Pics of 100K World Championships 2012

I'm not going to write a lengthy blog this time on the World Champs. I was extremely disappointed with my time which I think was due to a very bad patch on the 4th lap, but hey ho there is always next time!


That said, we did well as a team coming in 6th place for the World Championships, and here is a few pics of the team at the event...

Quick Update on IAU 100k World Championships and 100K European Championships

Team Ireland at first aid station

Just a quick update on the World and European Championships. It was a very hot and humid day which made running conditions over 62 miles quite tough for the athletes. Full race report to follow but results are:


Team Ireland 7th overall


I came in at 7hours 8mins which put me in 14th place in World Championships and 8th in European Championships.


A great day, very enjoyable and tough (which is what it's all about) great to be part of Team Ireland and to run in the same race with the likes of Michael Wardian, Ellie Greenwood, Allen Smalls and Daniel Orelak.
