Forth Mountain Trail Run
The 3 wise men of Donal, Enda & Gareth headed to Barntown for the Forth Mountain 13k trail run in aid of Barntown National School. Starting behind the local church the route headed towards the Battlefield car park where a 'gentle' incline saw runners question their reasons for entering. On up past the Carrigfoyle Lake , then the scenic views of Drooping Rock, Furlongs Homestead and the furtherst point of Skeeter Rock. For most that would be enough but the fun part of returning to the church to finish on the out and back course requires stamina and mental strength which the guys had plenty of.
Donal had the added pressure of his kids expecting results and he delivered by claiming first parent home in a superb 11th place to be allowed home for dinner.
Well done gents and congrats to the organisers on a job well done.
Donal Grant 57:30
Enda O'Sullivan 1:21:48
Gareth Lloyd 1:27:36
