Mick Rice paced the three hour group in the recent Limerick Marathon and performed the job perfectly. We expected nothing
less :-). What none of us realised until last night is that he and his merry band were caught on camera coming across the Living Bridge in UL at about 7 miles and printed in the morning after's Irish Examiner "Backpage".
Mick commented on his job that day when he saw the picture last night as so:
Started with 40.
Dwindle, dwindle, slowly...
Chat chat...halfway in 1:29:45.
Chat, chat, dwindle a bit more.
15 or so left around mile 17-18.
Turned into a bit of a breeze and up a bit of a hill. Looked around half way up.
All gone. Not a sausage.
Plod, plod, plod.
Catch one lad close to home.
Run in.
Job done.
