Mick Hanney Feb 5, 8:31PM An attempt at capturing a report of Sunday's event has been posted... Was difficult to put into words ;-)
Mick Hanney Feb 4, 8:31PM Great posting Keith. I think I could see your 'red' progress bubble being blown backwards on the more savage bit!
Keith Lacey Feb 4, 5:18PM My very first trail run and I reckon it was harder than the marathon! The wind was unbearable at times; was wondering if the race was going to be stopped at one stage. From your comments above you loved it! Anyway, well done to all involved.
If you want to see my effort of a run or get stats on the elevations etc I've uploaded details to motionbased
http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/player/4908663

See you all at the next trail run.
Fergal Noone Feb 4, 5:10PM Just wanted to add my say to the above and thank the organisers. I know its not always fair to single out some people for extra praise but hats off to the marshalls and the markers. At times, with the wind and poor visability, I had no idea where I was going.
Jason Keho Feb 4, 4:01PM I hear you Cathal! It was more like needles coming down at the summit than rain. I was literally blown over twice into the bog and even contemplated running sideways for a few minutes. Might bring a sail next year for the downhill to cut a few minutes off my time! Well done to the organisers and helpers too!
Cathal Lally Feb 4, 2:55PM what a run. what a day. I have never run in conditions like that before. I have to say I really enjoyed it in a savage kind of way. look forward to the next one. thanks to the organisers, helpers etc. not an easy day to be out.
Justin Rea Feb 4, 12:13PM I liked the route. Much better than tarmac.

I spookily finished in exactly the same time as last year - to the second!

Any creative spirits want to write a race report. It deserves one! :-)
Jackie O Feb 4, 11:42AM Here, here!
Well done to all organisers, helpers, marshalls and photographers who stood selflessly in the cold for over an hour (at least we got to keep warm by running!) so that we might have a safe and enjoyable race!
A big thanks and well done to all involved! :)
John Shiels Feb 3, 9:58PM Hi all,
Photo upload has been fixed. I put a few up, the conditions were almost as challenging for the photographer as for the runners

Rene Borg Feb 3, 7:28PM Thanks Mick, I've entered your changes to the route. Shame we can't factor in wind conditions in our "Difficulty" system!

Note that this year's route was slightly different than last year's featuring a different final descent, meaning both Aisling and Eoin have set course records on this "new" course.

I'm having problems with the photo upload, so here's the one's I took at the finish for now: http://picasaweb.google.com/RennyBourke/TicknockWinter08
Mick Hanney Feb 3, 4:12PM Great run today - in a savage sort of way.
Thanks to the organisers for a well run race.
Heres the nerdy bit. I made it 380 meters we covered in 8.8k so the route summary was slightly optimistic with 310 (I wish it was 310!)

Cheers.
Dermot Murphy Jan 31, 11:06AM Yes, it will be marked.
Paul Whyte Jan 30, 10:48PM Will the Three Rock route be marked?
