Before - and after!Anne Ormsby may have been suffering from sore knees but she showed no signs of it when she made it three from three in the M&T Winter League at Tymon Park, Templeogue, Dublin.
On the first lap. Mary Finn of host club Sportsworld pushed on hard and had built up quite a gap on the water-logged and muddy course, which many of the women found deceptively undulating (ie, it looked flat but it wasn't really).
But Anne is a past master at coming from behind and she did it again, racing away on the second of the two laps to cross the line in 13 mins 55 secs. Exactly 27 seconds behind was Mary Finn, with her Sportsworld Crona Byrne in third and Bronagh Snow of Fingallians fourth. Coming in almost together for fifth and sixth places were Derval McCarthy of Lucan and Sportsworld's Eileen Dalton.
Well done to Paddy and his team on a great race. Now all that remains is the Raheny round of the league in St Anne's Park on Sunday 17 February - that's after next Sunday's Axa Raheny 5 (3pm), which is the first of the year's major road races, with over 2,000 expected.
Entry is Eu15 online or Eu30 on the day. Parking is available at the big church in Raheny village; even better, take the bus or DART.
Tymon Park, Dublin - 1 A Ormsby (Fingallians) 13.55; 2 M Finn (Sportsworld) 14.22; 3 C Brady (Sportsworld) 14.38; 4 B Snow (Fingallians (14.54; 5 D McCarthy (Lucan) 15.09; 6 E Dalton (Sportsworld) 15.10.
