I am going to begin with a reminder about letting us know whether you want to be considered for one of our teams for the Wicklow Way Relays. Our teams need to be declared in a few weeks time so we really need to know who is interested.
On the racing front we had a couple of 5k’s and a couple of half marathons run over the weekend. At the Portlaoise 5k Rory O’Connor continued his recent fine form with an excellent 4th place finish in a new PB of 14.49. Also running extremely well were Paul Fleming ( 2nd O/40 – 16.06) Tom Lupton (16.37) Ronan Kearns (16.52) and Linda Byrne who won the women’s race in 17.09
At the Mullingar Half Marathon Michael Mc Mahon finished 5th overall in a time of 72.19 and Fergal Whitty 2nd O/40 (75.04). At the Balbriggan Half Peter Doyle ran 1 hour 40 minutes.
