Many Happy Returns Peaceman!! How exciting - a new category to race in (though I reckon the 50 - 55 age group looks more competitive than the 45 - 50 group!!). Enjoy the day!
UM - Did you enter Dingle marathon in the end? Just looked and the ultra has now been opended - 50 miles on the same day, using the marathon course as part of the 50 route... if your interested?
