   Saw Eiffel Tower guy at about 10miles in he looked in bits- got loads of laughs but, hope he finished.

   He ran a good race. Got a bit hung up coming out of the Phoenix Park in the low-hanging trees, but fair dues.

   Let’s see a few of the RTE Canteen LardÄrses dressed up as the Montrose Tower and running the Dublin Marathon next year. It would be an improvement over what Miriam O’Callaghan usually buys in Dunnes…

      You sound like a lovely fellow…

   He made it:

   “Our Eiffel Tower has just crossed the #DublinMarathon finish line – what an achievement”

   Thought this was held on Monday. Did ye change the day back as well as the hour?

      Duh. You might want to try running more than a bath.

      moved to be of more interest to international competitors. Also possibly due to Macnus Halloween parade on tomorrow and Dub Council not wanting 2 events causing traffic disruption.

         Parade was yesterday

   Thanks Joe! Makes sense. Plus it gives the runners more free time tomorrow to get their heroic stories together for work on Tues.

      How very unkind, Hoop. There are several in my local at the mo’, still glowing from their achievement, and fair play to them. I sat on me arse most of the day, how about you?

         very true, sheik. it’s a massive accomplishment. and one that would be beyond me, that’s for sure.
         1. sǝɯǝɯʇɐpɐq October 31, 2016 at 1:26 am

            It’s beyond me too.
            It just goes ‘Whoosh’ over my head.

            Why do people do it? Eh?
            (It’s like climbing a dangerous mountain, …because it’s there’)
            And who’s looking after their kids? Whoever it is is probably feeding them chips. With curry sauce.
            And who told them they could block roads and make me have to fork out a fortune in taxi fares? Why can’t they find a different 26 Miles to run on?

            And before I go, I just want to say one more thing…
            I know that none of you ran the Marathon, and do you know how I know?
            – Because you have told us already.

         I’m only poking fun…relax!

      Hey Hoop. Get off your Big A and get out there you churlish, resentment-ridden, millennial salad-dodging lardarrse.
      1. Spaghetti Hoop October 31, 2016 at 2:39 pm

         But I lurve ‘millenial salads’!

   42.195 kilometres up and down and around and in and out of Dublin. Now that’s what I call a Tour Eiffel. Fair play daoibh!
   1. EightersGonnaEight October 31, 2016 at 12:51 am

      Indeed! And there wasn’t event a Luas or Bus strike! GRMA.
