Athletics 2021

I just assumed she was wearing 'fast shoes' too. Fair play to her. For those more in the know, how much of a difference would the 'fast shoes' make in terms of time improvement?

Also, if she wasn't wearing 'fast shoes', how much harder will it be for her to recover for Sundays XC? Impossible question to answer but it will be even more impressive if she toes the line on Sunday and is competitive.

No doubt @Swashbuckler can confirm that!

Haha ye have too much faith in me...looks the the metaspeed sky yeah. Its an interesting one though. Eilish McColgan is sponsored by Asics so she wears nothing but Asics for all her road and track races and training. You'd wonder what she'd manage if she was able to throw on the supershoes . Little plug for Eilish actually. She's well worth following on Facebook or Instagram. Posts a lot of clips of her training and general daily life. And interacts with fans with questions too.

Loadsa parking in rosemount biz park, 15 min walk.

seriously though, parking in dunboyne is a joke, there will be people having to travel further to get to dunboyne. there must be abput 50,000 parking spaces free around rosemount and ballycoolin on sunday

So other than the GOAT who's your main draw tomorrow?

Me I'm looking forward to watching Nick Griggs in the U20.

shush, thats where i'll be going, but it will be scarce

Whoa, hold on there a minute. What's this about parking in Dunboyne. Isn't the m3 Parkway the designated park spot? Is that in Dunboyne?.

Surely there is closer parking than that? Bearing in mind I'll be travelling for 2 hrs from the other direction

It's on RTE2

The under 23 mens race was brilliant, delighted to see us place 2nd. A great fight to the end for McElhinney & a gold for the team...brilliant

Healy placed 5th, she just couldn't keep up with top 4 as they broke away.

Such a cracking race. Darragh is a warrior, looked so cool.

The noise and buzz here during it was incredible.

Yep, managed to park myself at a great spot about 40m from the tape. I'm 6 feet away from the relay handover, so can't wait to see this.

Brilliant I'd say its great there! The relay looks great, all down to the last leg now!

Great effort by Fionnuala McCormack again, the marathon last weekend surely affected her form today. I guess the marathon is her main focus now?

What a phenomenon day out, I'm still buzzing after it. Weather holding up certainly helped.

Some savage performance out there today. Performance of the day for me was Denmark Axel Christensen blowing away the field in the u/20 race.

Darragh Mac had a blinder and delighted to see the team taking the top spot.

Probably should have had another medal in the mixed relay. Savage run from Alex Bell to bring GB back into it.

Unfortunately our senior ladies apart for Fionnula were a bit off, but credit to Eilish Flanagan top 15 is very respectable. Michelle Finn didn't seem to have a good day out. Our ladies u/23 team struggling as well apart from Sarah Healy, her lack of miles in the legs told in the last lap.

Great running from Fay and Haso, pity Tobin wasn't recovered in time, on previous races he'd be close to the 2 lads. But sure that's running for you.

All in all a great day out.. Some entertainment for €9.00
