Sissay Lemma on 2:00:09 pace through 15km.

In Boston this feels like a Kamikaze mission

Massive lead. My boy, Quinn Ballbach also gone off a bit pacy. We had said 35 mins at 10k.... He went through in 34.38. Hoping for 2.29, currently predicted 2.26.xx

 

[Carmona]

1.13.20 at Half instead of planned 1.14 for Quinn B. May not seem crazy, but....... Let's see. Fingers et al crossed for him.

 

[Carmona]

As I feared. QB went off too fast and is struggling a bit now. 2.31.xx predicted finish at mile 20. But that could drift unless he picks it up, which isn't really looking likely.

 

[Carmona]

Ouch! 2.39.xx. It'll be interesting to see how he reacts.

Two Ballintotis lads on target for 3.05.

I signed up for the Valentia sprint tri Sept 28th, accommodation is the thing there so have that locked in too. Really looking forward to getting going on the tri’s again this year, will be interesting to see the difference knowing I can finish them as opposed to wondering

Will do Fenit and Ballybunion in July as well as I’ll be down that way. I haven’t managed to lock in an Olympic one though, the dates and locations didn’t align.. really want to try one and towards the end of the summer would have been ideal

Not much difference in this to Tigst Asefa running 2:13 marathon with male pacer all the way or Agnes Ngetich running a 28min 10k again with male pacers all the way.

Terrible look for the sport all round

If the pacers had kept going straight and let yer man He finish by himself nobody would have batted an eyelid. its a bit of a joke
