I was going to take the Mick out of my self and Gerry,Dorothy,Paul,and Stephen about the 144km cycle we done on Saturday,but instead it's hats off to Gerry Duffy who was hot the heals of Sonia o Sullivan in Sundays bupa 10k race in the Phoenix park Dublin.
Gerry finished 93rd out of around 10,000 people in the race in a time of 39min 6sec,Sonia o Sullivan was 35th in a time of 35min 31sec,the other mid landers who raced were,J.P o Brien who finished 829th in a time of 47min 27sec,Douglas Bates 1048th in 48min 42sec,Enda Mimnagh,1173rd in 49min 27sec,Dorothy Duffy 1371st in 50min 18sec,Aidan Daly a.k.a jp's cousin,1299th in 50min 01sec,Eric Bates,3148th in 59min 34.
If I've missed any one else it's cause i either didn't know you were racing or i didn't meet you on the day,but you can always leave your results on this thread,again well done to every one especially Gerry.(Defiantly Machine)

Gerry, I was prasing my a.k.a in the bupa race, ie jp 's Cousin. He did excellent, and i think it was with no training. The conamera was a great experience, running the whole way and getting over that mound at 10 and 11 was very Satisfying. How the marathon and ultra people do it at the end of their race is beyond me.

Hats off to you. Had a couple of friends doing your Connemara race yesterday and they told me last night how tough it was. Your time was brilliant. Well done.
Dor, Doug and I had a great day yesterday, apart from the sub zero temps and the hailstone storm near the end..
Was wondering why you weren't with us on sat morning. Had forgotten.
We are thinking of doing a similar cycle next sat again if anyone is interested in joining us. Maybe Caroline will come. She was apparently doing a tougher workout on the dance floor of the Park Hotel until the early hours of last sat morning instead.
Similar start time (0634-0640 on the bike...will be doing approx 90-95 miles)
