Marathon relay update
George Munroe Wed 04 May 2011
Well, amidst the usual apprehension as to whether these bodies were still up to it, we just did it, and we did it well!
It was a great day! Weather was gorgeous—sunny but with a fresh breeze. Everyone in the team finished their stage in a faster average time than earlier years. We've also almost hit the target for the fund raising for Alzheimer's Society (Class of 76 Justgiving) and with a few more donations still to come, it looks as though we'll get there.
And most important we had a great reunion over a few drinks and a meal at Cutters Wharf afterwards.
Well done everyone!
The official time was 4:31:15. That's actually a bit slower than last year but doesn't account for lost time before crossing the starting line and the fact that Barbara wasn't there this year devouring miles on one of the longer stages, and so slower members of the team had a lot more to do.
There are official photographs online and for sale at Marathon Photos. You'll see Jenny at the end of race, Christine near the beginning and one of Michael along the lough shore stage.
I've added a few of my own photos below and expect the rest of the team may be uploading more here soon!
