| Graham K. Bushe | Jun 19 2020, 2:09pm | Hi All, thank you so much for all the well wishes and comments. I thought it was Wednesday when I posted… it’s been a long wait, but the time is speeding up a bit now! I do hope to see Sugarloaf again, just not as part of the Round - but that depends on the visibility :] … As for poor Ben and Max, they will be missing out on this one, having done all the hard work on our reccies – a dog’s life! http://live.primaltracking.com/wicklowround20/?fbclid=IwAR0FNwWjoYaMrkFKcASbTdKFeqorpr5PNWufJclOuaXiTXrS8476nfGNVuY All the best, g |
| Jeff Fitzsimons | Jun 20 2020, 10:14am | Very best of luck, Graham. Delighted to see round season is not lost. |
| Graham K. Bushe | Jun 22 2020, 10:39am | A huge thanks to all who came out to support and cheer me on during my Wicklow Round attempt, yet again showing the fantastic group of people our IMRA family is. I couldn’t get over the amount of support I was getting. In fact, the worse the weather got, the more people that were out to encourage me along. What started out as a super clear and calm night ended at the other end of the scale. It turned out to be a test of character and determination and became a right old battle against the elements. I will write my race report in due course, but for now just a quick mention of those fantastic people who got me ‘Round. George Coffey, Brian Kitson, Caoimhín Mac Maoláin, Aidan Blake, Lillian Deegan, Brendan Lawlor, Ross Thompson, John Murray and Luke Raferty, many of whom brought family and friends with them. I know I have I missed naming a number of people. By the time I got to Cloon Woods, it was like the start of an IMRA race, and I was a wee bit distracted. And sorry for keeping you all hanging around waiting for me in that awful weather. I could probably have got better weather on a winter’s night! But that’s Wicklow for ya! Thanks also to everyone who posted on the Forum and all the other social media platforms both before and afterwards. See you all soon hopefully, graham |
