Six Lakeshore Striders completed the sunny and chilly Dublin Marathon on 27 October 2008.
Special congratulations to Derek, Darren and Michelle for competing in their first marathon. All had to battle injuries in the leadup, and no one hit the mythical wall. Well done!!
And we couldn't have done it without the wonderful support from friends and fellow Striders. Hope you've regained your voices and hands (from clapping too much). Blessington had moved to Dublin for the day!
