Pre-race
I arrived in Galway, Ireland Sunday morning for business. Before I left the US, I checked to see if there were any races going on while I was there. Luckily, Monday was a holiday in most of Europe so there was actually a 10 mile road race scheduled in Ennis, about an hour away from my hotel. So once I arrived in Galway, I went to the bus station to find out about any connections and to buy a ticket. I set my alarm for 6AM to catch the bus at 7:05AM. I only had a 2 minute walk to the bus station. Finding the location of the race in Ennis once I arrived there would be a different story.

Once I entered Bluffline Trail, I decided to push a little. Boy, was that tough. Going up Bluffline from my direction was not an easy task for me. But once I got to the top and the High Trail connector, I got my opportunity to retake the "white christmas" version. I didn't get the exact same shot, but I think I got pretty close (see below).
When I finally regrouped with Richard, we headed doen High Trail until we connected with Tollgate Trail. From there, I was ready to push the pace again and crash down Tollgate until it dumps us out at the corner of Bankhead Parkway and Tollgate Road. We finished up the final 1.5 miles down the road for a nice 8 miles. Let's see what tomorrow brings. I definitely need to start hydrating more as the days get warmer. I think the cold days are finally gone.
