    Anyone doing this this year?

    Week 2 was last night in Tuam

    Found the start line to be a bit of a mess. Everyone was coming from the in front of the start line at the beginning, so people were jumping in towards the front, who had no need to be there.

    I was hoping for < 20, but must have spent the first km trying to jump around much slower runners.

    Try again next week so in Caltra.

    Haven't done that course since 2019 - I've completely forgotten what it's like top be honest

    Got myself a much better starting spot for Caltra, and was basically able to run in a straight line for the first 2km without needing to jump around anyone.

    Made all the difference as I took 36seconds off of my time from Tuam

    Loughrea this week. Very challenging course. Should be able to pb the course, but wont be an overall pb.
