So our first training segment is done and dusted!

Our first six week period of training is now over and so far all is good overall.Everybody seems to have adapted to the inrease in training loads easily enough with Rogers,Roche and No 2[Ailbhe] being particularly impressive!
From tommorow Tuesday coach Artur Novak will take over the circuit training from me in Ardfert hall so everybody keep up the good work as i will pop in occasionally to check up on ye :P .This Saturday sees us move from Banna to the track in Castleisland from 1-2.30pm.Sandylane was kind to us this year weatherwise but we will be back there again for 3 weeks hopefully in February/March.So everybody is asked to please be there and on time Saturday as it will be our orientation day for period two of training for the next 9 weeks.Make sure you have EVERYTHING you need!

Our Nenagh camp will be a one day event this year due to the Kerry squads having double sessions over the next 2 weeks.It will be Wednesday the 27th October leaving Ardfert medical centre at 9am and returning home approx 8-9pm.The cost is yet to be finalised but should be approx e20 for bus and track.All athletes are asked to attend as it will be a great indicator of where everybody is at in their events and also gives the chance for new athletes especially to try new events.

At the second day of the Kerry XC in Beaufort Darragh Lowth had an impressive run when demolishing the field to win the U11 event.Katie Rogers had another fine run when she finished 2nd in the U19 3000m.Others who competed and ran well included Ciara McCarthy girls U9 and Darragh Courtney boys U11.
At the first day of the Munster XC in Cork Caoimhe Casey and Darragh Courtney were our sole representatives.Both ran well but were outside the medal positions on this occasion.Well done to all.
