private parking

18 April, 2024 - David Power

We were warned that the park was open to the public and would be busy. Logical enough - the long evenings are here in April, so I left for work early that morning imagining a nice warm sunny evening on Killiney Hill, running around in the charity relay.
Like the Formula 1 - weather conditions can change and cause havoc. The lingering rain all afternoon never cleared, so my bright idea of running from work was damper than expected. A 40min warm up was longer than the race.

Unlike the F1, I didn't have a pitcrew to swap out my slick road runners for a pair of grippy trail runners, required for the slippy descents from the Obelisk. No harm, on arrival, tried to seek shelter from the cold rain drops under the leafless trees and met my team of Lucile and Conor - their combined age still less than mine probably.

Off they went, while I mingled and got progressively colder. Gloves and Boston jacket on. ("Don\'t you know I did the marathon? Let me tell you...").

The race was won by the time I got going, so off I trotted up the path. The slicks came in handy for most of the lap. We had the park to ourselves, the rain keeping that single body, "the public", away. It was glorious to come out about Vico Road and see Killiney Bay and Bray Head, all calm and beautiful. Still silence. Same when we got up the steps to Telegraph Hill and saw Dublin Bay and Dún Laoghaire.

At this point, I had moved well clear of the wooden spoon race, passing a runner, who then charged down the hill to the finish, dashing my hopes of redeeming dignity by passing me by a nose at the line. Nobody saw me pass him, but 50 people say him pass me back. Chapeau.

My run back to the bus home after involved a nav error. Must have missed the tape, so didn't hit the #7 bus, but managed to salvage a #63 home via a circuitous route. Should have brought my map, compass and bus timetable.

All in all, a nice intro for Wednesday evening racing. Great to see new runners dipping their toes with IMRA.
