| Eoghan O'Donnell | Feb 13 2012, 1:01pm | Any one need a lift from Greystones Bray, ive two seats available... |
| Niamh O Ceallaigh | Feb 13 2012, 1:53pm | INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPETITORS: REGISTRATION: Will take place at the race start in Trooperstown and will be open from 09.45 - 10.45am. Try to have exact change ready - 7Euro for race entry plus 10Euro for annual IMRA membership if you have not joined for 2012 yet. CARPOOLING: We request that all cars coming from Dublin direction would call by The Coach House in Roundwood to carpool from there as parking is limited at the race start. There is lots of parking along the road before the pub. Even better - carpool from Dublin or Kilmacanogue. JUNIORS: Please check in with Race Director at registration to get your hi-viz bib and race briefing. SAFETY: Please note that a section of this race is on public roads. Please keep to the sides and be cautious. PRIZEGIVING: The Coach House Pub in Roundwood after the race. |
| Eoghan O'Donnell | Feb 14 2012, 8:19pm | Hey, could the person who has booked a seat from my car pool mail me at swizzoe@gmail.com, IMRA automatic mails don't seem to be working. Eoghan. ;-) |
| Colum McKeown | Feb 15 2012, 4:03pm | Hi, Is there anyone,who is planning to be at the race before 9.30am,have a free space in their car? I live in the Ranelagh/Donnybrook area but can get to wherever is convenient. Cheers Colum ctmckeown@gmail.com |
| Alan Ayling | Feb 15 2012, 5:57pm | "Ensure that every runner signs in legibly" Wishful thinking IMRA-style. |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 15 2012, 8:13pm | A small lesson from previous races.. ensure everyone takes the right no. And, that everyone has their name (at least) written on the back of the no. as this helps with quick validation of same. |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 16 2012, 8:18pm | Is this event cancelled if no 1st aider doesn't come forward? |
| Margarete Clark | Feb 17 2012, 1:36pm | Hi Joan, if you're driving on Sunday, could I have a lift with you from Bray? ph 086 0842610, email mdclark@eircom.net |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Feb 17 2012, 2:59pm | It is disappointing to note that nobody has signed up for First Aid for Trooperstown yet. The race will go ahead as Jimmy Synnott has agreed yet again to fill the role if nobody else signs up. So, if anybody else is willing to do the task, please sign up! |
| Eoghan O'Donnell | Feb 17 2012, 4:40pm | Still trying to find out the person who has booked a place in my carpool! Can you mail me with details please!!! swizzoe@gmail.com 0868660520. Eoghan |
| Dave Kelly | Feb 17 2012, 7:19pm | Hi, I will be travelling from Skerries/Lusk (leaving at 9am) for this race if anyone wants a lift. Text/call me on oh87 6four7 68one9. Dave |
| Tony Lyons | Feb 18 2012, 8:34am | Hi, if you are still stuck for first aid I can do it if needed tomorrow. Thanks, Tony. |
| Ken Cowley | Feb 18 2012, 11:06am | Hi Niamh - would you like one more non-running volunteer? Ken Cowley (085 7129060) |
| Niamh O Ceallaigh | Feb 18 2012, 8:07pm | Tony, It would be great if you could do first aid. Ken, I could do with a marshal on top of Trooperstown where the juniors are turning. Thanks, NIamh |
| Ken Cowley | Feb 18 2012, 9:58pm | That's grand niamh -see you in the morning |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 19 2012, 3:24pm | Thanks RD Niamh for a well run event this morning. Thanks Richie for help with the laptop. Not easy when its so cold. A few people didn't sign in and a few people signed in with eligible numbers or using other people's numbers. This leads to some headaches reconciling results. Results will be up as soon as possible. Congrats to race winner Alan Kelly who took his usual wrong turn but copped it this time :-). Karen O'Hanlon was the ladies winner. Well done. |
| Margarete Clark | Feb 19 2012, 3:49pm | Hi Niamh, would you still be able to put me down as a helper for today's race (sorting numbers)? I probably won't be able to make the next few races as I'm working weekends next month, but I'll sign up again for sorting numbers as soon as possible. Thanks for organising today, your daughter must be very patient! All the best. Margarete |
| Ken Cowley | Feb 19 2012, 8:17pm | I was junior marshall at Trooperstown cairn/summit today, and once those not-too-onerous duties were done, I took a bunch of photos of the main field of runners coming down Trooperstown. It was only on my iPhone, but some of them are not bad. Can I upload them to the site, does anyone know, and if so, is it easy to do? |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 19 2012, 8:21pm | Ken, you'll need to put them into a zip file, but the upload is touch and go sometimes. If you've lots of photos see if you can reduce their size and break them into a few zip files. |
| John Shiels | Feb 19 2012, 8:50pm | having problems with photo uploads this evening, keeps crashing anyone have any ideas? John |
| Archie O'Donnell | Feb 20 2012, 8:56am | Excellent race yesterday, loved the section through the forest and only slipped once. Well done to organisers and marshalls. Can you check my result again as I reckon I finished in around 30th place, I hope I didn't put on the wrong number. Cheers |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 20 2012, 9:56am | Archie - I'll check the results sheet this evening with a view to correcting that. |
| Dave Kelly | Feb 20 2012, 10:46am | Hi Mick, Would you be able to check my result as well. My race no is 129 and my results normally come up under David Kelly70. My result for yesterday seems to have been ascribed to a namesake of mine in error. Thanks. Dave. |
| Peter Bell | Feb 20 2012, 10:47am | I seem to be registered as a new runner. All my old results are not under my name anymore. Can I get it fixed, if not its fine. Thanks Peter. |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 20 2012, 10:49am | Dave, Peter. Will do. We'd a teething problem with some registrations that we are aware of and will seek to resolve. Thanks. |
| Dave Kelly | Feb 20 2012, 10:57am | Thanks Mick. |
| Ken Cowley | Feb 20 2012, 12:19pm | Hi Mick - if you're reading, I've put my photos from yesterday in to a zip file as you suggested - feel free to give me further instructions how to upload them, but if it's tricky technically, I should point out my IT skills are even more mediocre than my hillrunning.. If you like, you can email me privately at kencowley at ireland dot com |
| Peter Bell | Feb 20 2012, 1:38pm | Thanks mick |
| Ken Barry | Feb 20 2012, 1:43pm | Thanks to all organisers and helpers for a really enjoyable run yesterday. If someone is double-checking the results/names, please note that 408 is Ken Barry68 and not Ken Barry as posted (there are two of us !). Mick, as mentioned yesterday, if you get time later in the week, could you or someone else set me up on myimra. My mobile no is 0eight6 two733six44. Thanks ! |
| John Bell | Feb 20 2012, 2:03pm | It was a really enjoyable run yesterday - first one of the season and I feel it in my legs today! I see that my result is incorrect. I think I finished in around 54 minutes just ahead of Justin Rea (471 looking at the photos)who's result is also missing, If you could check? Thanks |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 20 2012, 10:57pm | Archie, You used a wrong no. (Justin's) which confused us no end. Time should be adjusted tomorrow. Cheers. Mick |
| Alison Warde | Feb 21 2012, 10:40am | Thanks to all the organisers for a really enjoyable race. My result is also missing. I re-registered for 2012 on the morning - could be down to my dodgy handwriting! Think I came in around 65 mins, number 620. Would be great if someone could double check this one as well? Thanks |
| Mick Hanney | Feb 21 2012, 6:02pm | Thanks for letting us know Alison. I see you on the results sheet so I'll get that updated. |
| Alison Warde | Feb 22 2012, 9:39am | Thanks a mill Mick |
| Dave Kelly | Feb 23 2012, 8:37pm | @ Mick Hanney, Hi Mick, I see you have changed my result to David Kelly70 as per my message above. Thanks a million for doing this (I presume it was you). Just to let you know, there now seems to be 2 David Kelly70 names. One has the result from Trooperstown and one has my results from the other winter league races. I'm actually not bothered - I just want to avoid any confusion in future. I am happy just to leave it as is if it's any problem. Just wanted to let you know in case it is messing up the IMRA database in some other. |
| Sarah Ni Ruairc | Feb 27 2012, 11:30pm | Hello All, Like many IMRA members I'm a bit of a nerd and I own a Garmin Forerunner. I GPSed the Trooperstown races in July and the last one on the 19th February. Details here: July 2011:http://connect.garmin.com/activity/97737237 February 2012: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/153281589 You can see the difference between the two, particularly where we all got lost. Sarah |
| CaitlÃn Bent | Feb 28 2012, 10:08am | Thanks for that Sarah. Not all of us went wrong:) |
