SATURDAY 17th -SLIGO AC 8k

8k road race.
Rosses Point, Co.Sligo -register via runireland, starts at 6pm

...and for anyone feeling really adventureous, recent world Ironman qualifier Eamonn 'mouse' McAndrew has sent on the following invite to a pre run workout (Note: This is an informal training session among members and not a coached club training)...

"A few club members are meeting at the yacht club on Saturday at 4.00pm for a training session involving the following. A swim at 4.15pm for 25minutes, followed by registration for the Rossespoint 8km, followed by a one hour turbo session in the car park at the side of the yacht club, followed by the Rosses point 8km road race. The intention is to finish the turbo session red hot at 5.55pm make our way to the start line and run the race at 6.00pm with whatever is left in the legs. This will be ideal training for anyone doing Blacksod next weekend. This is not a club coached event so please bring your own equipment, especially a pulse monitor if you have one".
