SORCHA Nic Dhómhnaill of Newcastle West was the first home in the Women’s Dublin City Half Marathon over the Bank Holiday Weekend.
Her time was a slick 71:25.
“Delighted with the win, happy with the time, it’s always great when it all works on the day,” said Nic Dhómhnaill, who gave birth to her daughter, Siún, in April of last year.
She has been on maternity leave from teaching at Gaelscoil na Giúise in Firhouse, Dublin, since then, but returns to the classroom this Tuesday.
“Thankfully, it’s a Bank holiday weekend, so I still have tomorrow off (Monday). You’re still busy with a baby, but it’s a different kind of busy. I’ve missed a good few years, so hopefully I can just continue going like this for a while more.”
Although based in the capital, the winner still represents West Limerick AC.
