Wexford Half Marathon and SO 5 miler

Post by BShaugh »

Another great result for Tom - 2nd place in the Wexford half after competing and coming 2nd in Wednesday night IMRA race - not too many prepare for a half that way!
A real clean up job these days Tom, hope you're enjoying it!

Paul Browne also had a great run in the recent Slaney Olympic 5 miler coming in just over 32 minutes which is very nice running

I'm enjoying them in a sick sort of way. Wednesdays race was the toughest race I've ever ran, reduced to a walk after around 6 minutes due to the incline, then 2 mile of long runnable drag followed by a b!*&h of a finish where I had to walk, crawl, climb the last 200 meters. Following this up with a half marathon was not a good idea. Where I ran well up to the 1KM mark and then had to drag the body kicking and screaming the following 20KM. I'm sure Dena's ironman will be doddle compared to that :lol:

Fair play again Tom, the accolades are certainly abundant at the moment. Keep it up. By the way if you were reduced to a walk in a race then the rest of us would need climbing ropes or more lightly be going backwards :oops:
