The Marathon Runner Mark Kenneally
Not many athletes qualify for the Olympics relatively late in the
career, then, to cap it o, are asked to carry the Olympic torch
through their home town. Good things come to those who wait,
and for Mark Kenneally, 31, London is just reward for a truly
marathon eort.
Obviously I was delighted with my time, says Kenneally,
the 2:13:55 he ran in Amsterdam last October well under the
2:15 A-standard for London. But then came the nervous wait,
wondering what other Irish runners might get the time, and if I
might need to run faster again. All I could do was keep training and
preparing as if I was going to the Olympics.
He neednt have worried: several others did try, and failed,
leaving Kenneally as Irelands sole mens marathon qualier, in
what is sure to be one of the most spectacular events in London
starting and nishing in front of Buckingham Palace.
Although also relatively new to marathon running, Kenneally
served his time successfully on the domestic track and cross-
country scene, with Clonlie Harriers, winning national titles in
both and was Irelands top nisher, in eighth, when the European
Cross Country was staged in Dublin, in 2009. Hes always balanced
sport with his career too a qualied physiotherapist, now running
his own practice in Celbridge, Co Kildare: Full-time training, all
year round, is not something Id relish. Having only one stimulus can
make you feel mentally stale, can be a bit boring.

The Chef de Mission Sonia OSullivan
The fact that its London certainly makes it that bit easier, says
Sonia OSullivan, because I am so familiar with London, spend a
lot of time here, and know exactly how to get around. So it really
is home territory in that way. I think its a place the Irish athletes
can enjoy as well, plus being easier to travel out, acclimatise, and
having all the support they need, right here in place, can only help
them all be that bit more successful.
It seems a little strange that OSullivan is talking up our general
Olympic ambitions, rather than just her own, but her appointment
as Chef de Mission for the Irish team, the person who makes sure
all our athletes perform as smoothly as possible in London, was a
masterstroke: no one is better qualifed, in every sense, not just
because OSullivan, 42, has divided most of the last two decades
between her homes in London and Melbourne.
Cork will always be home, yet OSullivans familiarity with
the city of London, coupled with her immense experience of
competing in four Olympics, including the silver medal high of
Sydney, in 2000, makes her ideally positioned to ease any
fears an athlete might harbour going into the biggest event of
their lives.
Thats not saying everything will automatically go to plan, and
the Olympics, by their very gargantuan nature, will always throw up
challenges: I suppose the one big unknown really is the transport,
and how everyone gets around when all the crowds arrive in. You
dont have to worry too much around the Olympic Park, but if
youre trying to get out to Wembley, or the boxing, it will be a test,
defnitely the frst time, to see how it all works out. But I do think
London can handle it.

Its Londons year frst the Queens Diamond Jubilee and now the Games. But if
youre travelling to the Olympics, says resident Tilly Culme-Seymour, dont overlook
the host of cultural and foodie events on ofer.
Calling
London
L
ondoners have every excuse for feeling over the 2012 Olympics.
Te past 18 months alone, our patriotic feathers have been
rufed frst by the Royal Wedding, and then by the Queens
Jubilee. Weve had enough of banner waving and bank holidays.
Havent we? And now the eyes of the world will be on London yet
again. Te bustle of preparing for the arrival of world-class athletes,
and the accommodation and entertainment of supporters and
spectators, has already brought disruption on a grand scale; new
stadiums and housing on our back doorstep, repairs on the tube lines
making it harder to get to work the incentivising billboards urging
us to behave as cultural attachs are a bitter pill to swallow. Our stif
upper lip is trembling with over-fatigue.
Tus few would admit they are actually looking forward to the
Games. Its almost un-British. Londons own threaten to desert
faster than fnalists in the 100-metre sprint. But dig deeper and
youll fnd a kernel of excitement, whether of the more cynical
variety whacking their house on the short-term rental market
for top dollar or, um, innocent, like the friend of mine who has
won the ticketing lottery and bagged seats to womens volleyball.
Hes walking around like Charlie Bucket after fnding the Golden
Ticket, wide-eyed and rather shell-shocked.
Im staying in the capital, come what may. Te city will
be putting its best football boot forward after all. Tere will
be exhibitions, concerts, open-air cinema. Whats not to like?
Herewith, some of the highlights, from food to culture, that will
sustain me through the Games.

Dating back to the 19th century, it was partly
destroyed in the 1916 rising. Today you can
still enjoy some of the original features, high
dome ceilings and hand crafted stone, but now
complimented with plush leather seats and
dramatic chandeliers. Superb food served daily.
Situated off Dublins premier shopping street,
Grafton Street. This is one of the finest, if not
the finest, Victorian pub in Dublin. Although it
is unchanged since 19th century, this is not a
museum, it is a buzzing vibrant pub with a
fantastic atmosphere and a special place in the
heart of Dubliners. This is a must see.
Established in the 1700s, it was last renovated
in 1895 and was the first pub in Dublin to
change from gas lighting to electricity. A
favourite haunt for those in the literary world
including Joyce and Kavanagh over the years.
Today it still has the authentic feel of a real
Dublin pub.
The Quays, Temple Bar situated in the heart of
Temple Bar is one of Dublins liveliest pubs with
a great mix of locals and tourists. Live Irish

D
ublin, it seems, is in the middle of a cycling revolution. Te
Dublin Bike scheme has been a success beyond the City
Councils wildest dreams (more than 3.5 million journeys
at last count!), there are new bike lanes opening up (see the
Grand Canal) and bike shops citywide are thriving. Pedal
power is in full efect not since the 1950s has there been so many
people on two wheels in our fair city. So, whats behind the renewed
interest? Dublin Bikes is responsible for breaking in more than a few
new cyclists, but maybe more credence should be given to the forward-
thinking, government-driven Bike to Work scheme that has had a
huge efect by making decent bikes of all shapes and sizes a lot more
afordable. Either way, its hard not to notice an increase in a two wheels
good, four wheels bad mentality in Dublin nowadays.
One of the less appealing consequences of the cycling revolution has
been the rise of the Mamil (middle-aged man in Lycra), I must confess to
purchasing my frst (non comedy) Lycra recently, alongside a host of other
cycling paraphernalia.
I have long been a city cyclist, using my trusty steed for short hops
about the city, but recently decided to venture beyond the Pale and into our
neighbouring county, Wicklow, aptly known as the Garden of Ireland one
trip was all it took to have me hooked.
Wicklow is a great place to embark on, or continue, a two-wheel love
afair, each route taking in breathtaking views and catering for all levels of
ftness and experience. Some favoured routes include the rather daunting
Stocking Lane (head out through Rathfarnham, cross the M50 and feel
the burn) or Enniskerry via Stepaside and Te Scalp (dont let the name
throw you). Te Stocking Lane journey features a gruelling 7km climb,
rewarded with a spectacular view of the capital go on a Sunday to catch
the ice-cream man. From here you can continue across the hills to Sally
Gap and straight on to Laragh and beyond, or left to the spectacular views
of Luggala. If you do go to Laragh be sure to stop in the excellent (and bike
friendly) Glendalough Green caf (a haven for weary cyclists). Te trip
out here and back is about 90km and not for the faint hearted. Enniskerry
and back covers about 40km and brings you to Powerscourt Gardens and
Waterfall, taking in spectacular views of the Sugar Loaf. If you feel like
pushing your legs a little harder, continue on to Greystones, where a spot of
lunch in Te Happy Pear (Church Road, Greystones, Co Wicklow, 01 287
3655; thehappypear.ie) is a delicious reward. You can get a spin over Bray
Head in too if feeling particularly tough/crazy.
You dont have to don Lycra to get on two wheels in
the city though; there are lots of options for those who
wish to hop on a bike without scaring the neighbours
kids. For less challenging routes from the city try the
scenic (and fat) journey out to Howth; stop to walk the
pier before grabbing a bag of chips in the village. If you
feel like stretching the legs further, take a spin around
Howth Head too. If the chips get the better of you,
bring your bike back on the DART (of-peak hours only
weekends and non rush hour).
Back in the city centre, the aforementioned Dublin
Bike Scheme (dublinbikes.ie) ofers many options. Highlights include
Blessington Street (the most northerly stop) to take in the quiet oasis that
is the Blessington Street Basin, and Merrion Square for Government
Buildings, Trinity College and the square itself. Te system allows for
short term (2 for 3 days) or long term (10 per annum). Te frst half hour
is free and after that charges increase per hour to encourage sharing. Over
in the Phoenix Park, pictured here, you can rent a tandem for a romantic
jaunt through the deer-inhabited grounds (phoenixparkbikehire.com; one
hour: 10; three hours: 20; full day: 40), again the Lycra is optional but a
picnic, if its a sunny day, comes highly recommended.

With ne dining, dramatic sightseeing, beaches and golf
courses galore, Mallorca caters for the high life. Irish
resident Helen Cummins singles out her favourite spots.
MALLORCA
GRAN HOTEL SON NET is
an old country house set in the
mountains, 20 minutes drive from
Palma. It is best described as
oering old world glamour. (0034
971 147 000; sonnet.es)
My favourite restaurant is 1661 CUINA DE
BANYALBUFAR, a small place by the side
of the street in the heart of the west-coast
town of Banyalbufar. The Mediterranean
food is delicious, light and fresh; the service
is friendly and welcoming, while the town is
authentic Mallorca. The local wine, Cornet, is
highly recommended.
On the south coast, the shing
villages of CALA FIGUERA,
pictured, and CALA SANTANY
are as if time stood still. Its nice
to browse around the small shops
and stop for a coee and chat to
the locals.
For a golfer, Mallorca is paradise
boasting 24 golf courses within one hours
drive. I live in Son Vida behind Palma
so I have a choice of three excellent
golf courses on my doorstep SON
MUNTANER is my favourite.
One of the aspects I love about my job
as a lifestyle magazine editor is trying lots
of restaurants. The best tapas restaurant is
FORN DE SANT JOAN, in part of the old
town of Palma called La Lonja.
(0034 971 728 422; forndesantjoan.com/en)
Mallorca has 262 beaches. My favourite is
CAP DE FORMENTOR in the north of the
island. The clear blue sea and white sandy beach
could easily be mistaken for the Caribbean.
An Insiders Guide to
BEINGTHERE
84 | JULY 2012
Some of the most dramatic
sightseeing is along the WEST
COAST, no matter how many
times I do this day trip it always
takes my breath away. Villages
such as Estellencs, Banyalbufar,
Valldemossa, Dei, Sller and
Fornalutx are beautiful places
to explore.
BEACHLIFE... The beachclub I like to go to withfriends is
PUROBEACHonthe outskirts of Palma the place is ultra cool,
the food is great and the ambience is hipand trendy.
There is no shortage of
spectacular locations on
the sea front just outside
Palma and one of my all-
time favourites is HOSPES
MARICEL & SPA. (0034
971 70 77 44; hospes.com)
For me, PALMA DE MALLORCA is one
of the most beautiful cities in the world. The
hundreds of boats moored in the harbour, the
palm trees lining the promenade that goes on
for miles, and its the perfect place to cycle
when its not too hot.
Boutique and nca (country) hotels are very
popular my favourites include CANCERA (an
old palace) in the heart of Palma (0034 971 715 012;
cancerahotel.com) and PUROHOTEL (0034 971
425 450; purohotel.com), which is the trendy place
to be in the city.
Sometimes I go to the
market on Sunday morning;
the best is in POLLENSA
with lots of stalls selling
fresh owers, fruit and
vegetables as well as
handmade jewellery, bags
and accessories.
Gourmets will have a delicious time
exploring the island, which boasts ve
Michelin-starred restaurants: Zaranda,
Restaurante Jardn, Es Fum, Es Rac
des Teix and Es Mol den Bou. ES
FUMin St Regis Mardavall Hotel is
in my opinion the best restaurant
on Mallorca. (0034 971 629 629;

equal Eurocrat blandness? Tere is, perhaps, a certain truth in
this, but when the work is done and the short journey made
from the sleek steel and glass of the Euro headquarters to the city
centre, Brussels can efortlessly transform itself into a multi-cultural melting
pot, with alluring and lived-in character. From high-end shopping along
Avenue Louise to the down-to-earth neighborhood of Marolles and the
breathtaking Grand Place Brussels is, diplomatically speaking, a marvel.
DONT MISS ...
If you havent seen
the Grand Place before,
then prepare to be
gobsmacked. In essence,
this is a triumphant blend
of Baroque and Gothic
architecture, equal parts
imposing and singularly
beautiful. It is, perhaps,
better experienced in the
early morning, before the
hordes of camera-toting
tourists arrive. So why not
go right after breakfast,
choose a caf seat and
soak up the splendour?
To get to the Saint-Gilles
district youll need to either
put on your walking boots
or take a tram or taxi. Its
worth the (short) journey,
as here youll nd the
exquisite Horta Museum.
Dedicated to the life and
work of Ghent-born Victor
Horta, an acclaimed Art
Nouveau architect and
designer, this intimate
museum is light, airy and
exceptionally pretty.
(Closed Mondays; open
Tues-Sun 2pm-5.30pm;
closed July 21st. 7 entry,
25 Rue Amricaine,
hortamuseum.be)
The Magritte
Museumhas become a
must-see for art lovers
since it opened three years
ago. The splendid gallery
features more than 200
works of Magrittes
surrealist art. Advance
(online) booking is
essential, as if its busy
and its busy all year round
you wont gain admission
without a ticket. (Closed
Mondays; Tues-Sun
10am-5pm, 8 entry,
1 Place Royale, musee-
magritte-museum.be)
Walking down from the
Place Royale, youll come
face-to-face with
the Museum of Musical
Instruments (aka the Old
England Building), which,
with its girded steel and
glass faade, is a sight for
Neo-Classical and Art
Nouveau eyes. Inside youll
nd 7,000-plus
instruments, while up on to
its top oor caf, stay for a
coee and a spectacular
view of the city. (Closed

SLEEP AT
A short walk from the
busy city centre, Hotel Le
Plaza, on Boulevard
Adolphe Max, is one of the
older, grander hotels in
Brussels, designed by
Michel Polak, who used the
George V Hotel in Paris as
his inspiration. Double
rooms from 130 and free
Wi-Fi in all areas (including
bedrooms), make this one a
practical and quality choice.
(leplaza-brussels.be)
If you have a few more
euro to spend and want to
be in the thick of it,
then Hotel Amigo, on Rue
de lAmigo, is perfect.
Situated less than a stones
throw from the Grand
Place, prepare yourself for
a good helping of ve-star
attitude here. Factor in a
serious collection of
artwork that references
the citys famed artists,
Rene Magritte and Herg
(creator of Tintin), and
interior design by the
award-winning Olga Polizzi,
and you have a smart
looking place that oozes
quality. Doubles from
230. (hotelamigo.com)
Another gorgeous hotel a
few minutes walk from the
Grand Place, and right
behind the theatre La
Monnaie, is The
Dominican, on Rue
Lopold, a stylish
establishment (in a
converted convent, no less)
created by the award-
winning architects FG Stijl.
The rooms are quite
reasonable (from 125) and
boast free internet access,
fab bathrooms, and yes,
thank you, God! a
Nespresso machine.
(thedominican.be)
If youre looking to mix
business, pleasure, touristy
things and Michelin-starred
dining, then the ve-
star Radisson Blu
Royal Hotel, on Rue
du Foss-aux-Loups, is
a wise choice. Note the Art
Deco faade, but if that
doesnt get you then the
Sea Grill restaurant and
the hotels close proximity
to a plethora of city-centre
eateries most certainly will.
Rooms from a very
reasonable 111, all with
free Wi-Fi. (radissonblu.
com/royalhotel-brussels)
EAT AND DRINK AT ...
For an altogether quality
and glamorous eating
experience, pay a visit
to Belga Queen, which is
housed within one of the
most decorative belle
poque dining rooms
(designed by Antoine Pinto)
youll ever have the
pleasure of sitting in. The
menu is sh-oriented, but
also comes with interesting
meat/poultry dishes such
as cuckoo. Expensive? Yes,
but what do you expect
from a classy restaurant
located in a former bank?
(Rue du Foss-aux-Loups
32, belgaqueen.be)
Close by the Belga
Queen is A La Mort
Subite. This bar is a rarity
a Brussels institution that
isnt too touristy. Its a
great place to while away
an hour or two, oering
distinct atmosphere and
more Belgian beers than
youll ever have time for
during a long weekend.
(Rue Montagne-aux-
Herbes Potagres,
alamortsubite.com)
For somewhere central
but just o the beaten
track, make your way to Bij
den Boer, a sh restaurant
with an antique dcor that
seems as if it could have
been around since the
Boer War. (Quai aux
Briques 60, bijdenboer.com)
For somewhere just as
distinctive, try Soul, an
organic fusion restaurant
close to the Place du
Sablon. Using food sourced
as much as possible from
organic farms, Souls
kitchen is free of butter
and cream, its freshly
prepared food free of
additives, preservatives
and white sugar. In a word?
Delicious. (Rue de la
Samaritaine, soulresto.com)
Also close to the Place
du Sablon is one of the
citys oldest bars La Fleur
en Papier Dor. Once
frequented by surrealists
Rene Magritte and Paul
Rouge, this traditional
place oozes history and art.
Denitely worth a quick
detour. (53 Rue des
Alexiens, 0032 2511 1659,
laeurenpapierdore.be)

Safety brief
We would like to bring your attention to the following safety and security measures:
Please pay attention to any
instructions given to you by the
cabin crew.
Any behaviour towards a fellow
passenger or cabin crew that
is deemed to be threatening or
abusive (including the use of
oensive language) is a serious
matter.
As our priority is the safety of
all passengers, it is important
not to interrupt the cabin
crew while they carry out their
duties, and not to interfere with
aircraft equipment.
As a service to passengers,
alcohol is served in the airport
lounges and on board. In the
interests of safety, Aer Lingus
may refuse to allow you board
if it is thought too much alcohol
has been consumed. While
the majority of passengers
are responsible, there have
occasionally been incidents
where intoxicated passengers
have caused serious safety
hazards. Passengers are
reminded also that during the
ight you may not consume
any alcohol brought onto the
aircraft by you or any other
passenger. The consumption
inight of Duty Free alcohol
purchased from the Sky
Shopping service is also
prohibited. This measure is,
again, necessary in the interests
of ight safety.
If incidents of this kind occur
during a ight, the cabin crew
is obliged to contact police on
arrival at your nal destination.
The Aircraft Captain may also
divert the ight enroute in
order to remove disruptive
passengers. Should this
happen, Aer Lingus will not
be responsible for getting
you home, your ticket money
will not be refunded, and in
addition to the authorities
awaiting you on landing you
could be heavily ned and/or
be liable to a prison sentence.
In many cases, other airlines
may subsequently refuse to
allow you to y with them.
We emphasise that while on
board the aircraft our priority
is your safety. As always, we
wish you a safe and enjoyable
ight, as well as a safe onward
journey.
Suggestions and light exercises to enhance your comfort and well-being during your ight:
Wear loose-tting clothes on board to
allow your skin to breathe, and apply a
good moisturiser throughout.
Stretch your legs as much as possible
by taking a stroll through the cabin.
Circle your ankles clockwise and anti-
clockwise. Bend and straighten your
ankles in a brisk manner with the knee
straight.
Trace the letters of the alphabet with
your foot by moving your ankles.
Exercising your feet and legs
periodically helps to reduce any
possible eects of long-duration travel.
Avoid sitting or sleeping in the same
position for too long and gently stretch
muscles to improve your circulation.
And remember to move your neck
and shoulders during long ights to
prevent stiness.
We wish you an enjoyable experience.
Reducing the eects
of jet-lag
To help reduce the eects of travelling
and jet-lag before, during and after
your ight, we have introduced
an audio programme (available on
Channel 6), which will play every other
hour, oering 60 minutes of soothing
and relaxing audio environments. The
programme is designed to enhance
your physical and mental wellbeing
during the ight.
Apart from tuning in to the inflight
relaxation programme, here are
some other simple things that you
can do to prepare for your journey.
Ideally, avoid heavy food, alcohol,
tea or coee the day before you
travel.
When you arrive at your
destination, try to adjust your
activities gradually to the new
time zone.
Mild exercise on arrival will also
help to stimulate your circulation.
Carry-on baggage
Carry-on baggage on Aer Lingus services is restricted
to one piece per person, as well as to the weights and
measurements, illustrated below.
Aer Lingus is pleased to bring you some suggestions and light exercises to
enhance your comfort and wellbeing during your ight:
Additional small items, such as cameras, personal stereos,
overcoats and handbags are allowed on board. EU security
rules regarding liquids, gels and aerosols in cabin baggage
apply. Flights departing the USA are subject to TSA
security rules. Passengers in Row 1, or at an emergency
exit, MUST store baggage in an overhead bin.
