Unfortunately I forgot to return my number (my fault, deep apologies, no 854 Marcos Sanchez), I will either return it personally on Wednesday at the Sugar Loaf BBQ or through some workmates which are IMRA regulars (Aidan?). Apologies again and great job to all marshalls and people involved in the event. |

| Richard Nunan | Jul 16 2012, 8:36pm | *************************** Further Race Information ************************ Route ------- This is a pretty long technical 6km. It is wet, very rocky, there are boulders and multiple single track paths where you will not be able to over take. Especially the last 1 km of the descent. The growth is not too bad (ran it tonight)but muddy. We will be going with the same route as last year. So you will be ascending on the right and keeping on your right descending from the peak. We will have 4 marshals on the course. Race start at GAA and Finish under the Barrier. Volunteers ----------- We have more than enough Volunteers for tomorrow night (37) - Volunteers should show up at 6:00pm at the Glencormac Inn. Justin OKeeffe Conor OMeara Eva Fairnmaner Rosie Monaghan Ger Lawlor Nicola Neve Rozanne Bell Quentin Crowley Dermot Murphy Fergal Daly Berndt Heim Cathal Kearney Paula Keohane Shay Foody Orla Crosse Niamh Hartnet All others will be assigned roles on the night. Transport ----------- The Race is served by Dublin Transport There is a bus, number 84X, leaving Eden Quay at 17:30 that will get you to the event on time. http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/84x/ Note that there are two 84X's leaving at the same time - it is the one heading for Newtownmountkennedy that you need to get.

Registration ------------- Closes at 7:15 SHARP End of League Prize will be given out adjacent to registration NO EARLY STARTS ----------------- |
| Fiona Sheerin | Jul 16 2012, 9:10pm | Mick I will help with the laptop if you still need someone |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 16 2012, 9:18pm | Hi Fiona, I think the Race Director has enough volunteers already, its a matter of one of them sticking their hand up. Another time perhaps. I think a laptop training course should be on the cards for next year so keep an eye out. regards, Mick |
| Angus Tyner | Jul 16 2012, 10:09pm | Mick, I was going to volunteer to marshal, but with a guiding hand will gladly do Laptop. |
| Fiona Sheerin | Jul 16 2012, 10:48pm | Hi mick If you read the list of volunteers you will see that i am on it and have been for the last 6 weeks! |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 16 2012, 11:09pm | Sorry, didn't see you on the list. See you both at registration so. Regards, Mick |
| Jason Melvin | Jul 17 2012, 10:10am | Hi, Jsut wondering would we be ok getting the 145 which runs fairly regularly along the N11 to Kilmacanogue? http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/145/ |
| Stuart Scott | Jul 17 2012, 10:16am | Hi Jason, I've got the 145 before and it's grand but allow a good bit of extra time because it brings you on a tour of Bray. I'd recommend getting the 84X out and then enjoy the scenic 145 route on the way home! |
| Kevin O'Riordan | Jul 17 2012, 10:18am | Also stops at every lampost along the N11. |
| jason melvin | Jul 17 2012, 10:26am | Cool. Cheers for the advice. |
| seamus kilcullen | Jul 17 2012, 2:26pm | why no early start? afraid we'd gobble up all the grub if we managed to get back before everyone else? i just don't need an early start i need an early eary start unless you want to wait half the night for me to finish and to me that's an awful waste of drinking time,so iwant my usual early early start. seamus |
| Kieran Rocks | Jul 17 2012, 5:51pm | Richard, I'm down to volunteer for this but if you have enough and am just taking up a volunteer spot for someone who is entitled to the end-of-league prize, i'm happy enough giving them a chance to do it instead. Wasn't planning to run at this anyway, so let us know if those you didn't list are still needed to help. Thanks |
| Richard Nunan | Jul 17 2012, 6:59pm | @ Seamus In the interest of Safety and Fair racing - I am willing to wait the extra 30 Minutes. No need for you to buy me a beer after :-) It was 9:45 by time I made it to the BBQ last year - That gives you enough time to run it based on last years performance. @ Kieran The list of volunteers above are for the BBQ only. Other Roles will be posted this evening. |
| Aine Mc Donald | Jul 17 2012, 7:05pm | I was just wondering how long in distance the short race up the mountain was in Km.... |

| Rene Borg | Jul 18 2012, 9:47am | I've posted another preview of this evening's race: http://www.championseverywhere.com/the-sugarbowl-bbq-race-previewed |
| Conor O'Sullivan | Jul 18 2012, 12:45pm | Hey Folks, just wondering anybody have space for two in the blackrock area around 5.15/5.30 mark? If so could ya give a text to 086 2668608. Cheers. |
| Conor O'Sullivan | Jul 18 2012, 12:45pm | Hey Folks, just wondering anybody have space for two in the blackrock area around 5.15/5.30 mark? If so could ya give a text to 086 2668608. Cheers. |
| John Condon | Jul 18 2012, 1:21pm | Driving from Greystones around 6.30 |
| John Doyle | Jul 18 2012, 1:46pm | @Richard,I had volunteered for this race but havnt been allocated a role,does that mean im not required to show up at six oclock?just want to confirm.Thanks |
| Orla Crosse | Jul 18 2012, 2:08pm | Richard, something's come up and I can't volunteer tonight. Apologies for short notice. Hopefully someone else will snap up the position and you won't be left short. Orla |
| Richard Nunan | Jul 18 2012, 3:06pm | Thats correct, John Fitzgerald. We have enough volunteers - plenty if other races for you to sign up for. @ Orla Thanks you for letting us know. @ Renne Great preview - describes the race well!! |
| Paul Larkins | Jul 19 2012, 12:37am | I have put up some photos on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/76314985@N02/ If you search under plarks you will also find them... |
| eanna o'floinn | Jul 19 2012, 1:05am | I'm not a regular imra runner, but that was cracking good fun and a really well-organised event. Many thanks to all! |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 19 2012, 5:59am | Thanks Kevin for getting results uploaded. If anyone spots any issues with their result please post details and I'll check it out later this evening. |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 19 2012, 6:47am | A couple of runners signed in using a wrong no, wore a wrong no. or didn't sign in with a no. at all. None of this helps with the results. Wearing someone elses number is a big no no. Please double check your race no. if you are unsure. Thanks. |
| Paul O' Connor | Jul 19 2012, 9:09am | Hi Mick, Just on the results, I came in between Kieran Crowley (84th) and Brian E O' Connor (86th). I was wearing number 335. 85th position was credited to number 339 so it would appear that the number was recorded incorrectly at the finish. Would appreciate it if you could update the result when you get a chance please. Paul. |
| Daniela Boehm | Jul 19 2012, 9:16am | Just wanted to say thanks to the organizers/helpers for a great end-of-league evening! A fun run, fantastic bbq (still felt full this morning, it was such a great feed! special thanks to Eva's magnificient veggie burgers!) and even a couple of rays of sunshine (and otherwise cozy IMRA hoodies to keep us warm) - what more can we ask for?! :)Daniela |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 19 2012, 9:20am | I'll check that this evening Paul. There was quite a few bunch finishes which made the job of recording results all the more challenging, but the info you gave is helpful. |
| Michelle Rowley | Jul 19 2012, 9:38am | Many thanks to all for the great race and BBQ last night....and as for the hoodies, fabulous :-) |
| Brendan Lawlor | Jul 19 2012, 9:45am | Thanks Richard, Justin and both your very substantial crews of helpers for a great event last night |
| Jeff Swords | Jul 19 2012, 9:53am | Chhers guys, can't beat a nice burger after a hectic and mucky race like that, it was good fun. The IMRA hoody kept me cost walking the dogs this morning too. As for the person who scratched the crap out of my car and drove off, an analysis of your paintwork is on it's way to Karma, and everyone knows how much of a bitch karma is ! |
| Gerard Cunningham | Jul 19 2012, 11:35am | Thanks to all involved for the great organisation last night. Please note that Kevin Cunningham (1493) was on the junior course. I think Jack Lawlor (148) may also have been on the junior course |
| Aisling Growney | Jul 19 2012, 11:44am | Thanks for the great night and yummy food!:) Well organised!! |
| Jim Fitzharris | Jul 19 2012, 12:05pm | I know I am joining a Greek chorus but sincere thanks to Richard and his team for a well organised and truly memorable mudfest of a race last night and to Justin & Conor and their crew for a great BBQ afterwards. And yes, Eva’s veggie sausages/burgers were superb – just as good as her home baking. I am surprised that hubbie Simon is not a lot heavier than he is – he must have a will of steel or takes lots of exercise! The IMRA hoodies are very nice too and just the ticket to keep warm on a cool evening – the hood was very effective at keeping the midges at bay from this bald head at any rate! Cheers, Jim. |
| BrÃan O'Meara | Jul 19 2012, 12:19pm | Great course - thought short, it's a proper mountain run. I can't think of many other race with a degree of scrambling similar to that. I suppose a bit of Carauntoohil, but I can't think of any others. Fortune favoured the brave. |
| Angus Tyner | Jul 19 2012, 12:31pm | I didn't race, but have report up. So while the rest of you were enjoying the BBQ...;) |
| claire McEntee | Jul 19 2012, 12:43pm | Thanks an absolute million for last nights race, the organisers did a great joh, I took a spill on the way up the hill and finished with a face like a thunder cloud.. ( Im thinking racing flats do not lend themselves to the sugar bowl ;) ) until I hit the the bbq and had a head sized burger... I realise this is a hardcore running site but whoever made the jammie cream bun things..... is a genius. I NEED! that recipe :) |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 19 2012, 1:29pm | Well done Richard for a well organised evening. Thanks Fiona for the help on the laptop. With luck a laptop course will be arranged for interested parties in the new year like was the case for the 1st aiders. Its relatively straightforward but its a vital cog in the IMRA machine. Thanks James & co. on the numbers recording front. There was so many bunch finishers there was no way we could have recorded them without your help. Lastly, who was the not so bright spark (runner) that parked their landrover jeep at the limited parking at the GAA entrance and in so doing blocked what would normally be the a potential finishing track - which added spice then to the shake-up for 2nd, 3rd and 4rd places. Its a bit Irish to think you can park at the finish line! |
| peter o'farrell | Jul 19 2012, 1:57pm | Fair play on marshalling and rounding up the soul ladies Angus. Arrows are the job, there should never be blocking lines of tape. Only put tape where you want people to go. Blocking lines of tape are the echoing manifestation of a (currently) discredited marking system! Much like static stretching! Normally I'd give out about lines of tape across paths, they are not part of the marking guidelines and can cause confusion but I think in this case that poor lady was simply destined to go wrong, at one point I was wishing a random line of tape was the finishing line too :) Still, at least she had her phone in one hand and your concern in the other.. |
| Jeff Fitzsimons | Jul 19 2012, 2:00pm | As you are mentioning arrows, Peter & Angus, I picked one up from the verge opposite the back car park entrance of Marley last night. I have it in the car and will give it to someone responsible the next time I see them. I know, the arrow may be in my car for a long time! |
| Richard Nunan | Jul 19 2012, 3:12pm | Phew we were lucky with the weather !!! Just a quick note to say thanks to all the Volunteers that helped out last-night at the Race and the BBQ. I think in General the rate of Volunteering has been up on last year apart from laptop Operator. Great inventive by Brendan, Mountain Rescue and other Clubs to manage races, so hopefully that continues into next year. So well done to all!! Thanks again to Angus Tomas for assisting with the marking, de-marking and Sweeping of racers who went astray. Best of Luck to Tamas who now leaves our shores to Study in Oslo. Lastly well done to the winners - Jenny McCauley and Peter O Farrell, a relaxed minute ahead of the scramble between the next 2nd, 3rd and 4th. The parking of the silver vehicle at the start/finish obstructing the course providing. Well done to Jack Lawlor and Kate McDonald on winning the Juniors. |
| warren swords | Jul 19 2012, 5:41pm | Great race, fitting event to finish the LL. This race feels harder each year, the pain! Great hoodies. Thanks to all |
| Niamh O'Gorman | Jul 19 2012, 6:51pm | thanks a million, best bbq yet!...and ive been to many many sugar loaf bbqs!! claire i think you are talking about the jammie creamy almond buns. As many mountain runners know at this stage if you are hungry after a race you pretend to talk to vivian o' gorman in a bid to find out if denise (Creator of said buns) has come along bearing delicious treats! |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 19 2012, 7:25pm | Some tweaks made to results as a result of feedback so that will be up in due course. |
| Aidan Kelly | Jul 19 2012, 8:35pm | Hi On the results my result from last night isn't showing, I'm not aware if race number 1019 took part last night but this may have been consfused with my number 1009 at the sprint to the finish. |
| Mick Hanney | Jul 19 2012, 8:46pm | Both 1019 and 1009 are listed in the updated set of results which will be uploaded in due course. |
| Brian O'Connor | Jul 21 2012, 12:39am | Hey, I posted a review of this race. Check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks. http://wp.me/p2BJun-9 |
| Paul O' Connor | Jul 21 2012, 10:59am | Mick, thanks very much for sorting out the results. Brian, nice report. Looks like you were directly behind me, may have been speaking to you at the end. I also saw that guy pegging it down the initial section of the descent and was also very impressed by his complete lack of sense of self-preservation! |
| John Shiels | Jul 22 2012, 8:38pm | Just uploaded a few shots from Wednesday's race and will do yesterday's ( Mweelrea)in a few minutes. |
| Rene Borg | Jul 24 2012, 9:22am | Team results are up and confirm the medal positions previous to the event (UCD, Sli Cualann, Crusaders). The overall file has been damaged so it will take me a few days to put it back together again. |
