Very tough day today, the 6km mountain "run" was an absolute killer. Once again lack of training reared its ugly head, I'll just never learn :roll:

Fantastic result from Mike to finish 3rd in a tough event followed very closely by PJ and Barry. The Tully bros did themselves proud on their first serious outing in a race of this nature.

Thanks to all the supporters who turned up to cheer us on for the day especially James who seemed to be everywhere.

Great day out brilliant support thanks James for being everywhere, Lorraine and Kate plus family's at graignamana waiting to see one of us for falling in. Thanks also to all the dunnes Conway tullys & Byrnes providing finish line cheerleaders. Great results the old man (second in his age group we think) :D dt making up serious ground in the final 1/3 finishing strong. Alan t providing a carrot for me to chase nothing like a team mate up the road. Pj would have given mike a good run for his money with a slim line kayak. Finally mike savage stuff but with great power comes great responsibility. podium = race report :D

Really appreciated Team795 running the first 10k together - can't pace to save my life and was glad of the company.
Well done Mike on the podium finish! Serious time PJ and good chasing Barry to catch Alan who made serious time on the kayak.
Thanks to James for the motivation on course and all the support in Graiguenamanagh and the finish line - really appreciated it.
And yes I'd do it again :)

Well done to Jim, Dave, Barry and PJ - i take it you've all been on donedeal looking at prices for kayak for next year or for a few weeks time in Waterford ? :o http://www.waterfordadventurerace.com/thecourse.shtml
