O’Leary comes from a dairy farm in Wexford cc @Bandage @Mac

I’d know his sister relatively well. His father was one of the cornerstones of Wexford athletics for years.

He’s up to 23rd now.

Are they from Bree/Ballyhogue?

Watched The Barkley Marathons and Full Traction on Netflix recently. Serious warriors competing.

Happy to give that the magical no. 32 and I apologize for leaving it so late. I was probably banned at the time.

I sat into my car at half 5 this morning to drive to Bristol for a race, I pulled in at reading services and started crying, and turned around and went home, my head was gone. The craic is gone, I had a bit of a mental breakdown

When you’re at mass this morning make sure and make it about you - pray for yourself

Sounds like you could do with an imaginary drink

You need to come home to Clare mate. Get yourself a nice mud wall cabin

I see the Art O Neill was on over the weekend, seems insane. Anyone ever do it?

Or get married and use the proceeds for a new car and a down payment on a house.

A friend of mine did it but she’s a lunatic and thought it was great craic. I’d love to give it a go some time but the weather is usually pretty horrific

Unrale scenes at the Hong Kong 100k.

Two Chinese lads finished first and second, within 2 seconds of each other, breaking the record by 3 minutes.

However, the fella who won has since been disqualified. He stole a bottle of water from a hiker on the course and then littered and is now disqualified for “improper behaviour”.

He bottled it.
