January 9th to- 13th – Always smiling, the jolliest runner in Team Ardee headed across the Atlantic to the wonderful world of Walt Disney in Orlando, Domhnall in the company of good friends set out to complete the ‘Dopey Challenge’ competing in 4 races in 4 consecutive days at the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. Domhnall thoroughly enjoyed himself and joined in in the humorous and fun fill atmosphere that Disney World has to offer. Full of humour and wearing a smile Domhnall ran an impressive 32:26 at the Walt Disney 5K on Day 1. Day 2 saw Domhnall in high spirits finish the Walt Disney 10k in a time of 55:15 increasing his pace from 10 minutes to 8:45 minutes per mile. On Day 3, looking comfortable and still smiling Domhnall completed the Half Marathon in an impressive time of 2:15:28 and finishing the Walt Disney Ultimate Challenge saw Domhnall on Day 4 complete the Walt Disney Marathon in a time of 5:04:41. Well done Domhnall, we followed your progress over the four days, very exciting. That’s another one to proudly cross off the Bucket List.
