    Does anyone have a strava file for this just to pick out the nitty gritty.

    Cheers

    Great stuff, a nice one to look forward to! I couldn't commit to the race up until last week but now im good to go.
    A friend found someone on the facebook group who is registered but got injured and is looking to transfer.
    But the quest organisers haven't responded yet to agree to the transfer.

    So im holding out some hope!!

    Hope you get sorted....at the entry price they should really be more accommodating.
    In saying that they couldnt of been more helpful this year which was a turn around they weren't very helpful last year.
    I got accom in Sneem in a pub B&B hotels booked out with a wedding(again this year)


    I was thinking of doing off the bloom on the 17th (70km) just to break up the training...(2 weeks out think it falls in nicely to prep) just to give all the new kit a good check..

    Good stuff, plenty banter with the Kerry crew this weekend!
    One trip to the shop and I should have everything, im keeping things fairly simple, not sure what to expect.

    By the looks of it the weather should be ok, hopefully

    A tough day but it was enjoyable.
    Found the kayaking very tough but other than that I was happy enough. It was some route to be fair, climbing Carrauntoohil alone was some going in the middle of all of it.

    How did you get on? Would you do it again?

    I dont think anyone enjoyed the Kayak!
    Scenery was amazing I knew what to expect on Devils ladder but the top through me off after the summit to Carrontouhill to the zig zag paths my heart sank with that extra climb!
    Went very well on the bike with the exception of the puncture after 10k I was just unlucky but possibly pushed harder as a result.
    Not sure about doing it again a lot of travel, organisation and the B&B was a kip!! with the hotel being booked out I drove home after the event so that was a bit of an anti climax..
    I was thinking about jumping up to the 24 last week but kinda glad I didn't so who knows but far too early to make a call on it.

    That extra bit was tough after having climbed Carrauntoohil!
    Theres a lot of organizing involved alright.
    We stayed near Kenmare so didn't see any of the craic around the hotel after.
    I might consider doing it again down the road but not something id do every year, you really would want to have the proper training done to go for the 24. I am signed up for Killarney so looking forward to the shorter route.
    Anyway it was a nice event to complete
