Rene Borg May 5, 7:51PM Hi Brendan, I've accepted you on the site now as Race Director.
Brendan O'Connor May 6, 12:28PM Hi,
Could those who have kindly offered to help at the race next week send me your email address (to: oconnor dot brendan dot m at gmail.com) or update your email address on your MyIMRA profile,

Thanks,
Brendan
Brendan O'Connor May 11, 8:54PM Coillte have granted us extended opening at Ticknock, until 9:30pm. For those who feel they may not complete the course and exit within this time, can you consider doing the short course (or some training!). All cars must be out by 9:30pm at the latest,
Thanks,
Brendan
shane `young May 12, 6:52PM hey was just wondering if someone can post the address of the start point or sho it on a map. trying to figure out where it is?

Brendan O'Connor May 12, 9:40PM Shane, if you check the Events Page, there is a location map for the start point posted there.
Eoin Browne May 12, 11:28PM Hi
If my memory serves me right there was a good deal of parking problems a last years Ticknock event so I think it is important that people use the carpool arrangements either on the website or by going to Taylors and filling up any cars going to the start.
One of the issues last year was that people started parking on the road outside the forest gate before all the parking spaces in the forest were used. This resulted in chaos on the road while there was still ample space inside the gates. So a word of advice to the organisers is to bring along plenty of high vis jackets and a few rolled up newspapers to ensure that we do make the best use of the space available and don't end up annoying residents and anyone else using the area.
Con O'Donovan May 13, 9:11AM CAR POOL FROM DUN LAOGHAIRE DART STATION - Hi. If you booked a seat in my car please note that I did not have my email setup properly so I have no details of you - sorry. Please email me: codonovan(a)hotmail.com to make arrangements to meet!
Brendan O'Connor May 13, 9:59AM Eoin, we have that in hand - there will be no parking outside the forest (it shall be taped off), as there is ample parking within the forest itself. Pat Ryan and Deirdre O'Neill will be your Lockhards tonight,

Brían O'Meara May 13, 11:43AM Hi

What time does registration close at?

Brían
Sonja Fuhrmann May 13, 12:32PM Where will the registration take place? In the lower car park or at taylors car park or where? Registration will close at 7pm, thats right? Thanks, Sonja
Brendan O'Connor May 13, 1:33PM Registration is always at the Race Start location, unless advised otherwise. So the registration for tonight will be at Ticknock itself, just inside the forest entrance.

Registration closes 10 minutes before race start (i.e. 7:20pm)
Thanks,
Brendan
James Flanagan May 13, 10:40PM Hi all, I found a pair of runners left behind on the side of the road after this race. It looks like someone drove off without them. If you are missing a pair of Asics Gel Moriko Goretex with blue and pink bands euro size 40, or know who has, then feel free to contact me. I live in the city centre and I try to go to all of the Wednesday races, my race number is 566 so I should be easy to find. James
aisling renshaw May 14, 8:53AM Hi James
Thanks a million for picking up the trainers- they belong to my friend. If you are doing the race next wed it would be great if you could bring them along then. Thanks!
Aisling
Rene Borg May 14, 9:05AM Club results now up for this event. Congratulations to Rathfarnham WSAF and Sli Cualann for their victories in the men and women's respectively.
Edward Bateman May 14, 10:56AM I was wondering if there were any photos from last night, i don't remember seeing any cameras on the course but then I didn't see much through the fog and rain.... ;o)
Rene Borg May 14, 12:03PM We finally managed to get a good measure of yesterday's three-loop route: 8.64km and 376m ascent is the verdict.

Commendations to the Race Director and his crew for successfully bringing this Winter route from 2007 into the Leinster League, certainly one of the more interesting and varied routes available up there.

It's only weakness is you don't get to descend on the Boneshaker but there's plenty of interesting stuff to make up for it.
Eva Fairmaner May 14, 12:19PM Rene, Thank God we didn't have to go down the Boneshaker! I lost enough places on the other descents! Roll on Powerscourt and an uphill race. Thank you Brendan and Co for all the organisation last night, particularly to Henny and the other cheerful marshalls standing out in the inclement conditions. Much appreciated.
James Flanagan May 14, 12:28PM Hi Aisling,
no problem, I will bring the trainers with me next Wednesday.
James
Jim Fitzharris May 14, 3:05PM I would just like to add my vote of thanks to Brendan and his team for a very well organised race last night with particularly good marking which was a boon given the challenging conditions.

Congrats also to Barry on his excellent win - clearly, absence does make the heart grow fonder!

I agree with Eva: roll on Powerscourt - real hill running!!

Cheers,

Jim.
Anthony Malone May 14, 9:53PM TICKNOCK
