Thanks to everyone
Finally crossing the line in Austria on July 4th took two years and alot of support. I know my time was not fantasic but I know how difficult it was for me to get there and for people to help me get there so I’d like to extend my thanks and gratitude for this team effort to many people. My friends and club mates for helping me recovery from my accidents and getting me into this and keeping me going. Dave C for keeping me together against all the odds and doing a fantastic job over the years. For putting me back together after Dublin Bus took me apart and for helping me through many things this year. Thanks to Greg for the nerdy sciencey stuff that he knows I love so much and put so much stock in. Thanks to my coach, Rich Brady, for the constant advice, reassurance, guidence and help. I’ve always been a handful to coach and this year I was much more difficult to deal with I’d imagine. My family were fantasic in understanding why I had to start in 2009 and why I had to go back in 2010 and were brilliant in supporting me in everyway that they could. Finally I’d like to thank my wife Glenda for letting me go to Austria despite the bus accident in 2009. For understanding why I had to finish what I started and not only letting me go back in 2010 but suggesting I enter after the day after race day last year and for making me HTFU at times and do what had to be done. I only got one medal when I crossed the line and if Aoibhe hadn’t claimed it as her own it should be Glenda’s, not mine.
