Team Geared Up

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) You’re almost too late to enter a team for the most fun event on the Irish Mountain Running Calendar. Myself and our girly team of Clonliffe females have been recce-ing the various routes of the Wicklow Way Relay. It’s 8 different sections of the Wicklow Way totally something like 120k. The route takes in beautiful parts of Dublin and Wicklow and although marked it’s always necessary to run your route quite close to the event day on the off chance that the scenery has changed. We had a great run last year and our aim was to get into the top ten but we were just outside it. Our goal this year is to blast well into the top ten, no problems!! ;-)

The winning team of recent years has been Rathfarnham but there looks like a strong challenge this year from a team made up of Clonliffe and guests.

Photos here of a couple of us girls and some of our Gobi March participants after our recces of legs 5 and 6 last Sunday. As you can see it involved small amounts of running, large amounts of laughing and picnic-ing. Isn’t that the way to do it?!
