Surely this course is short going by the times. 4.41 at 50? Doubt it.

John Barrett wouldn't be your average 50 year old. He finishes near the top in a lot of races in Kerry.

Dear "anonymous"

Keyboard warriors like you really do annoy me.

John Barrett and Robert Purcell are some of the top vets in Munster and are admired and praised by so many people because of the times they do.

So besides looking for reasons and faults why they couldn't run these times why wouldn't you just say well done, great running....and why they do this....because they train so hard,push eachother on the roads and just love running.

Show some support!
