Waterford AC Half Marathon - Sat. 15th January

Thanks Helly but there was nothing handy or lovely about running in those conditions!

Johnny i hope you didn't just sprint off on Chelley when you saw the finish line (42 sec difference)

Sorry, forgot to mention Barry Lambe who had the lovely (& handy) job of pace-maker for 1hr 50mins.

Great race yesterday despite the weather. I heard the wind was worst on the back road, just as you had to run down the hill towards the main road. It was pretty miserable all morning and Thanks to the club members who stood around in the rain to help marshal (myself, Michael Carroll, Siobhan Kennedy and David Power (and Darryl?). Just under 700 runners on the day...Lots of lovely tea, cookies and rolls afterwards...
