It's 6:30am and I'm standing in an empty carpark on what feels like Galway's first attempt at an Autumn/Winter morning.

Conor himself felt as though he needed another couple of weeks on the diet to bring his best package to the table. Despite this he still placed 4th in a very tough class and knows more about his body and diet system should he return to stage down the line.
