On what was a warm day which is always tricky for a marathon, Paul Daly completed his run on 4:11:40 with Shirley Quinn coming in on 4:27:22.  Brian O'Donnell did 3:36:34, not far off his PB in Dublin last October though I'm pretty sure he has not done as much training this time.

Ray Somers clocked up another sub-3 hour run with 2:59:09 despite having to stop with stomache troubles. And Lyall Guiney did his annual pilgramage to his native Cork and did well with 2:54:46. Not that many Athenry runners have ever gone under 2:55, I'd guess it's less than 10 people anyway.

Well done all, results at http://www.precisiontiming.net/result/racetimer?v=%252Fen%252Frace%252Fshow%252F1306%253Flayout%253Dprecision_timing%20.
