Malin To Mizen: M2M - Day 3
http://malintomizenrun.blogspot.com/2010/05/m2m-day-3.html
Monday, May 24, 2010. M2M - Day 3. Do you know where the hottest place in Ireland was yesterday? I was told it was Athlone with a sweltering 30 degrees. Guess where we were running yesterday? That’s right, Athlone! The tarmac under her had actually melted and was sticking to her feet! We ploughed on mixing walks with runs and just making sure that we were getting as much fluid and food into her as was humanly possible. Our frustration at this stage centres on her feet – her legs (and everything els...

Malin To Mizen: May 2011

Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Malin to Mizen – Establishing the truth. EDIT - Just to be totally clear the opinions and interpretation of events below are entirely mine (Andrew McDonagh; amcdonagh(at)flexability.ie) and was written by me without reference to anyone else. I take 100% responsibility for the following text. Is it really a year since M2M? I have to say it doesn’t feel like it! It’s been a great year for me personally and professionally. And a piece of paper makes absolutely no difference to me.

Malin To Mizen: May 2010
http://malintomizenrun.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 31, 2010. No sleep 'til Mizen! The dust is now starting to settle on what was an amazing adventure for Jo and her crew. I worked it out that in a period of 144 hours, we had about 18 hours sleep! I didn't seem to notice how tired I was at the time and I think I am still catching up now. As a non runner it was a totally unique experience for me to be part of the support crew. I drove the Campervan. Prepared Jo's food, drink and meds. Sports drinks, several Nuun. Several packs of Physicool.

Malin To Mizen: Brief update...
http://malintomizenrun.blogspot.com/2010/05/brief-update.html
Monday, May 24, 2010. 95 km done today and stopped north of Killmalock (I wasn't with Jo at the end so exact point I don't know at this point). Full report later but we are making one last heroic effort, we'll probably be in Kilmalock around 9 - 10 and if anyone from anywhere is around please please please come and watch. The moral boost we get from support is unreal and we need independent witness to complete the book of evidence for GWR. The Malin To Mizen Team. May 25, 2010 at 12:54 AM. May 25, 2010 a...

Malin To Mizen: A word from Niall...
http://malintomizenrun.blogspot.com/2010/05/word-from-niall.html
Monday, May 24, 2010. A word from Niall. Ok the personal report from today. Just my ramblings. We got up and headed to the start and Joanne and I along with Sinead on a bike pushed. Out some nice miles. We were met by Sarah who also was on a bike and it all went well. Till the sun came up. It got even hotter than yesterday. High twenties and at one stage. It hit 30 deg in Athlone we think. Long before Athlone we had issues with the heat so Jo. Stopped in Ballymahon between Longford and Athlone for a nap.

Malin To Mizen: We did it!!!
http://malintomizenrun.blogspot.com/2010/05/we-did-it.html
Thursday, May 27, 2010. We set out with an very, very aggressive target. And when the weather was with us on the first day that target looked achievable. But who would have predicted a heatwave in Ireland in May? The heat played havoc with Jo's feet and there were times when I wondered how she did it (usually when Niall was using his trusty campaign knife to hack away the excess flesh from the blisters before.well I'm sure you get the picture and don't need me to carry on! Before but my God did it work!

Sunday, May 23, 2010. On mobile broadband so no pictures this time but I have some crackers for you when I'm back in a proper base! Day 2 was an utter nightmare. I think that we may have been the only people in Ireland hoping for a cool, damp weekend! Instead we got hot, humid and hotter. What didn't help was the terrain which was consistently hilly - I had a bad feeling when the very first street sign we saw was for the "Longhill Road"! And it was.both long and hilly. Is working brilliantly and Jo has h...
