Doing it for the kids...Alpe d'Huez

AM: Ran into work

Lunch: Caught up with Eamo and ran for 50 mins nice and easy, the legs were feeling a little battered after a full week of stuctured training....long ride planned in the morning weather permitting.
For those of you that don't know, I am cycling through the Alps mid July for the charity JDRF - Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for type 1 (or juvenile) diabetes.

Dave Kane JDRF - Doing it for the Kids

The good wife has given me the go ahead to join a training camp a week before the event in Lake Como...really looking forward to that..!! I'm hoping all those hills give me plenty of strength for the city to surf. I will be in Ireland the week of the 18th July and will be looking for a 5k/10k race...Beermat have you any suggestions??

Tim is gone to Thailand, God only knows what he get up too over there...!!

What part of Ireland will you be staying? There's a great 10km run in Balla, Co Mayo on Sat July 23rd at 7pm if you are near the West Coast.

When are you in the Alps exactly ? Will be there from 16 - 30 July so would be nice to meet you.

Beermatt, what Dave i think was asking was 'is there any dodgy 9.3k races that are on so i can make my times better then what they are?

James - to answer your question, Old Kanser will be found at the base of the mountain and then in a BUS :)

Beermatt - will be staying in Dublin. Balla is a little too far. I have checked out a few websites but can't see any races.

James - in the alps from the 14th until the 18th, staying the Alpert d'Heuz on the final night. Great if you are around we can have a few beers and I can get the low down on Tom
