The squad has been announced and overall I’m pretty happy. It’s not far off what I would’ve gone for, though would’ve liked to have seen Tom Croft and maybe Thom Evans taken along.

Paul O’Connell has been announced as the Lions captain for this summer and though I still would’ve gone for Drico myself I can see why you’d choose O’Connell, especially up against the Springboks.
The full squad is announced tomorrow afternoon (fingers crossed for Ireland’s greatest ever contribution to the squad) and just incase Geech is a little unsure how this sort of thing works there’s a quite handily titled article on the BBC site:

1000fps
For the full effect watch it in HD – 1000 Frames per second is a selection of clips taken at (wait for it…) 1000 frames per second. The bouncing jelly cube at the end is incredible (albeit mind-boggling)

Official Times
The official times for the 10k are up.
I romped home in a respectable 1:04:45 so I only need to shave off 5 minutes next year to be under the hour (wooyay!).
Here’s how the rest of Team Awesome got on:
- John – 56:40
- James – 54:40
- Lucy – 1:00:07
- Aidan – 39:13
Aidan’s frankly ridiculous time places him 38th overall and makes him the 34th fastest man.
