Vinny Connolly had to battle ferocious winds that made conditions very difficult for competitors
at the Mountpleasant AC 5km road race in Dundalk, Co. Louth on Easter Monday (5th April). Despite the
wind, which seriously affected race pace and therefore finish times, Vinny stuck to his task and was delighted to finish 3rd overall,
and an added bonus was his prize for finishing first junior man.
