| Favourite Race & Why |
Tramore Baldyman Challenge in January 2004. This country race of about 5 miles is held in County Waterford in the South East of Ireland every January. The terrain varies from sandy beaches to mud banks, sand dunes, river tidal fringes and a final sprint along the promenade. I even managed to finish ahead of a few baldy men. | |
| Career Highlights: |
Finally breaking the 40-minute barrier for 10K before my body packed in. | |
Career Lowlights: |
Being overtaken by a large mobile phone at the 22-mile mark in the 2003 London Marathon. I knew I was in trouble then and, as I continued my slog to the finish line, I was in continual fear of being caught by a rhino or two! | |
| Running Ambition: |
To keep fit enough to be able to run a Marathon with my kids when they are grown up |
