Bantry House

Bantry Bay will be the setting for the inaugural “Bay Run”, a 13.1 mile Half Marathon between Glengarriff and Bantry to be held on the May Bank Sunday, April 30th, 2006. Proceeds from the race will benefit Co-Action in West Cork.

The event, which includes both running and walking sections, will see entrants negotiate a challenging route that starts in Glengarriff before entering into the nature reserve, the route then winds its way around the mouth of Bantry Bay and finishes up in the magnificent courtyard of Bantry House. The route will allow participants to take in some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Europe.

There is a prize fund of 2,000 euro for the top athletes though runners and walkers of all fitness levels are encouraged to participate as it will be a fun day. Those interested in taking part can register online at _www.westcorkrun.com _ and registration closes on the 30th of March 2006. The entry costs for runners and walkers is 50 euro and all participants will receive a Timberland Bag containing a specially designed Bay Run '06 Timberland t-shirt and several other items at the finish line.

This is the first time that such an event has taken place in the area and it is supported by the Athletics Association of Ireland. There will be park and ride facilities from Bantry to the starting line and also from Bantry back to Glengarriff after the race. The website gives useful advice such as a training plan, travel information and registration details.

The main sponsors of the event are Timberland _www.timberland.com _ and Bantry Bay Seafoods _www.bantrybayseafoods.com _.

The Western Hotel

The Club’s AGM took place last night the 25th of January in the Western Hotel on Prospect Hill in Galway at 8:00pm. There was a huge attendance by all previous standards with around twenty-five people in attendance. It really was great to see so many familiar, and mostly friendly, faces looking towards the ‘top table’. Discussion was lively and nobody got too much slagging I hope.

The Club had a really good year in 2005, both in and out of competition, and seems all set for more growth in the months and years to come. Over the course of the evening members reviewed and commented on our activities over the last twelve months with perhaps the Club Championship and our 10K race at Christmas being the highlights for most of us.

Thankfully we managed to get through the business at hand by a civilized hour and some of us retired to the bar to plot even greater things for the Club over the months to come.

A sincere thanks to all of our members who were able to make it along last night and the apologies of a good many others were also recorded with our understanding. Our valiant Secretary Peter Delmer is in the process of preparing minutes of the meeting and we’ll distribute them to all as soon as they come to hand. In the meantime the Annual Report for 2005, Agenda and Information Sheet about the proposed club outing to “The Night of Flanders” race in Belgium in June will all be attached to this article for your information.

Ice Skating For Athenry...

Saturday morning, I was preparing my bag for work and was thinking to go for a short run before the race on Sunday in Ballina. I was ready to start my day when Alan called me asking if I waiting for him in Tuam. I was surprised and asked him why. When he told me that the race was on Saturday and not on Sunday, I nearly had a heart attack and started to panic at home. I called him 10min later and cancelled all my appointments for the busiest day of the week. I ran in the car with baby Alicia and Aisling at 11h30. I arrived in ballina at 1h15 pm, and met the team for a short warm-up.

I thought the race was only 8km but they told me that it was 12km then Michael Tobin told me it was only 10km, at this stage it didn’t matter, my mind was just "Run Forest”. I also notice that I was the only one without spikes on my shoes. I started to think about the fun I was going to experience in this race. The race start faster than I thought, and after the first lap I was more concerned about my “ice skating” skills than my running skills. I ran comfortably all the laps and felt very good, ok the speed wasn’t there but lap after lap even without any grip, I enjoy the run, no pain in my calf, breathing was good, the weather condition was perfect, not too cold, not too hot, just a nice day to run out.

I developed some serious sliding knowledge and balance for 8 laps. Every time at the hill, I concentrated on avoiding falling down. I honestly got lots of fun even when I got lapped after the 2 lap only. It took 4 laps for the Athenry team to lap me which I am not proud of but I had no choice”¦the wind will turn and soon it will be my turn. I finished last for the first time of my life, but I did not get frustrated and got the medal for the team so I am pretty happy, I got lots of fun, a new experience and discovered new skills.

Paul Reese

A short while ago I finished reading Paul Reese's fine book, "Ten Million Steps: The Incredible Journey of Paul Reese, Who Ran Across America--A Marathon a Day for 124 Days--At Age 73", (High Country Books, ISBN: 1567960146). This hugely impressive book details one of the most impressive ultrarunning feats I've seen described. Unfortunately Paul passed away in 2004 but not before he had some other adventure and published two more books which I can't wait to read. In 1997 he published "Go East Old Man: Adventures of a Runner in His 70s Traveling 22 Western States", edited by Joe Henderson, (Keokee Company Publishing, Inc., ISBN: 1879628155). (Click Heading for More)

In finding out a little more about Paul I came accross the quote below and felt it was worth sharing, particularly at this early stage of the year when motivation can be hard to find.

"Reflecting on 40 years of running and racing, I've come to the realization that the most important consideration about running is not how fast you can run, not how far you can run, but rather, the degree and manner in which running and racing enhance your life. That is the sum and substance of the worth of running. Having said that, I would venture to guess that very few runners either think or dwell on such enhancement. Their energies, their thoughts, are directed to times, PRs (personal records), races, mileage, gear, and the eternal search for the perfect shoe. I plead guilty to having done much of that when I was competing. Maybe the realization and appreciation of enhancement dawn only after a person has suffered the loss of running and racing. While active, we're just too damned obsessed with the inconsequential to recognize how privileged we are, how running and racing enhance our lives. One thing for sure, if you lose running and racing, you had better be able to devise ways to compensate because you will have a huge void to fill when you come to realize how running enhanced your life." Paul Reese, 2004

GCH Running star Gary Thornton produced another fantastic performance whilst rereresenting Ireland in the Belfast International UK Cross Challenge at Stormont on Saturday last. Competing in the senior men's race Gary finished hot on the heels of Clare's Seamus Power in an impressive 11th place. Gary's running has improved out of all recognition this year and he's running well in elite company.

Congratulations Gary.

On Your Marks...

The Galway Board of the AAI organised a well attended and successful County Indoor Championships last Saturday the 6th of January. Events ranged accross the age groups from U12 to senior athletes. Although full results are not to hand yet a few events are noteworthy.

In the 3,000m Loughrea's Jason Broderick once again stamped his authority on the field coming home in front of Craughwel's Mark Davis and Athenry's young star Seamie Gilhooley. Rumour has it that Mark set off at a blistering pace from the gun but was forced to a premature halt by a lace that had become untied.

Revenge was at hand however for Mark as he managed to outpace his Loughrea adversary over 800m later in the day with a 2:09 clocking. Loughrea man Pat Hannon came home in the bronze-medal position.

Congratulations to all of the athletes and officials from the Galway Clubs on a fine day's athletics.
