Well Done: Well done to local man, Robert Cullen (Seefin), who completed the Ironman, Ireland event held in Youghal, Cork on Sunday, June 23rd. Robert’s time of 10 hours, 45 minutes placed him 265th overall in the event which had attracted an entry of over 2,500 from over 60 countries and which was held in terrible conditions, with rain falling from early morning. Robert was joined in the event by his ‘Mac’s Misfits’ teammates, Kevin McElhinney, 12h 20m, (Virginia), Trevor McWeeney, 12h 34m (Virginia) and Sandra McQuade, 13h 01m, (Killinkere). A brilliant result for all, considering that the course consisted of a 180km cycle followed by a full 26.2mile marathon—the swim part of the event was cancelled due to the rough conditions in the sea. Also well done to all the other athletes from the county who took part in the event, the training now starts for next year’s event!!
