    Best of luck to everyone heading to Conn at the weekend. Weather looks to be pretty perfect, with temps cooling down, and no rain forcast and just light winds. Enjoy :D

    Best of luck to all on Sunday esp the mad ultra people who really need to get some decent box sets from Santa in future:D

    Enjoy the hailstones and heatwave that Conn provides each year and as i cruise up the Kybher on Sunday morning, i'll be thinking of ye all turning right and having a look at the Hell of the West in all its glory and the lovely sweets that await at the top of the hill.

    Ahh! illness has struck!
    What began the week as an earache has developed into slight case of tonsilitis (second time in a year - may need to get them yanked out!). After a tough evening last night I think I am over the worst but still pretty run down and sniffly. I'm hoping it's on it's way out of my system but it better move quick or Sunday could be in jeopardy!!:eek:

    I got my tonsils out when i was 24 after 3 bouts of tonsilitis quince in a couple of months. get them out it is well worth it after the initial pain.
    With reagrds sunday, if you decide to you it id take it super handy and enjoy yourself as much as you can. last thing you want is to have to drop out in the middle of nowhere.

    Hi all,

    My wife and I ran the half last year for the first time. Both of us ran it just over 2 hours, so we were all set to break the two hour mark this year. I'm from the area, only five miles from the finish line.

    We are both off work today with a chest infection. :( As things stand I won't be able to walk the prom not alone run 13 miles.

    We can't find any contact number but we've seen on the FAQ that Connemarathon don't do refunds.

    Does anyone know if they'll let us defer untill 2013. I've e-mailed but I'm sure they are flat out.

    Anybody got any suggestions? Thanks.

    It's offical, we are out of the race. :( We're both very disapointed. Heading up to the Pillo Hotel later on to see if we can get a deferal untill next year.

    Best of luck to everyone taking part. We're both going to be in Maam Cross at the finish line to cheer everyone on.

    Not yet. We went to a nice pub last year but I can't remember the name of it. If anyone wants to suggest the name of a pub, we can all meet up there (say at 8pm) and take it from there....

    Will be staying in Clifden, but Against the Grain has three sister pubs in Galway, all worth a look (particularly for you craft beer snobs). The Cottage, the Salt House and Oslo. Addresses here. Just thought I'd mention a few options.

    There is indeed. You will be given a plastic bag at race registration. Put your clothing/good etc in the bag, place this in the appropriate area and it will be taken to the finish line, where you can join the other 2,500 people searching for their respective bags (though they are separated by race distance and number groupings). Try not to leave any valuables in your bag, on the remote chance that you are unsuccessful in being reunited with aforementioned bag. Good luck in the race!

    They look lovely. Problem is none are in Galway City centre. Most are staying near Eyre Square and won't want to have to hobble too far for a pub. I am onto Aimman about last years pub, he is going to find out and post it up later this evening. Then we can all arrange to meet there again and see where the night brings us :pac: (last year it brought us to some seedy nightclub until 3 in the moning :D)

    So where are the beers going to be flowing in Clifden?

    Finally looking forward to it again, Had a Viral infection all week and it's now shifting at last, has been a stressful week to say the least. Roll on Sunday.

    E. J. Kings is the spot to be. The bar in The Station House can be good at times, but I've also seen it empty at other times.

    Just trying to keep the indigenous Irish beer industry alive!
    None of those English beers, like Guinness, Smithwicks, Harp and Kilkenny, or Dutch beers Like Murphys and Beamish.
