<html>The summer mountain running season got off to a rousing start as 62 runners pinned on the colorful tokens created by President Jane and revitalized the traditional Killiney Hill relay. While the high tech computer handled the registration,(thanks to some last minute replacement parts from the Diarmuid O'Colmain computer store), the old fashioned 'pull the names out of a hat' technique was used to randomly select the teams. The route started from the car park and took the main route to the top of Killiney Hill, through the muddy woods down off Killiney and then the long way around the south side of Dalkey Hill and then up the little lane and hundreds of steps to the tower atop Dalkey Hill. The excellent marking of Mike Long led the runners down a zig zag path to the finish.
Peter O'Farrell took off and turned in the fastest time of the night (10:36) running the first leg for team 19. (By the way peter also had the second fastest leg running 11:22 on the third leg for team 21). I took over facing the eerie and unfamiliar prospect of running in the lead with everyone chasing me. Expecting to be passed at any time , it took until the steps to Dalkey Hill that I was passed by Tony Doolin, who led team 20 (tony, Martin Francis and Paul Kelly) to victory. Some very fast runs on the last leg shook up the results.
It was good to see so many new runners. there was a great atmosphere around the relay and over 420 Euros were raised for Goal, almost 7 euro per person. Well done to everyone.
