    15 miles in 7.24 average but first mile of 7.27 was about 1.1 miles at least, was something wrong with garmin at the start and it didnt register distance for about a min. Went way way beyond even the futhest marker for 1 mile on my usual route.
    So id say take 2,3 seconds off the average.

    Recovery run, wanted to ditch after 1 mile. I felt desperate. Yesterdays run in horrible weather and no grub before and no gels and water during run. Drained me bigtime.

    Yeah that run on tuesday was mostly into a horrible wind as well. Was more like 7 min mile effort most of the time. Just a few small runs left now. Might do a fast 5k in the morning on the donadea course if anto lets me and there is time:D

    If you're running without a number, there's a steward that will drag you off the course, watch out! :)

    The words warmdown and 6.51 shouldn't be used together after a 50k race. :eek:

    Did you tie those laces for the second 5k? Those new tyres didn't deserve those muddy conditions;)
    Jaysus was that his pace for a warm down? F... me.

    Best luck in Spanard land next week ..and enjoy.
    Good meeting you

    I actually forgot about the lace. The new runners got some punishment alright. That guy that beat you is a savage. When he finshed he took and drink and time for more miles. Savage running from yourself joe. Would have done another lap with you but didnt wanna exert myself to much, trying to keep as much juice for barca as i can:D

    Thanks for the drinks yesterday Frank, what was in the plastic cups? Was it just sugared water, or an electrolyte drink? Really hit the spot, whatever it was.

    Wish i had taken some of that drink off Oisin now. When i had my little 'moment' after the race a cup of that brought me right back round. I was just too wary about taking anything I hadn't tried in training before. I have to say it tasted great, very similar to 'aquarious' which you can buy on the continent.

    Can you double check your credit card statement? and your inbox for confirmations? I thought I hadnt booked my flights last year and eventuallly found them where I woudnt have thought of looking.

    Fingers crossed if you have to buy now that you will get a good rate , after the strike caused so many to cancel and book elsewhere.

    You should get fixed up judging by the amount of people over on the event forum thread not travelling. Did you ever get a confirmation emial/confirmation number in the first place?

    Thats **** Frank, there is one seat left going out on the Friday and back on the Monday with Ryanair for €224 return, not ideal but at least it gets you over.

    I'd double check. Can you search your inbox for the confirmation email from the day you booked?

    I've a flight out on the Sat, back on Sunday, that I won't be using, if you want it, not ideal, but its there if you can't get anything else. Don't know what it costs to change name these days though.

    No e-mail, if i got one origionally i either deleted it or didnt book the tickets. Always book them when i registering for the race and i remember doing it because i remember telling people on here how much they cost me. I booked it on a 3v but the transactions are not showig up because it was more than 3 months ago. Ill give them a buzz in the mornngand see what the score is.
    If i didnt book flights im going to throw myself off a tall buildig:F
    Thanks for the offer pul but if i di forgot im going to cut my losses and regroup.

    Can we have a collective prayer for Oisin. The sub 3:10 has to come his way after such a hard training period. He cant be done out of his reward.

    first off all thats crappy luck oisin

    second of all.....you must be mad: take Pauls flights! He's not running.....think of all that speedwork wasted.

    See you on the line Oisin.

    Fair play to you paul.
