S\u00e5 kom den d\u00e5 till slut – dagen d\u00e5 jag slutf\u00f6rde min virtuella utmaning ”Ring of Kerry”.<\/p>\n

Jag hade satt m\u00e5let att n\u00e5 de 200 kilometrarna p\u00e5 210-dagar, men lyckades, trots mycket motvilja den senaste tiden, utf\u00f6ra det hela p\u00e5 endast 102-dagar. En bedrift bara det!<\/p>\n

Dagens runda b\u00f6rjade tidigt:<\/p>\n

Vaknade sj\u00e4lvmant 04:40 och steg faktiskt upp ur s\u00e4ngen, om \u00e4n motvilligt \ud83d\ude02 Kom ut i sp\u00e5ret och k\u00e4nde direkt att det var stelt i v\u00e4nster vad och drog p\u00e5 l\u00e5rets baksida, s\u00e5 jag tog det v\u00e4ldigt lugnt.<\/p>\n

Ca: 8-grader i luften och det bl\u00e5ste inte s\u00e5 v\u00e4rst. Solen var p\u00e5 v\u00e4g \u00f6ver horisonten n\u00e4r jag n\u00e4rmade mig slutpunkten, s\u00e5 det var positivt \ud83d\ude0a Inte en av mina b\u00e4sta tider, men f\u00f6rhoppningsvis en av de f\u00f6rsta av m\u00e5nga kommande.<\/p>\n

S\u00e5, efter rundan, kom beskedet att jag uppn\u00e5tt 100% av min runda. F\u00f6rst fick jag detta:<\/p>\n

D\u00e5 klarade jag av denna virtuella utmaning p\u00e5 200 km, genom att vara ute totalt 30-rundor, vilket ger ett snitt p\u00e5 6,67 km\/runda.<\/p>\n

Jag gjorde detta p\u00e5 102-dagar (inklusive vilodagar!).<\/p>\n

Nu v\u00e4ntar man bara p\u00e5 att medaljen skall komma – vilket kan ta sin Postnord-tid!!<\/p>\n

Congratulations, you have completed Ireland’s well known scenic route the Ring of Kerry. Before you leave spend a little more time in Killarney by visiting the historical site of the 15th century Ross Castle.<\/p>\n

Overlooking the third largest lake in Ireland, called Lough Leane, the castle was built by the local ruling clan, O’Donoghues M\u00f3r. Ross Castle was one of the last castles in Ireland to surrender to Cromwell’s forces. Up until the 17th century the castle was surrounded by a curtain wall with towers in each corner. A portion of the curtain wall was torn down to make way for expansion whilst in use as a barracks. Today the castle is open to visitors, retaining the tower house, part of the curtain wall and two towers.<\/p>\n

From the castle take a boat ride on the lake to Innisfallen Island, the home to the ruins Innisfallen Abbey. Founded in 640 AD by St Finian, the patron saint of the area, it was occupied for nearly a thousand years. Nothing remains from that early settlement. The current ruins are a late 12th century Augustinian Priory. Over a few hundred years the resident monks wrote the famed Annals of Innisfallen, a chronicle of Ireland’s medieval history. In the late 16th century during Queen Elizabeth I’s reign, the monks were dispossessed of their abbey.<\/p>\n

An excerpt from Thomas Moore’s poem entitled Sweet Innisfallen (c1870) describes it best:<\/p>\n

Sweet Innisfallen, fare thee well,
\nMay calm and sunshine long be thine!
\nHow fair thou art let other tell,
\nTo feel how fair shall long be mine.
\nSweet Innisfallen, long shall dwell
\nIn memory’s dream that sunny smile,
\nWhich o’er thee on that evening fell,
\nWhen first I saw thy fairy isle…<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
