| A view from the start of our Rosmuc run... unfortunately this is the best snap I could take before my camera batteries ran out! |
We gathered at a lay-by three miles east of Camus, pulling up our cars and warming up. There weren't many of us but this was a legitimately organised race, fair play to Róisín Ní Mhainín, who is collecting for Cancer Care West. The race itself was to head west towards Rosmuc (a six mile, flat run). The problem for both Rónán and I was that our schedule called for a 13mile training run, so we decided to run the race, then turn around at the finish line and head back towards our car (adding a further mile when we got there)! The pace was waaaaaaaay too fast for my marathon run - I would say that a good portion of the first six miles was run under 8 minutes! We did slow down on the way back though, and it was very nice to get a training run in with Rónán, prior to our big day in a few weeks time. By the way, Big Ron should be tested for drugs because he ran those first six miles at a sub 7 pace!
Distance: 13 miles
Route: Rosmuc
Satisfaction: 10/10 (very nice to get a race in)
Nach agaibh atá an time... literally leis an luas sin!
ReplyDeleteIts a strange time before a big marathon when you are not running as much and you have all that spare energy . Good luck in Dublin you will surely deserve a pint or two after the race.
