| Shane Lynch | May 18 2019, 7:06pm | Fantastic Gavin! Following your progress through the day, it was clear from early on that you were running the round at a different level to anyone who has previously! You have set a very high bar, Very well done and congratulations! |

| Shane O'Malley | May 18 2019, 7:34pm | Stunning stuff Gav. Smart, organised and ruthless running. Another huge stepping stone. |
| Jason Dowling | May 18 2019, 7:41pm | Superb running Gav. We've been spoilt for the last three 'round attempts watching that dot go around ever faster and witnessing the bar being raised higher on each subsequent attempt. Breaking 16 was an unreal achivevment in itself and finishing just outside 15 is an incredible standard altogether. How much more can be shaved off, who knows? But it's gonna take some herculean effort to beat that time. Savour the moment as that is some running, you'v plenty of time to get to the pub before last orders tonight. Enjoy your few record breaking pints :) |
| Brian Kitson | May 18 2019, 7:53pm | That's a mind blowing time and an incredible performance. We'll done Gav. |
| Peter Bell | May 18 2019, 8:25pm | Well done Gavin! U smashed that one straight out of the park. Legend! |
| Lillian Deegan | May 18 2019, 9:59pm | Mother of mosses Gav - that's savage going altogether. Hearty congrats. Enjoy them pints, well earned ;) |
| Paddy O'Leary | May 18 2019, 11:26pm | Jaysus Gav, what a run! Relentless running all day, yet every photo we saw, you were just smiling and having the craic. Fresh out at the end too. Brilliant! Here it really shows the work you put in on route these past few months, and the sheer talent you have. Exciting times ahead for this year and beyond. As for the Round, Kipchoge needs to drop that 1:59 nonsense and get on the #breaking15 train. |
| John Bell | May 19 2019, 8:32am | Wow. That is a brilliant Round Gav. Congratulations. 3 Round records in a few weeks. I thought the other two would last a while. Who's up next? ;-) |
| Gavin Byrne | May 19 2019, 1:52pm | Thanks everyone for your well wishes ans kind words. Delighted to have run the Wicklow Round so well. My official time was 15:04:30 and the splits are as follows Start 0400 Kippure 0430 Carrigvoher 0515 Gravale 0531 Duffy Hill 0547 Stony Top 0604 Mullaghcleevaun 0615 Moanbane 0641 Silsean 0653 Oakwood 0756 Table Mountain 0832 Camenbologue 0842 Lugnaquilla 0921 Corrigasleggaun 0936 Carrawaystick 0948 Drumgoff 1022 Mullacor 1116 Derrybawn 1134 Camaderry 1234 Tonelagee 1325 Scarr 1419 Knocknacloghoge 1515 Lugalla 1547 Djouce 1647 Warhill 1700 Tonduff North 1726 Prince W Seat 1829 Knocknagun 1840 Finish 1904:30 Again thanks to everyone that got involved, especially the Formula 1 crew I had. Paddy may have been humble when his record was beat by Shane so quick, but if someone beats that record in 8 days I will be fuming! ha Gav |
| Adrian Hennessy | May 21 2019, 5:09pm | Amazing time Gavin! When I recced that route from Tonduff to Prince Willies Seat I thought it wasn't worth the effort on tired legs at the end of the Round - particularly that last climb. Of course you obviously didn't have tired legs so it was totally worth it. I also like your direct route from Scarr to Knocknacloghoge. You've brought the WR to a whole new level just when we thought the gains would only be marginal after Shane's super effort. |
