Cork To Cobh 15 Miler
October 5th, 2009 adminThere was a huge turn out for last Sundays Cork to Cobh 15 mile road race, This race is traditionally used as a marker by many who have the upcoming Dublin marathon in their sights. Its a great barometer as to how one is going and what form there in with a just a couple of weeks to go top the big day. The Club athletes and there are many training for the Dublin City marathon are all in terrific shape. So all they need just now is to start cutting back on the training and keep injury and sickness free for the remaining weeks. Unfortunately we have just got the first couple of results as we go to press, but we will carry the full results in next week’s notes. Vasiliy Neumerzhitskily is running very well at present and he ran very well last Sunday when finishing 10th in 87 mins 49 secs to finish 1st 0/40. Kealey Tideswell followed up her great performance in the Dublin Half Marathon to finish 2nd lady here in a brilliant time of 98 mins 39 secs.
