While many club members were ‘resting up’ with a controlled run around at the 4th round of our club Winter League in Brockagh Woods, two of our runners still had time for ‘serious business’ and serious it was!
WATERFORD HALF-MARATHON
Blaise Kinsella clocked an impressive PB of 1:24:04 in the well-attended Waterford Half-marathon. It was a good day all-round for Wicklow athletes with many PBs and Sli Cualann taking home the men’s team prize and the women securing 3rd spot.
2022 has been the busiest year for half-marathon events with 16 attempts and Blaise’s PB (his second this year) was the 8th fastest run since the club foundation in 2014. It caps a great year for Blaise where 10 races have yielded 6 PBs.

RATHDRUM SANTA DASH
More locally Marcus Murphy took to the 5 km distance twice this week. First as a leisurely stroll around our Brockagh Woods 5k in the Saturday WL and then at a more determined pace to run 19:41 in the Rathdrum 5k Santa Dash where he finished second. This continues a good comeback season for Marcus – having raced only sparsely the last few years due to injuries.
