Club Report – Sunday 31st March 2019

It’s not easy being a mother. If it was, fathers would do it. So Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there who are powered by love, fuelled by coffee and sustained by wine.

This week’s results not yet posted.

Earlier this week I noticed that our own mountain-based header, Micky McAuley, completed the Denis Rankin Round, only the 39th person to do so. This is a challenge linking all the Mourne Mountain summits over 400m. The route is about 90km, involves 6,200m of climbing and must be done within 24 hours. We salute you Sir. Did someone mention Barkley…….?

The big event this week was the Titanic 10k, with plenty of Harriers taking part in both the junior and senior events:
1k Junior Race
Adam McCann 3:16 (and 3rd overall), Jasper Brooks 4:14, Rory Brooks 4:33, Peter McCann 4:34, Oran McKee 4:49
10k
Peter McGarry 34:11PB, Mark Smith 36:42, Martin O’Neill 37:27PB, Paddy Brooks 45:29PB, Brian McDonald 47:19, Maeve Dunseath 49:30PB, Scott Dowling 49:28PB (and 2nd PB of the weekend!), Aidy Hughes 51:36, Emily Dowling 55:24, Angela Stevens 58:21

Last year I think I posted a Mother’s Day song from Mr T. It’s hard to beat that to be honest so this week’s tune is for a different reason.
Yes, it was the birthday this week of my sister from another mister.
For some reason, every time I think of this person, I think of this scene. Think I need help.
Happy birthday ADav!
