Here We Go -- Longford Half Marathon

After weeks (2) of intensive training the big day had arrived, after a long spin to galway I spent the evening not resting but soaking up the galway night life .. after no little amount of talk about the galway hurlers progression, we rocked back to sean's gaff, at 2.30 am i hit the scrather and was up again at 7.30 a to make my way to the race .. having no idea where i was going i eventually stumbled upon longford town .. i needn't have worried it all went well and i was soon lined up with the massive throng .. 2 hrs 15 minutes later i crossed the line dripping head to toe in sweat but quietly pleased i wasn't coughing/spewing/shivering my progression in these events has been slow but sure .. definitely slow is the key word anywhoo i did get a stylish medal for my troubles.
