What better way to prepare for a 10 mile race around Dublin's Phoenix Park, than a night of generous carbo loading as depicted here? Actually the hardest bit was getting out of bed after 5 hours sleep, and negotiating the buses on a typical rainy Irish morning. After all that I was very pleased with a time of 63:25, putting me in the top 90 in a field of nearly 2000. The race was well organised and supported, the course was entirely traffic free, and I was back in the hotel for lunchtime. I can thoroughly recommend this event if you're looking for a spouse-friendly running weekend abroad.
