Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Last race tomorrow in the 5 race series that is the IMRA Winter league. It’s being run in conjunction with the University Hill Running Championships but don’t let that put you off! ;-)

Here’s the advice about Crone on the info page:

Course is fast apart from one very steep short climb. On descent make very sure that you see and jump over drainage ditches!

And this years Wicklow Way Trail (22k) and Ultra (44k) has an on-line entry system for the first time. The route for the 22k brings you from Lough Tay to Johnnie Fox’s and the 44k is from Johnnie Fox’s to Lough Tay and back again. Sounds simple until you consider I’ve gotten lost twice doing this event (blamed Tony, he took a wrong turn, I wasn’t the one holding a map….)
;-)

I know I’ve said it before but isn’t there only two ultras in this country and they always end up a week apart from each other? Bugs me that does.
