It’s been a busy last 10 days on the trails and hills, so we’ll start with today’s result where Arne Klohn and Derek Cullen took to the local slopes of Trooperstown Hill and ran well finishing 24th and 38th respectively out of 125 competitors.

The previous day saw the running festival for Wicklow Hospice in Avondale where Anthony Breen ran a very strong half-marathon to finish 5th and first his category. Yvonne Brennan finished 2nd lady in the 10 km in 43:58. Richard Costelloe also competed. Full results will be available Monday.

 

Last weekend Torben Dahl was busy – Torben finished 3rd but unfortunately this was on a short course – a category created for the unfortunate runner who got lost courtesy of some crettins having removed part of the course marking! 24 hours later he got his ‘revanche’ at Oughaval Woods where there was no such troubles and he finished 4th out of 34 in the ‘full’ race.

SLÍ MHÚSCRAÍ SUCCESS AND MURRAY DOUBLES…

by glendaloughac, posted in Mountain running, Race reports

The SLÍ MHÚSCRAÍ races series is fast getting a fantastic reputation. Torben Dahl ran away with victory in the half-marathon event more than 3 minutes clear of the nearest challenger. This was the first outright individual victory for our club in 2019 – so now we’re on the board.  The race was notable in that the top-6 overall finishers were all over 40!

Duncan Barrett (pictured) meanwhile finished 15th in the Ultra in 8:53 narrowly behind ladies winner Eilis Connery who set a new women’s record on the course.

Meanwhile in Kerry, Barry Murray started his day by running 18:50 in the ParkRun he has founded on Inch Beach. Later in the day he took fourth place at Claragh Mountain (results not yet available) so perhaps Billy Bland was right when he said ‘rest and recovery, I have never heard such bloody nonsense in all my life’.
