Causeway Runner: November 2010

Friday, 26 November 2010. Race 4 Winter series (10km). Race 4 Tollymore 10km. The course was brilliant and I was very disappointed not to be able to continue. The section along the river was tight and twisty. The fire roads were solid and easy under foot. The grassy hill was steep and soft under foot but not to long. Some seemed to take it in their stride while others slowed to a crawl tackling this section. Friday, 19 November 2010. Race 3 Winter Series (10km). Race 3 Castlewellan 10km. Another great ru...

Thursday, 4 November 2010. Race 1 Winter Series (10km). Race 1 Stormont 10km. I arrived at the already very busy car park at 7pm. There was a great atmosphere and a lot of new faces from last years series. The 26extreme. Ian welcomed everyone to the 2nd 26extreme. I was around the front and sat with the lead group as we left the start line. We crossed the road at the main gates to stormont and into the trees at the other side. The trail was very wet with puddles dotted around the flatter sections.

Monday, 4 October 2010. Causeway Coast Half Marathon. Saturday 2nd October 2010. Again the Race HQ was buzzing with stories of competitor’s good points and bad points. The good points definitely out weigh the bad points and for that reason this will definitely be an annual event on my calendar. A big congratulations must go to all who took part but specially to the Ultra runners on what truly was an amazing effort. A video from Andy Yoong showing the Causeway Marathon 2010.

Sunday, 15 November 2009. Race 3 Winter Series (8.01km). Race 3 Rostrevor Day Race 8.01km. The expression having a bad day springs to mind. The skies cleared for a lovely day sun shine and blue skies but cold. I started warming up but something didn’t feel right. I tried to just block it out and get on with it. We all gathered at the start and away we went. Taking the same route as race one it was up the grassy hill passed the cafe and into. Glens of Antrim 28th November. Friday, 6 November 2009.

The race started on ormeau embankment with a record for entries. I got into the pack and when the whistle blew for the start we took off. Why was I worried about someone around me? Why was I not concentrating on my own race? To thank god that is finished. To I nearly blew up on lap two what was all that about?

Causeway Runner: Race 3 Winter Series (10km)
http://causewaymarathon.blogspot.com/2010/11/race-3-winter-series-10km.html
Friday, 19 November 2010. Race 3 Winter Series (10km). Race 3 Castlewellan 10km. The weather has been terrible over the last few days. It had been raining most of the day but thankfully the afternoon had started to dry up. The drive to Castlewellan was a nightmare. Motorway traffic jams out of Belfast then drivers deciding to brake at every puddle. Despite the drive I got there at 6:30pm early enough to get a good warm up and a chat to Rowan and Ian. I finished in 32nd with an overall time of 00:45:34.
