10K Fever – Handicaps for next Craughwell Race
10K fever is gripping the country – the National 10K's were on last weekend and Craughwell had one runner (me) who came 63rd in the overall race, in a time of 35:30 on the official clock. The standard was very high.
Congratulations to Athenry AC who were fifth team on the day and had the high honour of winning individual honours through Paul McNamara for the second year in a row. More on this at AthenryAC.com.
Of course, that is only seconday to the racing event of the century – the Craughwell Handicap Series which continues this Sunday, 30th April 2006.
