Guest Post: Dublin City Marathon ...by Pat Walsh

 ** DCM **

Best of luck to everyone taking part today in the Dublin Marathon.

Winners all the way.

When you consider those who can’t get there for so many reasons then you are super to get to the start line. 

Bank it, Use it for motivation, do it for those who can’t.

Rule number 1 is to enjoy the day. 

You have worked hard, it is a super achievement so relax, enjoy the moment, enjoy the day.

Don’t be killing yourself.

The last 6 miles are shite so take it handy first 20 so you don’t die a death.

You will not be the only one who is nervous on the start line.

Embrace the day and get involved with fellow participants and spectators. The energy from this is worth a few miles to you.

Relax before the race and don’t be scurrying about wasting much needed energy.

It might be your first, your 10th in a row or your 150th overall Marathon. Doesn’t matter as we never know what the future holds and it could be your last one so make it a good one.

The time you finish in will not be on your t-shirt or medal. All that is important is that you went over the finish line.

Have a fantastic weekend
