Connemarathon 2011

The 10th Connemarathon is taking place on 10th April 2011
I couldn't go last year so they let me put out my entry by 1 year but can't put it out any further or transfer it so am likely to do it this time round
Anyone else interested in taking a pop at a spring marathon? (half marathon and ultra on the same course at the same time)
Sold out in December last year so probably need to make your mind up quick enough if doing it

There's a good chance I'll do this one. Did the half last year and we all stayed in Clifden for the weekend and it was a good day out. I'm considering the ultra if there are any places left. I'll know in a week or two.

Last year you could swap around between half / full / ultra up until some time in March once you had got your entry into them in time (before sold out)
Maybe check out the FAQ's first though to be sure it's the same this year
So if you want to do either full or ultra you can always enter one and then change your mind if you like after the entry goes in
How did you find the Hell of the West hill?

The 'Hell Of The West' hill wasn't that bad, just a long drag, but at that stage everyone was fecked so some were really feeling it. If you run a few hills in training it'll be no bother. It was the surface of the hill that caused me problems, the road surface was very rough with that tar and chip surface (Barry probably knows the correct technical term) and it really hurt my poor feet.

Anyone else who wants to do this and is not registered probably needs to get the finger out
Sold out in December last year and likely to do so again this year according to the organisers email from today:

Who else is going down for this? Me, John D. and Lazyboypops. Will probably make a weekend of it and stay in Clifden like last time. Anyone else got firm plans?

Only firm plan at the minute is I'm not doing the full marathon anymore.
May or may not end up doing the half - we'll see. If I do end up running I've a brother in law in Knocknacarra so will hopefully get a bed there.
