Well done all! Some great pacing there.

Toulouse is finished (few mins under 4:30) and MrsMc is there now just a tiny smidgen off the 4:30.

Whoops is past 20 miles and TFGR past 18miles, and TFGR has picked up the pace a little bit .

Congrats all of you (some in advance) and I'm going to have to do some work here!

Will check back again tonight **after I have done my strength training**

Head down past snooker table, a guess but worked last year.

3:39:52 absolutely delighted, couldn't have ran a second faster. Report later on,stretch after Walkinstown put paid to any 3:30 hopes, but ran smart and came in with my B goal.....well done to everyone who finished and will finish. Be safe out there.

4:19:56 cutting it close. Last 10 km were under the hour I think with an almighty sprint finish. Didn't realise I was that close! To say I'm delighted is an understatement!

Thanks, trickier when you don't know what people look like! If someone's here and wants to pm me their number, that or just keep an eye out for me.

Congrats to all the finishers and those still pushing on to finish! Great marathon!

Sorry McGrattens is a bit too full, going to head on as I have a bit of a drive. Really sorry I didn't get to meet DG and thank her personal. Also big thanks to ratracer who kept me company most of the way around. Well done everyone, that pint never tasted so sweet!

Gillo

Yeah heading off in about five minutes. Sorry I couldn't many people.
Massive congrats to everyone!

aquinn

Whoops approaching mile 25, TFGR nearly at 22m.

aquinn

Whoops finished.

Ruu

Well done whoops, eat/drink everything in sight now.

Toulouse

Ultraman, thank you so much!

Your little call heading up the hill at UCD really spurred me on.

Don't think you're in McGrattans so can't buy you a pint!

Forgot to add my time! 4:26:26

Ginger runner

3 hrs 44 mins 59 secs for me, sprint finish to dip under 3:45. Found it tough going, had to employ a walk/run strategy from 18 miles on but it served me well. On the train to Athy now for a festival of pints. Well done to all who finished. Crowd support absolutely immense as always. Enjoy your night in McGrattans, very well deserved

TheBazman

3:54...delighted. Didn't run a smart race so the last 10 -12k were tough going. Some feeling crossing the finish line!

Well done all

Ososlo

^^^^ Well done you guys! Some super times for debut performances being posted.
Celebrate in style!!!!!!!:cool:

6781

Well done everyone

runnerholic

3.53 for me. I am very happy with that considering my training was interrupted by injury. Felt good at 30k and pushed the pace up a little but started to really struggle at 38k and slowed up a bit more than I should have on the final run in. Great occasion, great support, a privilege to be a part of it. Thanks again DG.

JacEim

I AM A MARATHON RUNNER !

3:35:40

Well done to everyone, sorry I couldn't stay for McGrattans - Enjoy!!

Nice to see you DG (if only for a few seconds)
Race report later...

Phoebas

TFGR is home.

ZV Yoda

Finished with my mate in 4:42:46. Nearly 13 mins over my target, but stopped worrying about time from Terenure onwards. Absolutely delighted to have finished in good health. Foot was sore from about 10 miles in & that dictated my pace.

Crowd were amazing. So glad I put my name on my shirt. Felt like a movie star as people called out my name & shouted encouragement as I ran past.

Saw some people really struggle & getting medical atfemtion - hope they're all ok.

Looks like most of you hit or beat your - well done.
