SEE CLARE C RUN

Stazza’s Angel Clare “Super Cuts” Coleman chopped an incredible 10’31” off her half-marathon PB in Charleville this past weekend, styling out an excellent 1:34:14. Hot off her recent win at the Tralee 10K, Coleman completed this course as 13^th female and 99^th overall—tough competition. 

Looking all windswept and interesting at the start of the race, Coleman found it “quite warm” before she worked up a sweat and let the howling winds cool her as she ran. 

Waiting for Coleman at the finish for an interview, “Vidally Sassoon” Smith beckoned her over:

Vidally: Hi, Clare. Do you have a few moments to let me know how the race went?

Clare: I’m done in! Tell you what, come by the salon later, and I’ll sort that mop of hair out. Just bring chocolate!

Vidally: Sounds good to me.

Later that day:

Clare: Come in, Ally, sit yourself down. What did you bring me?

Vidally: Plenty—two 1kg bars of Dairy Milk and three 500g bars of Galaxy. I wasn’t sure which you preferred.

Clare: I’m not fussy in the slightest. It’s all great, thanks.

Vidally: Great. This won’t be typical hairdresser “holiday” chit chat—get chopping and talking.

Clare: No worries, ha-ha! First off, I’m thrilled to bits with my 10-and-a-half-minute PB. Especially in that wind.

Vidally: Holy moly, missus; over 10 minutes in gale force winds is unreal! Plenty of brave souls still came out for support, though.

Clare: Yeah, they sure did. It really is great to be back racing again and having people out cheering you on along the way, especially in those conditions. I really enjoyed the race and felt I paced myself well—and I much prefer a half to a 10K any day. 

Vidally: Well, you definitely did that. Thanks for the trim; how much do I owe you?

Clare: Shur just tell Coach Stazza to take 50 euro off my renewal, and we’ll be grand.

Vidally: That suits me! I’ll let him know … eventually. 🙄 Cheers, Clare.

The Stable News got a hold of Coach Stazza, caught staring wistfully into a mirror: “I remember when I had hair … Luscious locks that bounced beautifully when I ran. Young Coleman would have had a rare time styling me. But never mind the past. The future is bright for you, my girl—loads more to come off your PB on a calmer day. Let’s hope the Tralee half is blessed with calm conditions and another stormer of a PB from you.”

As Coach rightly said, Coleman will be back in action very soon at the Tralee Half-Marathon on October 24.
