Just ran the Clontarf 5 Mile – That’s more like it
I was really disappointed with my time last weekend on the 1st race of the challenge… so I managed to get a late late race number for the Clontarf 5 mile this morning… only got it at the last minute. Was on my own and more focused and took 10 minutes off last weeks time to come in the 5 mile/8km in 46 minutes. Really enjoyed the race, it was very well organised and had a great atmosphere. One for the calendar for next year.
By the way, anyone to ran the race… There are some great photo galleries at this link
