| Donard Fell race. Thankfully when the gun went off, and we ran up the main street I was feeling good and semi excited, but very nervous. Its a long climb, and I havent done it since 3 years ago. One and only time. Nor have I been doing any mountain runs in 3months so I was scared what would happen as I left Donard Forrest. I was 9th at the end of the road at the back of the leading group and though ok this is alright so far. Up through the forrest and as we left it I could still see Des Woods who was crossing the glen river as I left the forrest, that was kind of cool to be still so close to the leader.
Up the black stairs I was on Eamon McCrickards tail, and he kept changing his lead on me, until eventually I got past him in the boulder field. Then I realised who was next infront of me, Gary Bailey! (wmrt team) and somehow I caught him at the end of the boulder field. Then Des came past us leading, Neil, Deon, Andrew Niblock, Eoghan, which meant I was 6th to the top in around 42:12! It was kind of scary. Last time I did it I was 56:11. Coming down was a real experience as there was still so many people coming up. I caught Eoghan in the boulder field which meant I was 5th, but straight on that Gary Bailey came past me along with David O'Flaherty and Eamon was back with me. Then my shoe came off, and I had to repass Eoghan. It was scary how fast Gary ran. I was just keeping with david and Eamon behind me. Down through the forest we lost Eamon I was leading, but I tried to take a short cut through the last bit of wood which failed. So David got 50m on me. When I hit the road I was finished! David opened his gap on me, and I was constantly checking my back for Eamon. 600m on the road has never felt so long! Fantastic feeling to have finished 7th. Just over 4mins down on the record which Des broke and put to 56mins.
