One feature of the race that most people will probably not notice was just how streamlined the whole thing was. The race started at 11am and by 12:30pm, everyone was going home just 90 minutes later after the refreshments and prize giving.

First time doing Killeagh. Great morning down there. Sun shone for the full race, testing headwind towards the top of the climb at the 1.5 mile mark, but its an excellent course, on quiet roads, with something for everyone.
ReplyDeletePlenty stewards, a water station ( an added bonus in a 4 miler !), and a fine spread of food back at race HQ in Killeagh GAA. A great morning all told !! Well done to the organisers.
