Hi Bob,

I did this last year and really enjoyed it so count me in! I’m a female and a vet so definitely a help with the qualifying criteria.

Deffo, please sign me up! Did it last year and it nearly killed me but it was great. Thanks a million for organising yet again Bob. Am female and vet so likewise can be counted for qualifying criteria

Good Stuff Derek

Belated Update on Registration – Unfortunately we didn’t make the first cut but we are first on the waiting list – so there is a fair chance we will still get in – been promised an answer this weekend.

Will update then so please hold on to your May 21 availability 🙂

Hi,

Team Entry has been secured so dust off your trail shoes 🙂

I will send out an email over the weekend – I think I have everyone’s email except Diarmuid (can you IM me ur address)

Also we are short 1 runner (+ a back-up/super-sub for stand by) – I am sending out scouting texts but if you know anyone let me know.

Great stuff Bob thanks! We need to start thinking about logistics. Last year there was talk that we should hire a mini bus to drive from the start to the finish. I feel another WA group coming along….

[dmeldon]

Sent you a mail there Bob, cheers!

[sue w]

Great! Well done Bob, thanks a million. Let me know when you are splitting up legs, i think i should chose a different one to last year!

[BOB]

Hi,

Team is nearly fait accompli except for the final leg 8 – its a 10km route that is the flattest of all the legs + you get finishing kudos in the ‘Dying Cow’ pub in Tinahely 🙂
