Oylegate Half Marathon

[joy]

Wishing Bernie Black and David Tully the very best as they run in this race tomorrow. Have a fantastic race guys. Enjoy.

Hope I have nt left anyone out, hear a rumour Shaughs might be doing it also, so if you are Shaughs give it socks.

3 PBs yesterday in Oylegate
Brian in 1:23, Bernie 1:52 and me 1:39.
It was a good course and well organised event. The run was two laps of a course which worked well - from an organising standpoint you'd need half the marshals and water stops.
I wasn't 100% sure on pacing so held back a bit for the first 2km, trying to ignore the field, but settled into a pace and picked people off for the next few kms.
To use a cycling comparison, it felt more like a sportive than a race though at a comfortably uncomfortable pace.
Results attached.

Great running by all 3 of ye. Marathon is well on track Bernie an David. Sorry to hear about Kates injury!

If it felt like that David you had plenty in the tank which is a great sign, ideally you run comfortably uncomfortable to 13-15km and then empty the tank from there. Hope ye all stay healthy now till Dublin which is the main thing and Kate makes it back soon
