Meet and Train Race 3 Lucan

Race Report by Maria Finnegan

Final Meet and Train race is Sunday 5th February hosted by Fingallians (Sunday week)

With most of the Christmas excesses shook off, 20 Sportsworld ladies dusted off their singlets and hit the N4 for the third Meet & Train Race of the cross country series in Lucan. Unfortunately my singlet was nowhere to be found on Sunday morning so my reward is to write this week’s race report. Memo to self; get organised!

Once we landed in Griffeen Park (via a scenic detour of the back roads of Lucan for some!) we did some vigorous warm up strides followed by even more vigorous grumbling about the task ahead! The course was two laps, reasonably flat with a small hill mid-way to add to the challenge.

144 participants lined up at the start line which equates to 288 elbows jostling for space…survival of the fittest! All the Sportsworld ladies pulled out a great race performance with Maria Jones posting a third consecutive Top 5 finish. Afterwards we tucked into a spread of muffins and cakes in the club house before making our short journey home tired but delighted with our mornings work.
