Went to fracture clinic in Beaumont today. I have type 3 AC shoulder seperation. Basically collar bone and shoulder parted company  completely tearing ligaments. Told to stay off MTB for 12 weeks 
Will get phisyo in few weeks to speed up recovery and hopefully get out on road bike in few weeks.
Any one want to buy an anthem 29er and a farm!
Only joking I'd never sell my bike

Well done all who raced today. That course was nuts. Well the first one third of the course was nuts because that's as far as I got b4 my attempt at Goober of the year award. Fell off on steep drop and dislocated collar bone from sholder !!
Thanks to Craig for sacrificing his race to drive me back to hospital in Dublin and Colm for bringing my bike back. Cheers lads.
Was looking forward to this years NPS races ! Not the best start. Will be back for round 3.

Great report Jimmy. Bad luck with puncture on stage 5.
I couldnt get up sat so i rode the course blind on sun which was probably best as if i had looked down some of the drops I dont think I would have rode them! Saying that there was nothing that the 29er couldnt get me down and most times I was still on it at the bottom. Unlike Jimmy I was clipped on which was nerve racking at times.
 The course held up well concidering the rain , a bit slippy but no slomp.
Fair play to the MAD lads for the efford put in to running this event from trail building to Marshels everywhere, free coffee and sambo at the finish and a print out of your stage times on finishing!!Great!
 Thanks to Laco for the moral support on stage 1 and 2.
 Overall a great day out despite the weather. Ill defo be doing this event next year if Mad run it again.

Great performance Glen! Well Done .
The long drive up was well worth it today, course was wet in places through the forrest sections but the single track walking trails they used were in great condition and made for some fast racing.
We were represented in all senior cats today Jim S1, Myself ,Craig, Dave Askin In S2 and Glen and Laco in S3.
Think i finished in top 10 so happy with that.
Both S2 and S3 overall NPS winners were down to the last race, Glen doing the buisness for IMBRC in S3.  Paddy Mackey and Stewart Galloway were battaling it out for S2 winners with Stewart finishing 2nd one place ahead of Paddy to take the win.
Overall a great and v. exciting days racing.
( 10 minn to go in extra time . Come on ITALY
