Lara o Byrne is a tremendous follow on Tik tock.

The 2 Flanagan sisters are running side by side here. Reminiscent of when Mick or Rory Jacob would get a ball and only have eyes for the other one

11th and 12th they finish. Outside shot of a Bronze medal potentially

They’ve only gone and fuckin done it. Outstanding :clap:

It doesn’t look too muddy but the hill is a killer

Plenty of them struggling to come down that steep descent more than going up it

One of em just got lapped :joy:

That must have been some nightmare, his first marathon and he is really a middle distance man

Extreme/ultra athletes be crazy. Fair play at the same time

Efrem Gidey is a Clonliffe Harriers man. He’ll hopefully be defending his Raheny 5 title in 2 weeks times though.

Oops, not sure how I made that mistake
