Guest Post: Dublin City Marathon - 10 Commandments to abide by on Race Day ...by Pat Walsh

Dublin City Marathon - 10 Commandments to abide by on Race Day.

1. Come home safely. Your Number 1 priority.  You owe it to family, friends, organisers and fellow runners. Start it - finish it.

2. Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself. You have trained hard and dreamed (or maybe a nightmare) so take it all in and have FUN. 

3. Wish those around you best of luck at the start. They are nervous too, so a smile, kind word can help the spirits. 

4. Take it handy early on. Take it handy early on. Take it handy early on. Did I say take it handy? 🐢

5. Thank the stewards, the Garda and the people at water stations. Without them, NO RACE ok 

6. Cheer and acknowledge the support around the course. They have come to help you and make the occasion the fantastic day that it is. 🤸‍♀️

7. Encourage fellow runners out the course. You might hit a bad spell at some stage. 

8. Congratulate all around you at the finish. They also have got there and are as fantastic as yourself. 

9. When posting the obligatory selfie, don’t forget to thank those who helped included training partners, and those at home who helped you get out every time and held the fort while you were missing. 

10. Hold off thoughts of planning the next one OR retirement for a few days at least. Just enjoy the evening. 🍾

Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside"
