| Lindie Naughton | Aug 1 2011, 4:43pm | Folks - no panic yet, but we're gonna need the following: 1. Lap top operator (and helper if poss) 2. First aider 3. Two/three course marshalls Early application secures the job! PS: Thanks Vivian for volunteering to mark the course. |
| Lindie Naughton | Aug 4 2011, 12:01pm | Junior race will take in the smaller circuit used at the Djouce H'cap down the years about 4km). |
| Brendan Delaney | Aug 14 2011, 1:49pm | Lindie, I can help with marshalling. Brendan |
| Lindie Naughton | Aug 15 2011, 2:51pm | Thanks all for volunteering to help. Four of us ran the course on Saturday; it's about 7.7km (Garmin) long, thanks to the short cuts on the zig-zag part. A few branches need lopping and it's a bit wet here and there, but otherwise good for fast times. The junior course will keep straight when the main race turns right, head for the ex-lake, then rejoin the senior course with a sharp left turn on to the steep uphill there. It's long for youngsters (4-5km?), but fast once you get over that uphill. Plus great views of the waterfall. PS One question - do I need to talk to the Coilte man re the barrier? |
| Lindie Naughton | Aug 15 2011, 2:56pm | Glencormac Inn confirmed for prizegiving. |

| Dermot Murphy | Aug 17 2011, 11:07pm | Many thanks to Lindie and helpers for organising a very enjoyable race this evening - it was a beautiful evening for it! |
| Mick Hanney | Aug 17 2011, 11:15pm | +1 all. Thanks. Nice one John Ahern. Podium spot! |
| Lindie Naughton | Aug 18 2011, 12:57pm | Thanks to everyone who helped out last night in perfect conditions for running - course marker Vivian, lap top operators John and Sarah, marshals Henny, Padraig, Brendan D, start/finish team Aoife, Gerry, Derek, Dave, Tim (also first aid), Kieran, and possibly one or two I'm missing. Also to the Glencormac Inn for its hospitality and to Tim O'Regan of Coillte. So do we revive the Djouce Handicap over the same route? If so, any thoughts on dates? |
| Paul O'Grady | Aug 18 2011, 2:18pm | Thanks to Lindie and the team for last night - good fast race and a great evening for it. What would be interesting would be to run the route in reverse the following wednesday and see if the times would be any different!! |
| BrÃan O'Meara | Aug 18 2011, 3:51pm | Is this the earls drive race from a couple of years ago? |
| Lindie Naughton | Aug 18 2011, 6:08pm | Yes - Tim and Suzanne Wallis (Djouce Djoggers) organised it for 10 years, handed it over to Crusaders for 15 years (me as RD most of the time), then another club agreed to take over in 2009, except the race didn't happen when snow intervened. Dermot suggests a date in November; might have to be a Saturday since our friends in the Glencormac Inn have (or had...?) a decent Sunday lunch trade. |
| laura flynn | Aug 20 2011, 12:38pm | Thanks to Lindie and her team for organising a really enjoyable race on Wed night-it's a great course with lots of fast running on it...though it's the only race I've done where I was willing the downhill to end! |
| Lindie Naughton | Aug 24 2011, 7:06pm | Have spent today updating fixtures and at the moment December 17 is free if we wanted to revive the h'cap. Of course, that will prob change! |
| Claire McEntee | Aug 25 2011, 4:51pm | Thanks a million for a great race, really well marshalled, great craic, fabulous location and a thouroughly enjoyable 3 weeks of races, not sure I can go back to road running after that :) |
