| Leo Mahon | Aug 15 2021, 6:07pm | Log Na Coille will open for entries tomorrow 16/08/2021 at 1800. I’m a little short on volunteers some of the important roles still vacant please if you can volunteer |
| Leo Mahon | Aug 18 2021, 8:49am | Thanks to all for volunteering I think we have enough for this Saturday I’m still hoping a laptop operator and first aider will come on board The weather forecast is not good so please bring rain gear |
| Warren Swords | Aug 21 2021, 4:55pm | Thanks to Leo and team for a great race today. Especially the summit marshal, hopefully she got down before the biblical rain. Really enjoyable race, lots of slop for a fun descent. Weather was pretty good for lug. Obviously no view at top but got a decent weather window for race. Shower on way down was lovely. Very fast at front, 51 mins for the winner! |
| Mick Hanney | Aug 21 2021, 5:28pm | Echo that. Thanks Leo and team, particularly Alan and Hannah for the marking, which made it a lot easier for those unfamiliar with the route. Fair play to Hannah for summit marshalling; Lug in heavy showers is singularly exposed to the weather. Hope you stayed warm and dry. Route offers a bit of everything and today with the extra wet and slop it was all the more fun on the downhill. The uphill, not so much :-( |
| James H Cahill | Aug 21 2021, 9:08pm | Thank you Leo and all the volunteers for today. Especially those risking hypothermia atop Lug or marking (AKA Hannah and Alan). Great day out. Thank you all |
| Conor Nolan | Aug 21 2021, 10:17pm | Thanks to Leo and the race team - especially the "outfield' players - for today's race. As it was my first go at this event I was very thankful for the marking off the summit! Looking forward to next year's already - especially if it's dry. Thanks again. |
| Mick Hanney | Aug 22 2021, 9:41pm | Wow, fab winning time by James, one of the fastest Lug times on listed History. Double wow, Isobel was first woman home in a time that appears to have broken all records on Lug? Great running guys. It was great to see such a well attended, and fast-paced race, ahead of the rest of us :-) |
| Leo Mahon | Aug 23 2021, 8:03am | It was indeed great running by James and Isobel if the weather conditions were better we could have seen both records go not withstanding Isobel’s fantastic win i In the Seven Sisters still in her legs IMRA history makes great reading Gerry Brady’s report on Lugnacoille 2004 especially the last sentence |
| Mick Hanney | Aug 23 2021, 10:11am | Thanks for pointing out the 2004 event Leo. The History feature on IMRA events doesn't seem to show events in the distant past. Beth McCluskey's time of 1:00:12 that year has stood the test of time. And John Lenihan and John Brooks both under 50 mins ! |
| Warren Swords | Aug 23 2021, 10:40am | Seriously impressive time by James Kevan given the ground conditions. 2004 Race report that Leo mentioned. https://www.imra.ie/events/report/id/240/#38 Five runners under 51 minutes, 11 under 55 minutes that year |
| Barry McEvoy | Aug 23 2021, 12:35pm | That race is unbelievable. What a standard. Something to aim for big time going into winter training. Maybe next year we can close the gap!! |
| Gavan Doherty | Aug 23 2021, 4:39pm | Thanks Leo & crew for holding the bad weather off & putting on a great race. A few photos added. One of the last few races that hasn't had to change route in the last 30+ years, gives a solid marker of progress (or degeneration!). |
| Roelie Smit | Aug 23 2021, 6:57pm | I have a brown long sleeve top that was left hanging on a bush after the race if anyone wants to claim it. |
