    Yeah, it looks like the temps will be warm till and including Saturday. I think we're going to be ok! Just.

    Here for the week with herself indoors. Ignore the Temps in, apps yr telling me it's 28 atm feels more like 14 as there a nice sea breeze around the city

    Good man. Good luck to everyone. This year has gone beyond my wildest dreams already. 3 consecutive marathon PB's and pbs at every other distance. I don't know what tomorrow holds but I'll enjoy it after a bit of a balls up here last year. Just need to leave the bar now...

    That was kinda tough. Never feeling great tbh. Had to tough it out. A PB though at the tender age of 54. I'm not slowing just yet.

    Jeez, that's a big PB, no? I do not understand why more Irish elites and sub elites don't target this race. I know there's Dublin and National title but you could do one one year and the other ...... the other. (I seem to be losing my English language skills after just one beer.)

    Depending on how much you dipped under the 3 hours, we must have been close enough.

    3:57 for me Happy with that. Took the foot off the gas for the last 10k and soaked it all in. A great marathon it must be said. Great support. A bit hot in places but a nice breeze aswell. Well done lads. Some serious running there

    3:34:29 for me had aimed for 3:30 but the hammers cramped early in the race. Great event but the pedestrians crossing at times was a mare. Had a few close calls. Even though the temp was high there was a nice breeze and some sections with good shade.


    Well guys on sub 3 today
