Dublin Marathon


I know I have been lax at posting since I came back from the US, but Work has been VERY hectic and I have been getting a few things organised for the influx of visitors for the Dublin Marathon this Monday coming. I've also planned another Stateside Trip and Marathon, this time for February and the Surf City Marathon on Feb 3rd next, over in Huntingdon Beach, California. More of that later...

Anyway, just a quick summary for those heading to Dublin this weekend. Here is a rough idea of what is planned.

Saturday Evening:
7 pm onwards - The Porterhouse on Nassau Street, for food and a few beers to calm the nerves.

PUT YOUR CLOCKS BACK

Sunday Evening:
7pm - Runners World Visitors form the Forum, Dinner at Luigi Malones in Temple Bar
- Athenry AC, Dinner at Da Pino's at the junction of Parliament Street and Dame St.

Monday Morning:
7:45am - Meet up at the Mespil Hotel for Community Injuries, and stroll to the baggage area and Start
9:10am - Start Running (For any Elite Ladies get there for 8:45 as you'll be setting off early)
11:15am - Finish Running if you're winning the race
1:00pm - Finish the race for mere mortals
1:00pm onwards - Drink, relax, chat about why you ran so well/badly, and generally meet up with friends to relive the day

The pic is myself and Andy (FOAR) from earlier this year to help those who don't know us recognise our mugs in the Pub on Saturday.

your PB s post 45yr look similar apart from marathon
5k=21mins
10k 47ish
1/2m 1hr 43
but mara 4hr 27
i managed a 4hr 20 in my youth - i feel if i really trained the 4hr may be achaivable - as i am only 49 - thus 3 marathons this year.all best ROB
