DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Some photos from last Wednesday’s IMRA Hellfire race are here. And really really well organised it was too I can tell ya!!!! ;-) We raised over 200 euro for Women’s Aid with the TGU bars!
Apologies for being too busy to be taking more photos but you’ll get a sense of what the event was like from an excellent race report by blogger and mountain runner Mark McLoughlin, whose own blog Out and About is well worth a visit! Race was won by Barry Minnock in 22 minutes (that’s me with Barry in the photo) and Mags Greenan, my clubmate, in her first mountain race!

Barry was last year’s winner of the Irish Adventure Challenge, which this year is An Turas Beag, happening this weekend. Best of luck to all those taking part, I saw Aaron O’ Donoghue (Barry’s partner for the event last year) taking it easy at Wednesday’s race in preparation. Tony Kiernan and Rachel Cinseallach are winging their way that direction as we speak so big well wishes to them too!

Also happening this weekend are organised recces of leg 7 of the Wicklow Way Relay and the route of the Ballybraid race for the Leinster Championships. Both are good long runs if you’re looking for a training session… :-) Hopefully see you out there!

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) Last year’s IMRA Leinster League was a bit of a wash-out with rain but just look at the crackin’ sunshine we’re having now. Tonight’s race is extra extra extra special……not simply because I’m race director for this evening’s Hellfire and Brimstone mountain race. Not only will you get a chance to sample the TGU bars but you can support a good cause while doing it! Fellow mountain runner and all round super athlete Turlough Conway, 3rd man in last Sunday’s Black Mountain race, is doing a 70k cycle in aid of Women’s Aid and by purchasing the bars you’ll be supporting the cause. If you’re feeling extra generous head on over to Women’s Aid Fundraising Events or Turlough’s fundraising page and empty your wallet! :-)

Energy Bars!

C’mon out and enjoy running round the mountains in sunshine while supporting a good cause! (But make sure to carpool!)
