| Ian Conroy | Jul 12 2011, 4:28pm | Anyone fancy doing a recce of this race? |
| Rene Borg | Jul 12 2011, 4:39pm | I may be on for it Ian, have been wanting to go back there ever since racing it in 07. Let me know what days/dates you had in mind. |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 12 2011, 4:54pm | Clarity on the route map would be good before you recce. The route last year varied from that previously because of construction work being done on the trail down near the N11 before the single track turns steeply uphill. If such work is complete I assume we can go back to the old route, which was a bit more fun? And no need to do a 2nd lap as some people did in that race :-) |
| Patrick Murray | Jul 19 2011, 11:34am | Hi, just wondering if it would be possible to join IMRA on the evening of the Glen of the Downs run (3rd of August)? |

| Dallas Baird | Jul 30 2011, 11:41am | Hi Vivian, I am happy to volunteer if you still need anyone. No laptop training, but I am qualified to stick on plasters and am equally good at standing on summits and pointing. Is it possible to get an invite to MyIMRA? dallas dot baird at the gmail, mobile zero 87 seven 32 two 839 Cheers |
| Ger Power | Jul 30 2011, 1:46pm | Is anyone who could give me a lift passing either Blackrock or Cabinteely. Thanks |
| Paul O'Grady | Jul 30 2011, 2:33pm | Hi Ger - I'm coming from Stradbrook road if that's of any use to you - I cam pick you up along the way. Paul (I see simple maths has been replaced by trivial pursuit geography in order to post!!) |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 31 2011, 10:52pm | Hi, If we are running the route from last year I can supply an updated map for the events page. Regards, Mick |
| Dermot Murphy | Aug 1 2011, 7:53pm | I'll be marking the route on Wednesday - I will mark the same course that was used last year, as the feedback I got at the time was that it was a slightly better course. The amended route goes from the junction at I back to junction C and the follows the route back to the finish. This route is about 500 meters longer (anyone have a measurement from last year?) |
| Mick Hanney | Aug 1 2011, 9:24pm | My route from last year was 8.2k, 262m climb |
| Brendan Lawlor | Aug 2 2011, 10:10am | Vivian, will there be a junior course? |
| Ger Power | Aug 2 2011, 11:05am | Paul That would be great where do you want to meet and at what time my mobile is 0877957146 Thanks |
| Dermot Murphy | Aug 2 2011, 3:58pm | Brendan, it may be difficult to have a junior course due to the narrow track. I intend to mark the route and stay at junction D as a marshal, and demark the course when all the runners are through. This could also be the junior turn around point. The narrow track might cause problems if the juniors are running back against the main field. I would suggest that maybe the juniors could start 5 minutes after the main field so this problem is kept to a minimum. How does this sound? |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Aug 2 2011, 5:16pm | Brendan - Dermots suggestion sounds good. It means the juniors won't get run over and will have a clear run. Thanks to all volunteers for tomorrow night. If you could be at start for as close to 6 as possible - particularly those that are running. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Aug 2 2011, 5:27pm | Dermot and Vivian Thats a good suggestion - see you there! |
| Marcella Crampton | Aug 3 2011, 9:10am | Could some provide directions to the race tonight, i.e. what exit should I take on the N11. I'm coming from the Leixlip direction. Thanks |
| Donal Troddyn | Aug 3 2011, 10:55am | Marcella, heading South, you take the exit marked for the Glenview hotel. It's not very well sign posted but it's the exit a couple of hundred metres after a garden centre. Immediately after you turn off the dual carriageway, turn right onto a cul de sac for parking. There are some houses at the end of this road, so we'll have to be careful about leaving access. |
| Marcella Crampton | Aug 3 2011, 12:21pm | Thanks Donal for directions. |
| Michelle Rowley | Aug 3 2011, 1:03pm | I can pick up two around Pearse Street at about 5.30ish. Text on: zero 86 three 7172zero6. Michelle |
| Joan Stapleton | Aug 3 2011, 2:14pm | Hi, if anyone needs a lift I'll be leaving from Suir Road Luas @ 6pm. You may text me at oh87 99thirtyfour28zero, Joan |
| Paul O'Grady | Aug 3 2011, 11:00pm | Thanks to Vivian and his team for a great race tonight. You've got to love the variety you get with an IMRA race! Congratulations to John Ahern on joining the Club 100 tonight! |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Aug 3 2011, 11:12pm | Thank you to everybody for tonight. Despite the rain you all seemed to enjoy the race. A big thanks to race marker Dermot Murphy for a very well marked course - lap top professional Kevin O'Riordan for doing the results and having them on line so quickly - Daniel McMorrough for first aid and to all the other volunteers who helped me out. Next week Devils Glen. |
| Brendan Lawlor | Aug 4 2011, 9:43am | Dan Lawlor was first in the Junior race (not Jack) - could you amend at some stage to avoid war in our house ! Great event last night, thanks to Vivian and all helpers |
