I´d love to do the Connemara marathon or half next year. I was in Ireland many years ago and I liked it a lot. I went on bicycle from Dublin to Limerick, the ring of Killarney, Cork and Dublin. I liked the people and the scenery, especially at the ring of Killarney. I´d like to see the west of Ireland.
EG, it is the first time someone quotes my words. "I ordered half a pint of Guinness but I was told there wasn´t any left. Apparently a group of English people had emptied the Guinness keg." Gracias. I don´t deserve to be at the same level as the knee doctor.

It would be wonderful if you could come to the West of Ireland...
No really, it would. Would you be able to get a few days off? This year it's March 22, so probably around the same in 2010. I'd have thought a similar format to Almeria -- travel out on the Saturday, race on Sunday, rehydration, perhaps climb Croagh Patrick on the Monday, rehydration, return on Tuesday. Would actually like to stay longer, and if I was going on my own I would, but will see how the idea develops. Maybe my liver would implode if the trip was any longer.
Main consideration is that the race is in a pretty out-of-the-way place and logistics would need a bit of thought. It's a long way from Dublin, so would be better to fly to Galway or Knock. May also need to move accommodation after the race.
But I won't get too far ahead. It may be just a pipedream at this stage. It's a race I've always wanted to do though, and am definitely up for it. Might even be able to drag Glaconman out of retirement, as well as some other forum luminaries.
