Three hills…

Medal

Start loop, conquer three hills, repeat… That in short is Achill marathon. In short but there is so much more to that run…

Achill Island itself is beautiful. That can’t be ruined even by Irish Summer (especially one we had this year). Of course with bad weather it is hard to enjoy views when you there but… you just enjoy being there… So, that what we did over that weekend. Weather wasn’t too bad. Kinda windy, little bit rainy (time to time) but that was expected. Running, walking, being amazed by views. This is Achill… But for all coming down there. Remember to have cash on you… Achill has just one ATM, which is located at the beginning of the island. Yep, that could be a small hiccup. Especially when you need to use cash to pay for B&B. But what will happen if only ATM is ‘OUT OF ORDER’? And that has happened that weekend. I you lucky and need just 100 euro or less you are going to garage. Trying to purchase products for 10 euro which will entitle you to cash back option up to 100 euro. But if you need more you will need to by for 10 euro amount couple of times… Kinda funny… but not when you need cash. Read more

Start… ok, ok but where is the Starting line?

On the way to collect number

I had woke up couple of times during night, just to check how much more sleep I have left… Nervous about first Ultra run? Just 8 km more than marathon distans but still Ultra. New experience? Could that be the reason for insomnia? Read more

I was sick for last coouple of days, couldn’t run. Was just walking, but it’s not the same. Apatate still same so my figure is suffering cause of that… Read more
