I’d often recite or read some poetry before I would eat. It’s good to fill up the heart and feed the soul before nourishing the body.

Well done @locke, @Tassotti, @backinatracksuit and @fenwaypark. Savage atmosphere around the place. Got to the Phoenix Park and Milltown to roar a few people on.

Typical @Mac making it all about him.

Locke · October 27, 2019, 4:02pm

Thanks @Mac. Bate out now. 4:43 time wise. Was crawling at one stage. Head wreaking distance after 35km. Done now though. Some atmosphere and some support.
Pint time

Tassotti · October 27, 2019, 4:06pm

Well done mate.

caulifloweredneanderthal · October 27, 2019, 4:07pm

Well done mate. You trained hard all year. They’re a cunt of a thing. Anyone who makes the finish line deserves a bualadh bos

backinatracksuit · October 27, 2019, 5:07pm

Thank you
My God what an experience, the ordinary people ofDublin are the real stars, incredible support, unbelievable.
Was on course for 3:30 till about 20 miles, started flagging a bit then and my knees gave up on me, had to grit the teeth and walk a bit for the last few miles, agony/torture, body crying out to stop, it’s a formidable distance, respect to all who’ve ever done it
3:48 for a finish, it’ll stand to me, gives me a target to best anyway, I ate half my body weight in jellies, couldn’t stop

Tassotti · October 27, 2019, 5:14pm

Great result. Welcome to the club.

balbec · October 27, 2019, 5:20pm

I don’t know how ye do it lads.
