Race Reports Galore

I'm absolutely thrilled to say that not one, not two, not even three race reports, but FOUR landed in my inbox over the past couple of days. AND... I'm on a promise to receive at LEAST one more report from Mark O'Sullivan too. Someone out there must have a tale to tell on their day in Kilaloe recently also??????

Dave Osborne kicks things off here with his report on his BIG Birthday Pikeman Race, in which he recounts how his dismount 'landed' him in trouble.... for a great read click here: Pikeman '12 Race Report by Dave Osborne.

Pikeman 12 photos and race results can be found here.

I must say, I read back through my own race report last week on Groomsport '11 and thought to myself... This is the BEST reason for putting together a report. It serves as a diary to look back on when the detail of the event has faded in memory. To date Groomsport still ranks as my all time favourite race. I'm a little jealous of this years participants. And I'm loving the different perspectives from Susan, Sinéad & Dave Murphy below. Massive congratulations are owed to the secretive 7 who all completed their challenges in flying form. There's much cagey mentionings of 'going on tour staying on tour' in these reports.... hmmm... Enjoy the read by clicking on the links below.

Groomsport '12 by Susan Wall A first attempt at the half distance, and with an injured knee. A great race report.

Dave Murphy's Groomsport '12 Race Report A very modest report, playing down Dave's fantastic achievement. 

Sinead Wearen's Report Roth & Groomsport '12 Complete with Groomsport results at the end, Sinead shares her experiences in completing both FULL and half ironman distance races in the past couple of months.

Well done to all.
