We are still working through a massive backlog of results so let’s start from near the end with last week’s Wicklow Road Championship. The tenth we attended and this time with our second biggest squad (13) we’ve sent to these events.
First home was Paul Duffy, reigning club champion, taking 100 pts in our club championship but more importantly a personal best and first run under 18 minutes. Louis Byrne was next in a strong 18:32 with Gavin Kennedy third. Angus took another in a long line of category medals finishing 3rd in the M55 category while matching his own club M55 record of 19:24. Jimmy Cullen also had a strong run dipping sub-20 in his first championship appearance for our team.
Our women’s team have won many team and individual medals and continued the streak when Donna, Aoife and Claire combined for Team Bronze. Fourth woman was Monica Timmins with a PB of 24:30 and Chrissie Byrne who won individual silver in the F70 category and set the mark for any future F70 5 km to beat.
