| Rene Borg | Jan 15, 1:33PM | Hehe, it was meant in jest as well! A friend of mine once said: "You can only slag people about flaws you posses yourself!" He also said: "So can slag everyone about anything." Nice lad he was... |
| Mick Hanney | Jan 15, 12:18PM | Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black... Regards, |
| Rene Borg | Jan 15, 7:17AM | Good going Fergal, on you and Ronan running the BHAA and the Howth race with a good finish like that on consecutive days. Does the term "over-racing" mean nothing to you? ;-) |
| Sinead Roche | Jan 14, 7:56PM | Runner history for Feargal Hartnett has now been corrected. Cheers, Sinead |
| Rene Borg | Jan 14, 12:38PM | Second amendment: the correct score for Clonliffe ladies is of course, 22 points. This will be amended on the resuls page. |

| Mark McLoughlin | Jan 14, 10:09AM | Another first timer here - really enjoyed the race, impressive organisation, thanks to all involved! |
| Colum King | Jan 14, 9:30AM | Hey Guys, just wanted to say thanks for a great race. Thats my first Hill Run and I think Im addicted now!! Great organisation, perhaps I can help out in the future. See ye at Three Rock... |
| Moire O'Sullivan | Jan 14, 9:07AM | Just wanted to echo Cormac and Neil's comments there... Amazing level of organisation there on Sunday! Registration was smooth, numbers all printed with OSI sponsorship, even membership cards! I brought some new faces along, and they were all seriously impressed by the thrill of the race and how friendly the atmosphere was. Definitely was a day when I was truly proud to be a member of IMRA :o) |
| Neil Wilson | Jan 14, 8:22AM | Many thanks for a fantastic run event yesterday morning.Realy enjoyed the company and frendly and supportive organisation. It was my first hill run and look forward to the next race.. |
| cormac o ceallaigh | Jan 14, 7:24AM | Well done to Ray and his team for doing such a super job in organising yesterday race, for the first race of the league and with registering 150 runners!, and having the hot showers laid on....excellent! |
| Rene Borg | Jan 13, 10:58PM | Hi Feargal, you've been registered as another person of the same name then. Sinead Roche is our Results and Data Secretary and can fix that for her, just send her a mail on sinead.roche@imra.ie. You'll probably appear as Feargal Hartnett with your birth year behind your name on the site then. |
| Feargal Hartnett | Jan 13, 10:34PM | Hi Rene, First off I really enjoyed the race this morning and hope to run lt more throughout the year. I must go in search of getting a prpoer pairof trail runners. I am not sure if your the site moderator but when I clicked on my name under my race history it states I ran two races in 2007. Today was my first ever mouantain race aprt from the WW relay last year. Rgds Feargal |
| Rene Borg | Jan 13, 9:37PM | Here are the preliminary club results for today's race, until we get the automatic calculation working and the names cleaned up (3D Tri club appearing with three different names etc.) Very competitive! Men's Teams 1st Clonliffe Harries 15 (Feargal Hartnett 4, Ronan Hartnett 5, Dermott Murphy 6) 2nd Crusaders AC 20 (Shane O'Rourke 2, Alan O'Keefe 3, Rene Borg 15) 3rd Setanta 67 (Eoin Keith 1, Andreas Kusch 31, Kevin O'Riordan 35) 4th 3D Triathlon 146 (Sean Farrell 36, Eoman Quinn 43, Michael Blighe 66) 5th Rathfarnham WSAF 165 (Kevin Grogan 10, Mike Long 11, Barry Minnock 144) 6th GEN 208 (Alan Ayling 33, Joe Lalor 50, Brendan Doherty 125) Women's Teams 1st Clonliffe Harriers 24 (Bronagh Ni Bhriain 5, Karen Duggan 6, Maura Matthews 11) 2nd Crusaders AC 25 (Aoife Joyce 1, Niamh Ni Cholmain 10, Eva Fairmaner 14) 3rd Sportsworld 67 (Jackie O 9, Catherine King 27, Deirdre Horan 31) |
| Justin Rea | Jan 12, 4:15PM | Entry fee is ?7 for each race. Annual registration is ?10 that does you for the whole year for any IMRA race. Each race has a sign in where you retrieve your number. Hand it back in after each race. |
| Chris Carey | Jan 12, 11:56AM | How much is the entry fees for the races? Do you need to sign up for the league series or just individual races? Thanks |
| Charlie O'Connell | Jan 11, 9:43PM | For what categories will there be overall League results and awards? Last year it was confined to Senior runners only. I thought this a bit unfair to the many Masters who participated. |
| Justin Rea | Jan 11, 2:07PM | One of the benefits of running on mountains is that the water tends to run off them. There are a few notable exceptions (like the ride in Ballinastoe!) Normal runners are usually OK except for a technical descent. This is where mud, or scree, or other unstable footing makes the path tricky. To be honest, your experience and technique makes much more of a difference than what kind of shoes you wear. It would be fun to see you do Howth in waders though ;-) |
| Rene Borg | Jan 11, 12:04PM | Hi guys, You can run Howth in normal runners without killing yourself. Still trail shoes would be recommended especially in foul weather. But your normal runners should be fine if you're just out to try it. The race will go ahead unless the conditions are so ridiculous they are dangerous, but even if that happened then you can be sure a lot will run it anyway (uninsured!), myself included. We've run races in 10m visibility in the snow, or in hailing rainstorms, so it'll take a bit. |
| tom p | Jan 11, 11:56AM | I never did this either and was thinking of trying it but was wondering : Would the likes of asics 2120's do for Howth as i have never been in Howth let alone gone running up a hill there..--what kind of terrain is it?Surely it's a mud bath after the recent weather and it's probably waders i need instead? |
| ciaran kelly | Jan 11, 11:28AM | hi, I am new to this and hoping to attend and join on Sunday in Howth. Does the event go ahead rain or shine? Thanks ciaran |
