Raheny Winter League - Rnd 3 (Weds 13th)

More of a reminder to the lads registered and the few locals around. Robin / Shels / Macanri - are you all running? Tough wind out there tonight, I hope it'll calm down by tomorrow.

For anyone who hasn't been down before, it's €5 at the Raheny Shamrocks clubhouse ca. 1930, start @ 2000.

Cool see you up there. I was unsure myself, the info is only on the site since this morning.

I came in 11th in both of the last two races, have to stop letting people overtake me along the finish tonight and see if I can make 10th. :eek:

Fine by me, once I'm in 9th!

Howaya all,

I have done a couple of the 2 milers before in raheny, just wondering if this one tonight is three laps or a totally different course?

VanBosch · 13-01-2010 12:29pm

What is the standard like in these races? Is it just for club runners.I've heard that it's a very friendly club but wouldnt want to keep them out all night until I finish!I would hope to finish at around 23 mins. How many people run these?Thanks

It's three laps of the same course.

It's a pretty wide range of standards, you'll be fine. They have the results of the previous races up on their site if you want to have a look at those. I think they get about 50'ish the last couple of races so plenty of room for everyone and no chance of getting boxed in at the start, great chance to get a PB, although the wet road might not be ideal.

+1, you'd be absolutely fine at that pace

GoHardOrGoHome · 13-01-2010 5:00pm

I might be able to make it to this race.

Being fairly lazy though I was wondering if somebody had the address of where to meet (so that I can lob it into the satnav) or the satnav coordinates?!

I don't know Raheny well (at all).

christeb · 13-01-2010 5:03pm

540 Howth Road, Raheny.

The clubhouse is just before this junction on the right, opposite the Church (and beside the scout den).

GoHardOrGoHome · 13-01-2010 5:12pm

Perfect, thanks christeb.

It's a bit hidden away when your first looking for it on a dark and rainy night, I walked past a couple of times not able to spot the other building in between around the back of the scout den the first time.

Had hoped and planned to run this third race, but I have a prob with my achilles and I have been told by the physio to lay off the running for a few weeks. She says I may be able to run The Raheny 5 though.

Slightly smaller field than the previous races by the looks of it, but they have already got the results online for us:

Great to see 3 BAC members in the top 15

GoHardOrGoHome · 17-01-2010 10:42pm

That 3 miler was good craic. Hopefully I'll be able to make the 2 miler. Would like to target 12 minutes for that.

Didn't get to see you there Shels but met your brother. I'll probably to the Raheny 5 as long as it doesn't clash with a re-scheduled IMRA Howth race.
