Jesis, I am delight you started this, cos I was hoking around all morning trying to find which links to pop up.

FYI From the startlists
http://www.iau-ultramarathon.org/
Orna seems to be ranked 8th in the women's thought there are about 6 wildcards.
Gary is ranked 4th in the mens and I know he is hoping to medal but not sure how much DCM will have taken out of him.

The big factor is going to be the weather, it is currently 36ºC by day in Doha and it doesn't look like it is going to be any less than 30ºC at the time of the race (6pm Doha Time, 3pm Irish time). I really think it is going to come down to who copes best with the heat and who paces themselves best to the conditions. I really wouldn't be expecting any world class times.

World Trophy Final? I though this was The World Championships? Or is it just the name given for it?

Best of luck to all. I don't like to see anything hosted in Qatar though.

Yep, it's the world tropy final and qualification is based on results of offcial qualifying races over the last 2 years (Donadea is one of them).
From next year they are renaming it the world 50k Championship and Federations will be able to pick and send their own team.

Thats a great website. It even has me on it :cool:

Handy to have all (well, most) of your race results in one place.

Thankfully diggers ugly mug isn't on that page!!

Best if luck Orna!!!!

tunguska · 30-10-2014 11:01pm

Anybody know what time (our time)it starts at?
I think the only saving grace is that it'll be held at night, so no blistering sunshine.

Great article. Some of the comments below it show what's wrong with this country!
'Give her a burger'! Gob****es.
I know if somebody told me I needed a burger I'd be happy I was in racing shape. I saw some similar comments made about Maria McCambridge on Facebook, people are so unaccustomed to looking at healthy, athletic builds nowadays.

Good luck to those racing. Hope Orna posts a race report!!

Don't know the girl, but fair play to her and the best of luck.

Running 50k in that heat will be an achievement in itself.

Have to agree with today's concept of healthy, being overweight nowadays is almost the norm!

I would prefer my daughter to look like her than some of the Gastropods crawling along our streets.

Best of luck.

I'm guessing the live results will appear here
http://www.stuweb.co.uk/live/race.shtml#1764-2909
It's a 5k loops so expect a time at the end of each loop.

There is still some conjecture as to whether the race starts at 3pm or 3:30pm our time but we'll soon find out.
Gary is bib 004 and Orna 107 as far as i know.

Ravis mentioned a live video feed....though haven't found it yet

RedRunner · 31-10-2014 3:49pm

^^^^ Cheers. I was just about to look for that...perfect timing!

career move · 31-10-2014 3:52pm

Nearly kick off time. Best of luck Orna

EDIT: Not sure if the athletics in Doha is like the horse racing but the horse races never start at the times they are supposed to!

Think they put Digger in charge of the background music, with the 70's porn classics being played atm

I'll be amazed if digger makes it home from the middle east with his mickey still attached to his body!
