Bank Holiday Busy Weekend




Many WAC members were busy on the roads over the bank holiday weekend between the Cork Marathon, half marathon and relay and also in Dublin at the Flora women's mini marathon.

In the Cork full marathon some pictured here we had Ray o'Mahoney running an excellent 3.20, Alan Duke,3.41, and Ger Nolan 3.43. Brendan Aspel ran yet another marathon within weeks of Limerick and the Curragh and Harry Culbert left a PB behind him by deciding midway around to ditch the PB pressure and have a conversational 4.20 chat and Nicola Harte lead our ladies home in 3.34 with the rest doing relay legs such as Martina Fanning, Louise Casey and catriona Gough as well as Kathleen Kennedy, Paula Kavanagh, Caroline Kavanagh, Mary Power and Jacinta Brazil.

Also in the half marathon in Cork on the same day Liz Nolan ran a superb time of 1.33 and won her category of the Ladies O45 and Mary Burke who was too busy recently to fit in the recommended training went out and pulled out a great time of 1.37 and came in as 6th lady O35!

In the other Capital of Ireland many ladies had great runs in the Flora 10K and some include:Claire Fowler 43.20, Jacinta Power 44.33, Gabrielle Blair 46.35, Máire Lawlor 46.57, Laura Doyle 50.21 and Rose Ryan 54.28

Also another great performance was had by Imelda walsh in 64.27 and came in as 3rd visually impaired athlete guided by club member Sonia Dalton.

Well done all and looking forward to great performances by all these athletes in the National Half Marathon being held here in Waterford on Saturday Sept 3rd at 1pm!
