Midlife Crisis ?

After having entered Gaelforce West , we decided that wasn't enough and registered last week for the Warriors run in Co.Sligo, which takes place a week after Gaelforce West.

Have we hit a Midlife crisis , are we mad in the head? No, we aren't. Both events take place in some of the most beautiful areas of Europe, rugged landscape, wild mountains, harsh terrain,.... but amazing scenic views all around.

Knocknarea in Co.Sligo is a fantastic mountain giving views all around towards the Ox Mountains, Benbulben,... On top of Knocknarea is Queen Maeve's tomb, surrounded by heather ,.....

There are 2 walks up Knocknarea, One from the north (http://www.outdoorfitnesssligo.com/knocknarea-queen-maeve-trail.html)   , 1 from the south. (http://www.outdoorfitnesssligo.com/knocknarea-trail.html) .... But ohh no, the warriors run doesn't follow the normal path, it runs straight up the mountain along a small sheep track,....

And the scenic views, probably no time to take them in, after having struggled up the mountain with your head between your knees, and then afterwards running down a path at 60 miles an hour trying to avoid stones, roots,... and being stampeded over by the raging bulls (or is that runners) behind you.
We will talk more about our training over the next few weeks,....
