All go in a good way !! its been a while since I gave a good write up here. am sorry for the delay,
but so many things going on over the last few weeks. and with all my training & group runs & Hikes planned I just never got time to sit down & write my blog and now its all coming out! so sit down have a nice cup of tea and have fun!..
MSR Team were planning and training hard for the Wicklow Way 127km Relay Race that IMRA had on last weekend & there is the Solo ultra race, the Relay that MSR team done its 127km but over 8legs, each leg is ran by MSR team member & each leg can be ran from 8 - 22km and we all tag each other at each gate from the start in Kilmashogue to Shillelagh along the Wicklow Way.
Great day and great fun. our team ran super fast 10mins ahead of our planned times..
we came in 18th of 28 teams over all & Total time was 9:33:04 so we were very happy as our 1st long team race with few little complications !! so roll on next year and the race is on!...

So this race was our 2nd MSR team race and am sure there is many more to come..
Big thanks to all that joined my teams..
So from this race I needed a few days rest as I ran fast and maybe to fast for me as am I slow runner and ran 2 legs but only raced 1 leg. I wanted to help my team member with her leg as she wasn't 100% sure about the way and as a team member I didn't want anyone getting lost etc. so ran 19k in time of 1:20 which was my fastest run on trails ever!!! but with that kind of speed & not used to it I had few sore pains in my legs but soon went away!!
And was back out running and took my "4rd beginners trail run" 3days later which was a great evening out sunny and warm, there was a good group of 10 runners and I had a great 10k loop planned for them all..
Most of the the new runners were used to road running and just getting into trail running, with most of my beginner routes I make up a nice loop with many nice single trails so they can all find out what trail and mountain running is all about and this route has it all!..
Always happy to guide runners around the trails and mountains..

And just when you think I should rest up a few pals asked me to race the Wednesday night IMRA race with them and said I would for the fun of it put my legs were little bit tried but still had a super good time with the great new route to run as IMRA now have to do new loop routes which make it more fun in my books!...
