Wicklow Way attempt

Hi,

I'm planning to cycle the Wicklow Way (http://www.wicklowway.com/) tomorrow in an attempt to break the current female record, which lies at 12h 4min by Beth McCluskey (achieved together with Peter O'Farrell, Paul Mahon and Eoin Keith). This time was also the previous male record until my boyfriend Ryan Sherlock broke this record with a completion time of 8h 17min almost exactly one year ago. Last year I supported Ryan in the car, tomorrow he is returning the favour. Eoin Keith holds the current running record with a time of 13h 46min.

I am planning to leave tomorrow (Saturday 3rd of October) morning some time shortly after 8:30am at the start of the WW in Marley Park and hope for a completion time of 10+hours, arriving around 7pm in Clonegal.

I am announcing this record attempt on this forum (and a few others) as a way of "officializing" the attempt. The attempt will be recorded with my GPS.

If you would like to follow my progress, Ryan will update his twitter account: http://twitter.com/ryan_sherlock continuously.

Waiting at the top of Slieve Mann now - she passed by half way okay. She is saying the weather is really bad and starting to get tired.
