    Great to see runners from Munster and the North.

    I was knocking between 3rd and 4th place ladies pretty much from the start until myself and the eventual 3rd place lady from Newry City pulled away from the summit of Djouce and I pulled slightly ahead of her after the view of the waterfall. I'm happy to finish within the placed ladies !

    I'm bloody wrecked now, Maulin I thought was tougher than Djouce but that could be just because I'm familiar with it at this stage.

    I thought Maulin was definitely tougher. I was comfortable going up Djouce, Maulin was misery.

    There's been a great discussion on volunteering at imra races over on their forum. Rathfarnham assembled a full squad to man one particular race last year, and now Crusaders are looking to do the same for next. Its a great idea, that a club "takes over" the running of a particular race.

    Loads of hill runners on this forum- could we do the same from Boards? If enough people said they were willing to help out, we could fill RD, Asst RD, Laptop, First Aid, etc, (as well as running volunteers), and present it to the committee as a done deal. Don't know what race yet (calendars out next week), but I'll probably be RD'ing one WL race (guess which one;)), Mick will be RD'ing a LC race, or we could target one of the LL Wednesday night races.

    Any takers?

    I think it can be done. One thing I've wondered, and had intended on posting on the IMRA forum, what's the dark art behind the laptop operator ? I'm sure there's a few of us around here that work in IT and are never away from a bloody laptop.

    So we're obviously getting your Annagh Hill again, people might remember to bring their rain jackets this time around !

    Yeah I did the last Laptop course they ran, it's actually pretty straightforward. The guys supply a CD with test database etc which I can get you a copy of if you want..that's probably all you need to know.

    If you're new to the laptop, I hear that you should do it for the first time at Bray Head or whatever the first Leinster League race is. ;)

    Great idea re Boards race. I'd be in for that.

    Donthop...

    Re; Boards volunteers -?I'd be happy to help out, as would claralara... Just keep me as far away from the laptop as possible ;)

    I only managed Howth and Trooperstown last year due to other commitments but loved the change of scenery and atmosphere!

    Fantastic response so far, I think this is something that we as a Boards team can pull off.

    A little birdie told me that Annagh will make the calendar for next year, but another birdie opined it will be hard to fill non-running positions. It got a great response from last year, so loads who missed it want to see what the route is like, and will want to race on the day (as Dunebuggy suggests above). So I'll see what sort of support I can muster to fill those non-running spots (key ones are laptop, first aid, summit marshals), and then fill the rest from running Boardies.

    Or else we'll just pick a LL Wednesday night race and do all the volunteering that? Might be a better use of resources. Either way its good to see so many willing to volunteer, cheers:D

    I heard a little birdy tell me its easier to get summit marshels if they are bribed with coffee and a mega phone to shout abuse/encourage people....

    I'd be happy to lend a hand, depending on the date. I'm new to this mountain running lark but I'm hoping to run most of the Winter League races and will be volunteering at some stage in any case.

    Someone close to the committee gave me flawed info last week, just so they'd know where the leak came from if it did come out. Thankfully, I kept my council;) There's more secrecy to this calendar than there is in the Budget!

    We're obviously not waiting for the German Trail Running association to ratify it, hence the lack of info leaking out.

    The GMRA have only managed to auction enough volunteers for 3.6 of their 6 races and thus have enough on their plate to worry about without leaking where round 2 of the IC might be.

    Leinster Champs 2012

    Tonalagee & the Lake.
    Mullaghcleevaun
    Circuit of Glenmacnass
    Circuit of Glendalough.
    Mount Leinster.
    Carlingford Slieve Foye

    So thats the forthcoming Leinster Champs. I like the look of the first three best personally. Also, I'm a little glum that none will finish at the Glenmalure Inn, (but then I never put my hand up to organize one that ends at the Glenmalure Inn).
