The one on my left shoe was for Bay to Breakers; the one on my right was for the BMO Vancouver Half Marathon.
Now, we've removed the harmonic balancer and timing chain cover. That's a brand new timing chain, which is now loose. This is bad news, it means most of the main bearings are probably shot.
This is a photographs taken at the St. Coca's AC 5KM Road Race 2026 which was held in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 20:00 on Friday 26th June 2025. This long established road race is widely regarded as one of the fastest and best organised road races of its kind in Leinster. The race follows a left handed course around a well known local walking route around Laragh and in the closing kilometer runs parallel to the Royal Canal into the finish at the railway station in the town having started at the primary school close to the St. Coca's running track. In fact for several hundred meters after the 4KM marker towards the finish the course runs parallel with the railway, canal and the R148 between Kilcock and Maynooth. There were around 500 finishers of the race.
The members of St. Coca's AC and the many volunteers from the local community must be given great praise for organising another fantastic night of racing for runners, joggers, and walkers. The 5KM course is very flat with the exception of short incline up a motorway overpass and makes its way along narrow country lanes sheltered on either side by hedgerows. These roads offer a great contrast from the urban population of Kilcock which has grown as a satellite town of the greater Dublin area. The warm summer evening made for an enjoyable night for everyone with a large crowd gathering at the finish to cheer on participants. Refreshments and prize awards were held in the Gaelscoil near to both the race start and close to the St. Coca's running track. Running clubs and groups from all over Leinster and beyond were represented in the race tonight.

My dad is the one waving and my mum is the one who took this photograph instead of going up the pirate ship because of her fear of heights. Things haven't change since then...That's what I love about this picture :)
