| Vivian O'Gorman | Jun 26 2012, 10:59pm | Hi Folks, Need a few more volunteers for Lug: A Summit Marshall Lap Top Operator First Aid Person Also don't forget the kit requirement: Longsleeved rainproof running top Hat and Gloves Bumbag with chocolate/biscuits Your own water Map - Compass - Whistle Give yourselves plenty of time to enter and get to the start. It will take at least 10/15 minutes to get there. There will be NO enties after 12.30pm Take ALL your rubbish home with you - gel wrappers etc Early Starters can go from 12.30 but please let me know before you go. Race registration will open at 10.30 outside Fentons. |
| Mick Hanney | Jun 27 2012, 9:42pm | Vivian, I'll summit marshall for you. Regards, Mick |
| Ercus Stewart | Jun 28 2012, 6:29am | Vivian, well done last eve. lucky stayed dry! as mentioned, i will be volunteer / runner. Ercus estewart - at - lawlibrary.ie |
| Amidou dembele | Jun 28 2012, 7:57pm | Hi, I would like to run Lug na coille on saterday. Anyone driving from dublin to give me a lift? Many thanks in advance, Amidou |
| Ken Cowley | Jun 29 2012, 9:23am | Hi Amidou, I'm driving to the race from Fairview. The race is at 1pm, but I might do the early start at 12.30, so want to be there for 12ish, therefore leaving Fairview at 11.4. Driving through the city centre, down the quays and out to M50. Where do you live? Anyone else need a lift? Ken 085 7129060 kencowley@ireland.com |
| Jeff Fitzsimons | Jun 29 2012, 2:08pm | Amidou, I'll be leaving Rathfarnham around 11, if that suits you any better. I will not be driving back after the race, but you should get a lift home no worries. Or the alternative is to run back to Glendalough with me and a few others after the race and get a lift back from me then! So you have a decision to make, Amidou. We'll know who is your favourite based on it! If that suits anyone else let me know. Jeff |
| Amidou dembele | Jun 29 2012, 6:11pm | Thanks Ken, Jeff, Ken, I'll go with Jeff then as I also live in Rathfarnham. Jeff, let say I made my decision based on efficiency:),my mobile is 0870542042, please text me where I can meet you. See you all tomorrow! Amidou |
| Jeff Fitzsimons | Jun 29 2012, 6:23pm | Dropped you a text, Amidou. Given the speed of Amidou and the fact I am practically guaranteeing myself a place lower by facilitating his racing do I get a spot prize or volunteer role against my name? :) |
| Ronan Hickey | Jun 30 2012, 5:49pm | Great race guys! Boggy but brilliant. Much thanks as always to Vivian and all his volunteers, especially for the far marshal Rachel holding a tough spot in that mist and rain! Ro |
| Ercus Stewart | Jun 30 2012, 7:25pm | hi, agreed, well done Vivian. a good race again. Ercus |
| Brian Furey | Jun 30 2012, 8:03pm | Hi, thanks to Vivian and the guys for putting on a great race.Special mentions goes to Rachael on the summit taking numbers, Mick Hanney on Camara Hill. John Shiels was there on the summit as well. Fast descent even in the wet. Name might have changed to Log na Coille but its still the same race :) Cheers, Brian |
| Ken Cowley | Jun 30 2012, 8:39pm | Amazing race, very well organised and with the usual relaxed 'IMRA at the weekend' atmosphere. I recce'd it about 6 weeks ago, when it was very dry, was a different beast today after such a wet June, very sloshy and boggy in places, but no less fun for that! Roll on Mount Leinster! |
| Jeff Fitzsimons | Jun 30 2012, 8:47pm | Great fun today, the muck and sh1te only added to the occasion. As ever, IMRA deliver the best value and fun racing in the country. |
| John Shiels | Jun 30 2012, 8:52pm | Ha, I was at the summit before you Brian because I started at 12.30! Still got some photos of most of the people in the race which I'll upload now J |
| David Bell | Jun 30 2012, 8:57pm | Thanks from all at Mourne Runners for a great race, especially the marshals on the summits in the mist and drizzle - definitely well worth the trip from Co Down. Hopefully the hen party in Fentons is going well! |
| Mick Hanney | Jun 30 2012, 9:14pm | 1st 2 descenders. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PscKtvZ-E80&feature=channel&list=UL |

| John Ahern | Jun 30 2012, 11:21pm | I particularly like the kisses that now seem to be available for the winner. This could be the motivation I need to get me on the podium soon. Will the girls be back for future races?? |
| Vivian O'Gorman | Jul 6 2012, 5:27pm | Summit Positions now up under race report. There are two runners missing from list: Brian Wilson race number 1195 Derek Livingston race number 125 Will put them in if they know who was in front or behind them - for a price!!
