| Steve Young | Apr 27 2024, 6:16pm | Hi Tom, what time for volunteers tomorrow? Thks |
| Michael McSweeney | Apr 27 2024, 6:30pm | Hi Brian, Early start will be at 1030. Juts make it known at sign in that you are availing of the Early start. Early start is not competitive category for those who expect to be greater than 175% of the finishing time, and you will be placed on the results after all of the regular starters, no matter what time you record. Steve, Tom is up the mountain, but if you are there at 10am you should be grand. See you all in the morning. Micheal. |
| Tom Farley | Apr 27 2024, 8:22pm | Thanks Mícheál, and thanks Steve. 10am for all volunteers please. See you in the morning. |
| Robbie Williams | Apr 28 2024, 4:31pm | Absolutely Fanta race today at Gougane Barra. Big thanks to Tom Farley and his crew. The course was amazing, great company running and chats before and afterwards. Long live IMRA |
| Dáithí de Mórdha | Apr 28 2024, 6:53pm | Míle Buíochas Tom, Anthony & crew for the best race of the year so far. Brilliant course, brilliantly marked and beautiful weather, sure what else would you need! And I did what you suggest Tom- left plenty Gaeilge out on the course, mostly in the form of ag focáil agus ag blashtáil at bogholes and out sticking rocks! |
| Brian Mullins | Apr 28 2024, 6:58pm | Thanks to Tom and all the volunteers today. The crossing of the Lee as a fully fledged river just before the finish after having crossed it earlier high up on the mountain via slop, muck, loam, pestilence, misery and bottomless peat was a nice touch and saved us all from a shower afterwards. That was probably the driest I’ve ever seen Gougane which is hard to believe after the winter of rain we had. I do feel shortchanged though as there was no fog, not enough bog and Robbie hid the Fanta!!! Congrats to the winners. An lá a bhí ann ar gach aon slí agus beimid ag súil leis an iarracht chéanna an bhliain seo chugainn gan amhras. |
| Cathal Prior | Apr 28 2024, 10:51pm | Many thanks to Tom and all the volunteers that helped out today. A challenging course in places, and the last water 'obstacle' brought a very memorable and fun element to the finish. To the runners out there this morning, thank you for the good spirit and friendliness that makes these races a pleasure to take part in. |
