Evening Everyone

Well done, another great week of racing and another very well represented Ballycotton series 5 mile race. Plenty of you guys seem to be hitting your ‘happy pace’ these days so keep up the great running, you’re doing us proud and keeping us all inspired and motivated!

There was a great tempo session down at hop Island this evening, with about 12 members present and many thanks to Elaine Guinane and John Desmond for arranging this.

Con O’Donovan has some Pacing Slots open for the East Cork Harbour Marathon
If you would like to help pace the East Cork Harbour Marathon on the 12th August; 2.15 for the Half Marathon, please send Conn an email.

As always thank you to everyone who contributes to the weekly email, and a special thank to Keith Burke who has kept us up to date and informed for the duration of the tack and field season which it seems has reached an end for another year.

If you have anything that you would like to add please do let us know, we are always happy to hear from you!

Have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend and happy running !

Track Field News by Keith Burke

The final fixture in the region for Summer 2017 was Round 4 of the Cork Graded League which took place last Friday in C.I.T. Richard Piotrowski raced in the 3,000m and finished 11th in a time of 12:03.8. It is fitting that Richard is the athlete rounding out the track field season for Eagle as he has had a very successful few months on the track this year including a Munster M70 3,000m Gold in a Championship Record time of 12:07.81 (shaving nearly a minute off the previous Championship Record) and a Bronze in the British Masters M70 5,000m in a time of 20:43 (while carrying a hamstring strain!).

That’s it for track field for another season. Keep an eye on the club website in the coming weeks for a 2017 season review which features plenty of Eagle medals!
