I did Run The Line earlier. And when I say I did it, I did the guts of 20k of what was supposed to be a 26k course. I was following a group and someone missed a turn and we didn’t realise we’d gone wrong till someone told us we had 1km left. My chip time is recorded as finishing 5th overall :sweat_smile:

Brilliant course and great to see a crowd and atmosphere. My achilles and ankle were starting to niggle me so I wasn’t too disappointed. Some cracking views of Wicklow Mountains and over Dublin. Hard to be believe it’s late November.

A little bit of redemption for that fat Tipperary cunt @caulifloweredneanderthal today. After two months of colds and sickness, I decided on Thursday I’d give the Slieve Felim Way a rattle. 45km (well, 44.93) so my longest run ever. I won’t lie , the second half wasn’t pretty with me walking anything that looked remotely like a bump. I probably should be logging this in the lockdown walking thread.

Took the Murroe to Silvermines route. Would highly recommend.

PS I’m not that fat. There is a hydration pack underneath my rain jacket :see_no_evil:

I see a friend of mine on Strava who did it as well also said he took a wrong turn. He was doing the shorter route.

Edit your post above to include the 26km, it confused the fuck out me :smiley:

Well done, great running.

Cheers. It was very poorly marshalled. 4 or 5 at some junctions. None at others. Hard to get volunteers but when you’re paying the guts of 40 quid for it you’d expect something better than that.

Lasagne and chips. You utter roaster.

There was coleslaw and garlic bread as well mate but I avoided them :see_no_evil:

Had a banana, a pack of salt n vinegar crisps and five of those Superquinn/SuperValu sausages after the run.
