Ally C Mixed emotions.  Huge PB however 22 seconds outside that elusive sub 3 hour!!  Paced it great, unfortunately the garmin clocked it at 26.5 miles so I was caught out at the end as I thought I was on for a sub 3.  Could not have done much more.  Great atmoshpere hugely enjoyable.

Mungo Shuntbox Despite some parts of Dublin having a bit of a shabby Eastern Bloc feel and appearance,  and everything being twice the price it is in the UK, the race itself is great. I know the entry fee may appear high BUT you are guaranteed a place, and the support/organisation is tremendous.

There is more than enough water, energy drinks, and gel sachets provided officially, but on top of this, in the latter half of the course, the good Dublin residents turn out and offer water, oranges, sweets, and so on. I can see no good reason to carry anything yourself - just pick it up as you go round.

You can get to the start by many forms of public transport,there is a well organised kit dropoff, the prerace marshalling is smooth, there are pacemakers with big balloons to chase for a number of target times.

The best bit - the amazing support from the residents who will cheer you on, so get your name on the  front of your top so they can support you!!! Unaffiliated 3:43:11 3:43:11 4:00:00 3:43:11 55.79
