    Race coming up quick, how is everyone doing. The weather looks good for Saturday, sunny mid teens and light breeze. Looking forward to it even though my training has not gone to plan. Planning to take it easy and complete it without killing myself and work from it towards Dublin. Great race and atmosphere and looking forward to the fish and chips from the van in Dingle at the end. Good luck to everyone competing.

    Great race. Spectacular views and great weather. The stewards were great, supportive and friendly. My only real issue was with the pacers, I tucked in behind the 4.15 pacers and despite averaging about 5.50 per km over the first 5k they were pulling away from me. Not sure if they were banking time or what but it certainly didn't help my race!

    I'd definitely go back again next year. If the weather is good it's surely one of the most scenic marathons in the world.

    The one time I paced Dingle we did bank 2 minutes deliberately because there is a rather big climb at mile 21. On the climb itself we took it REALLY easy and still dropped every single one of the runners in our group. :(

    Usually I would very much expect pacers to run even pace as much as possible. Dingle is the exception to that.
