myself,realy looking forward to it,to be honest i find the ultras easier than most of the marathons that i have done,you run them at a slower pace and its just about finishing,fast times dont realy come into it,and theres a different buzz when running them because there very freindly and weather your first or last you get treated the same,so c you at connemara next year haha

Potlaw was 4.92 on my garmin last year and i ran 27:47...so that was 28:13 at least if it went the full 5m calculated from my 5th mile pace.
Kilmac was also a bit short last year,which is surprising for a WWAC event,but its still fast..im just using the races at this stage to get back going...i am a long way off 28:13 at the minute...i would take sub 29 on Sunday and build from there....hopefully they will sort out the distance for Portlaw in May and i will hopefully be in PB shape by then.

jimbo21

it wont take you to long to get back to where you were a few nights on the track will sort that out

Any date for Portlaw?,the sun always shines at this one so i'll know when the heat comes it is nearby anyways

5.30 odd pace is some going sosa,fair play,you have some great speed there to do well in all races.
