Seeing as I'm getting zero swimming done I'll probably try do a few more of these next year
Anyone thinking of giving mountain running a lash, just go for it
Great craic, great value, and all shapes and sizes rolling up and down the hills
The individual leagues would tend to sort out from easiest to toughtest as: Spring League (easiest), Winter League, Leinster League, Leinster Championship (real gnarly looking this year), Irish Championship
Any one of the races can be run as stand alone and you don't need to commit to doing a full league of races, just pick and choose
There is no Mount Leinster race this year which is disappointing, but Annagh Hil has been upgraded to a full LC race and apparently is going to get a course extension in the process
I reckon I know what way they'll go with the extension and this is another great race, and one that any of us are capable of running
Also the 'Little Sliabh Bui' race near Ferns has been retained and gets a run out in March
No mention of the Gibbett Hill race yet (outside Bunclody) but that will likely be added over the coming months
I see the Wicklow Way Relay is on 25th May - that is one brilliant race and we had a fantastic team result there last year
As things stand though I won't be able to do it this year, so if anyone else wants to step up and organise a team for it fire ahead, I'll pass over all my secrets from last year
There are a few in the club that would be fairly familiar with the IMRA races including myself, Shaughs, Frank, Dena & Tom so any concerns/questions just ask, or better still just run
