Fantastic day out in Ballybofey Sunday last. Sixteen from Athenry AC made the journey and a number of PBs & great performances resulted.

Mick Rice takes pride of place - not for the first time - in coming home in 28th place, but more importantly third in the M40 category! He took time off both his 10M and half PBs (over 160 ticks). His recent exertions out in Connemara have not taken any speed out of his legs it seems.

Martin Keane ducked under two hours, something he couldn't do back in May in Denmark, to come home 4th in a very competitive M65 category.

The rest of us were so-so in comparison. Yes, I took nearly five minutes off my official half PB but then two of my previous three halves were in Connemara years ago so they don't really count.
