Virtual Medley Road League – Round 1 – 3k (6th/7th Feb)

The results of the first of six rounds of the members-only Medley Road League that had taken place on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th February were confirmed on Tuesday 9th February. Round 1 was a 3k and nearly 70 adult Club members ran the distance alone within 5k of home on either the Saturday or Sunday, timed themselves with a GPS device and submitted proof of their times. Conditions were very cold and windy either day, but at least most could organise themselves to run the distance with the wind on their back for most if not all of the distance, which helped. The times submitted were then age graded, which adjusts the times to reflect the effort of someone in their twenties and nicely balances out the results across the wide age range of our adult senior and master members. After round one, the top three places were filled by Eddie Newman, Maurice Looby and Alan Crowley, and the top three women were Mary Stuart, Aine O’Reilly and Michelle O’Halloran. Round 2 is a 5k and can be run either on Saturday 20th or Sunday 21st February.
