Our club had a big presence at EcoTrail Wicklow: co-organiser was club coach René Borg and several members helped out in key roles including Angus Tyner, Barry O’Neill, Colm Kenna, Duncan Barrett, Emma Hand, Paul Duffy, Bruce Phillips and Blaise Kinsella with Richard Kieran both marking a part of the course Friday and racing the 30 km Saturday!
We had two competitors in the 80 km – Graeme Warren and Johnny Conway. Graeme was first home in a fine sub-10 and Johnny came through well after a long injury in 40th. The day had a fast race with Gavin Byrne taking 6 minutes off the record and the first four women all shattering the existing ladies record.
