Nope, unlike blockic he didn't need me to hold his hand today. I couldn't make the race due to family stuff.

Great performance Alan, particularly considering the conditions

Don't even know you but I still never doubted you. With all the stick you were getting on here you had no choice but to get the GOLD:)

Well done AuldMan!

Congrats on a great race and a great time. Should have brought a bit of rope and hooked onto you at the start:) Well worth the long drive down and back.

Ya agree...legged it after the warm down. Brutal weather. Must put a face to the name in Ballycotton and def tie on the rope next time! Any plans for a half before the marathon?

IMO...there have been some frustrating comments in relation to the delayed start & some very inappropriate comments made in relation to the delay at the start of the race today... some (in hindsight) have acknowledged that as they now know the reason for the delay, they appreciate that we are fortunate to be able to run..... I am a west Waterford AC member.... and I am asking those who have posted negatively about the race... consider the above... There is another race for you... leave go you frustrations of the day....please acknowledge the good of the race. (From one runner to another)

Ya agree .... the start of the race was unfortunate but once the rain cleared it turned out to be a great day. Dungarvan and west waterford put on a great race and should be commended for same. As always a mighty crowd. Fair play to all involved. Roll on Tralee and Ballycotton.

Hi - I think if you read my comment, you'll see that I was very respectful to the events today.
I was actually supportive and understanding towards it??
