Looking forward to it. Will the online membership form be available again this week? (And are we allowed run on the paths?
)
There is a new get tough policy with path runners, a trained former army marksman with a pellet device has been retained for the duration of the cross country season to gently warn those straying onto solid ground that there are consequences for their actions!
I'll get back to you on the first question soon. 0 -

1st ever cross country tomorrow and I'm winging it in a pair of adidas kanadia. Fingers crossed!!
You will probably be fine for most of it, you will just need to be careful at any boggy patches as you could easily go over your ankle, I've seen it happen a few times. Enjoy your first cross country race, you'll love it! 0 -

are they online? or were they available at the clubhouse after the race? I had to shoot off straight away, missed the brack
(thought the men's race was starting at 12
)
Ray,
They printed down the mens results in full and hung them outside the club house.
They will be available online tomorrow.0 -
Let me reassure all that there is no plot to toughen up cross country runners by keeping them outdoors before & after races! Unfortunately, maintenance work in the St.Jude's GAA club hall today kept us from getting in, fortunately, it was a dry day & some boy scout brought their tent. A huge thanks to Mick Mc Cartan, all in South Dublin County Council and the BHAA for getting us off to a super start in 2012 with two great races. There were a few minor teething problems with our chip timing system & team prizes will be given out after the races in Cherryfield Park on 21/01. We will be in a far better position to take annual memberships in a fortnight, keep those spikes sharpened.& thanks for your patience today. 0

Good race today, a big crowd out and well run.
Congrats to the boardsie in the women's race who came in 6th (?).Great morning for it, although it was freezing standing around watching, would have loved to run. Blown away by how easy the top guys and girls make it look, they seem to be floating across the ground.
Well done to the girl in the Boards AC vest - great running.
That was me ! , thanks , i went out too fast and lost a place in the last 500m ,so came in 7th never happens me ,, normally start slower and finish strong , i could have kept the place if i dug a bit deeper , but first race of the year so... . Good field of runners there today , very fair course . Hadnt a clue what the route was for the course so that didnt help my performance im sure . Thanks to whoever out there was sh.outing encouragement to me , really appreciated it !, i wouldnt normally know anyone around that neck of the woods . 0 -

You looked very strong at the end when I seen you Seres, I noticed your Boards AC top, 7th is very impressive. 0 -
Well done Seres that was good running.
I'm a cross-country newbie but I enjoyed today; though I'm not sure I got the pacing quite right. I was a mile into it before I got moving and it was half over by then! I spent the second half passing people which was good but I probably should get used to pacing myself better in the shorter races.
I had to leave straight after but I'm looking forward to watching the men's race and enjoying some BHAA brack and chat on the 21st!
It hard to get the pacing bang on but i always find its best if you can finish strong , good for the confidence . Hopefully will make the 21st . I love watching the xc race , worth goin out to see , must better viewing than the road races .
Thanks , had a bit more in the tank at the end , tactically not my best performance either but sure im never happy !!! How did you get on ?You looked very strong at the end when I seen you Seres, I noticed your Boards AC top, 7th is very impressive.0 -

When you passed the start line and coming to the finish, I was cheering on Boards, should have known it was you all right.Two miles seems very short to me for a womans race
I notice some women run in the longer race, they prefer the distance. Don't think they'll let me in the shorter race though 0 -

Managed to navigate my way around the course in the Kanadia's without too much dificulty although you wouldn't say that if you saw me on the 3rd lap...
Question from a cross country newbie - Do the spikes provide me with significantly more grip?0 -
