GLENDALOUGH TUCKER TRAIL 80K
On the trail side of things, Catherine Devitt had a wonderful debut on the 80 km distance (and ultra distances!) finishing 2nd woman in the Glendalough Tucker Trail in 10:01. Catherine sat in 2nd place from throughout all checkpoints although she was embroiled in a constant tit for tat with third-placed Denise Barrett- gaining on most sections but conceding times on others throughout – but winning by a comfortable enough 4 minute cushion by the end. John Conway was a DNS with fatigue after a big season catching up wiht him and James Heggie had to concede his third ultra DNF of the season.

About an hour and a half later, Rene Borg was among the last two relay runners to start after a handicapped start for most teams. He was the fastest leg 1 runner on the day and while he caught back 3-4 runners on the first leg, ultimately he and team mates Sean and Christian couldn’t overcome the handicap finishing – 9th out of 16.
