DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Seems things are all upside down and mixed up in the world of running. Someone really upset the running God’s this weekend. Firstly in Wicklow it seems a lot of people went wrong on the new Carrick route (round 4 of IMRA Winter league). Bit harsh of someone on the forum to blame it on people’s “stupidity”??!! As Mick, one of the organisers said:
Great race in Glenealy today. People going astray on the course made it interesting. :-)
Then you had the National Senior Cross Country in the grounds of Queens University, Belfast where Alistair Cragg (second fastest white man on the planet apparently) gets beaten by Cathal Lombard. I know he’s not used to cross country but I still would have reckoned he should have won it if they tied concrete blocks to his feet…..I couldn’t stick around to watch him finish, I had to chase back to Dublin for the blog awards. Great result in the Best Technology Blog…… :-) Congrats Robin!!!
Brilliant night, full list of the winning blogs here.

I think Rene’s post of
“All the preparation in the world can’t protect you from your own stupidity”..
…refers to his own and the fact he still got lost after recce’ing th route the week before!
Well done to the Clonliffe ladies on their winning the B Champs in Belfast! Seems like you had a great run! :)
Read the articles on the Senior XC Final, I’d say that would have been amazing to watch!
Also looks like you might meet Lombard in Rotterdam!
Hi Jackie
I’d be of the opinion that anyone who gets caught like Lombard taking banned substances should be banned for life…no one running against him will ever trust him anyway. So he’s running Rotterdam?
Based on Tony’s post -

Probably to Athletics Ireland’s relief, Lombard has opted out of the Edinburgh event but he is planning to have a crack at the Rotterdam Marathon on 13 April.
I’d be inclined to agree though - shows poor sportsmanship and they should be made pay the price!
Maybe you can trip him up if you see him! ;)
And sure who would blame me if I did!
Well done yourself on Saturday! You had a great run and I don’t just mean staying on course….
