A huge well done to everyone - and especially some familar names from last years beginners thread.

Having been completely overwhelmed by the support at my first marathon last year I swore I would pay it back if I didn't run this year. So after practically a whole year out (sick, injured, family stuff, whatever you're having yourself....) I was at the side of the road cheering you all on. Trust me its no hassle to come out in full rain gear and support - fair play to you all for some great performances in those conditions.

Loved spectating yesterday but realised a few weeks ago as the build up began to the event this year that I really miss participating. So today I start back (2 miles at lunch - nice n easy) - see you all at the start line in 2012!!!

James Howlett · 01-11-2011 11:53am

I'm very glad to hear so many other posters here talking of horror stories, I don't feel so bad now to add my own

I took off just ahead of the 3:30 pacers and hoped to maintain that pace for the duration of the event (this year's phoenix park half time for me was 1:34:xx) and was doing okay for a while.

I got a stitch at around mile 10 which slowed me down. Nevertheless I pushed on and it disappeared by the time I got to the Walkinstown roundabout. Just after that the 3:30 balloons passed me by and I ran beside them, a very leisurely strolling RayCun, until mile 14. After that my pace started to slow a great deal. I never stopped to walk but was at some points dragging my feet along the ground just to keep going.

I don't know about other racers but I missed A LOT of the mile markers. I think I passed mile 17 and didn't see another marker until 20. Psychologically it was great when I saw the 20mile mark but up until that point I was wrecking my head with thoughts that this "17-18" mile was the longest mile I had ever run

Anyway I got really tired before the end but saw another runner with a canadian flag on his shirt and talked to him about the homeland until the end. The conversation was great distraction and without it I probably would have walked sections of the end.

By mile 24/26 I decided to just press onward and ran a good pace right the way to the end. It was killing me but I just pushed on and closed the race with 4:03:xx. This is 11minutes slower than last year where I had an injury but what the hell, a better training plan should see me better next year.

Well done to all, it's a different measure of pain for each to endure but once you do it's worth it to wear that fancy medal that not everyone can have:

Congrats to all! We were in Inchicore at the left turn onto the SCR. Great reaction from the crowd, everyone seemed to be enjoying the music as they made it to the top of the hill there. Great atmosphere, and impressed with everyone out there (I'm too much of a wuss to attempt it!)

The music was a brilliant idea.

I ran out of memory. I finished up just before the 3:45 pacers went by 25km so hopefully you're in there.

Thanks Woddle.
That's me just behind the lad with the blue and yellow vest. And thats Alberto to my left (jester suit). We swapped places for nearly the whole race. Finally took him out at mile 26

First marathon. There will be more.

3.59.22, delighted to break the 4 hours. Loved it. Would love to go back and savour the crowd a bit more. Does anyone go around and tell these neighbourhoods how much it is appreciated by the runners? Remember one guy in Terenure running beside me so I wouldn't have to break stride while I took all his jellies, kids high fiving, parents handing out homemade flapjacks, all the banners and screamed encouragement, the crowd willing you up Heartbreak Hill. It's a wonderful wonderful side of Dublin that you just don't get to hear about. I don't want to get too ott, but for a country whose image has taken a bit if a battering recently, when I think of all the runners from overseas yesterday, how they would have seen a side of this country that we had almost forgotten, our welcome, it really does make me proud. To those who lined the route, take a bow, it's deserved.

You did all the running entirely yourself; congratulations, I'm delighted for you. The help we provided was only a small part, the rest was up to you. Well Done!

Thanks again. I don't think you have any idea how much it helped. You guys and the balloons became my focus. Distracted me that tiny bit from all my tiredness. I needed something to block out the pain. It was incredible. All I could think about was keeping focused on the balloons. I had absolutely nothing left until you guys gave me a renewed focus.
I would love to buy you all a pint some day because the feeling I have since it is something that will stay with me forever. I beat my target time by 11 secs so thank you for getting me there. I tried to go and thank you all but I couldn't go any further when I finished and you were gone when I started moving again. I barely remember the finish as I thought I was going to pass out.

The help you provided was MASSIVE. THANK YOU

Well done Lex Luther. There's a great pic of you on the DCM facebook page. You are on the finishing straight and look in pain

Well done Lex - missed you after. Delighted to see you nail it.

DAVID AKA MACKY · 01-11-2011 1:34pm

Well done to all that took part.Would dearly to love to see how i would do at the marathon distance,just need more strength.Did my first half marathon this year in 72mins which was ok so would be interesting to see how i would do.That dublin marathon course is no way as difficult as what my mum did years ago when they had to go out near the sugarloaf mountains.
Disappointed for sean connelly,hopefully he can get the 2.15 time in his next marathon,he deserves it.The training he does is fantastic.For my clubmate brian maher he will be up there next time,a fantastic athlete that is going to do really really well at the distance.Top sportsman.

Does anybody know how to get your positon by chip time not finish time?

Well done to everyone who ran yesterday, seemed to be a tough race with the wind and rain. Managed to follow a few people from my club around and thought the crowds everywhere were fantastic, was more than a little jealous to have missed out.

Have a quick question about the wave start though which hopefully someone can fill me in on, (not sure if it's been covered already so apologies if it has been). From what I can gather, anyone who started in an earlier wave than they should have, ie people with green numbers starting in the orange pen, seem to have the exact same chip and gun times and have been given chip times that are 5 minutes less than they should have been. This is the case with a few guys from the club who had improved a lot since they registered and I suppose were chancing their arm a bit in moving into a better pen.

Has anyone else noticed this issues, or have the marathon mentioned it anywhere? Cheers

As far as I know from last year the website only positions you by gun time.

If it is still the same buy the Indo and do it manually, they have the chip times. Bit of a pain but it can be done.

Finish time is your official time, so they don't sort the results by chip time.

Had a fantasic day yesterday. The support out there was amazing. A huge thank you to the 5 hour pacers. Was really aiming to just finish but started with them to stop myself getting excited and rushing off (my race would have been over in the park !). Managed to stay with them till mile 21 when despite the best efforts of Ger664 I had to let them drift. Put the head down and kept going. Felt better and got a bit faster from mile 24. Could still see the balloons in the distance and went for it. Rounding the corner to Merrion Square I could see Ger664 looking around for stragglers. He spotted me and literally shouted me over the line counting down the seconds to 5 hours. Managed to get over the line in 4:59:43

Huge thank you to Ger664 for this.

No issues at the water stations when I came along - must have been lucky or others were unlucky ?

Will definately be back next year, all going well.

Bloody hell, talking about positions - the TDS site has my position at each timing mat

5 miles - 5298
1/2 - 3455
20 - 2321
End - 1859

(I started at the beginning of wave 2 so must have passed a lot of wave 1 along the way)

should be sorted by chip time and finish the same but this explains why we passed thousands of runners. they started in the first wave to counteract this. I know I will do the same next year. having to weave in and out to pass thousands of runners is not the ideal race.

If you start in the first wave and can't run under 3.30, then you are part of the problem. You are one of the runners that everyone else has to weave around.

And for what? So you can see if you're the 3000th runner home or the 4000th?

Who cares?

Thanks again. I don't think you have any idea how much it helped. You guys and the balloons became my focus. Distracted me that tiny bit from all my tiredness. I needed something to block out the pain. It was incredible. All I could think about was keeping focused on the balloons. I had absolutely nothing left until you guys gave me a renewed focus.
I would love to buy you all a pint some day because the feeling I have since it is something that will stay with me forever. I beat my target time by 11 secs so thank you for getting me there. I tried to go and thank you all but I couldn't go any further when I finished and you were gone when I started moving again. I barely remember the finish as I thought I was going to pass out.

The help you provided was MASSIVE. THANK YOU

Thanks for posting that, that really makes me feel good now. When I crossed the line with only a handful of guys around me, I wasn't sure if I had provided any real help to anyone.

Thank you, very much appreciated.

don't understand this post?

i ran under 3.30 but started in the 2nd wave but had to pass out thousands who had obviously started in the first wave. i started in the wave that i thought best suited my predicted time so as not to get in the faster runners path.

Yeah mine is similar. I started overtaking people in hordes around mile 11 I guess. My position jumped by over 1700 between 5 miles and half way :eek: Given about 5000 people probably started in wave one and I finished 2729, I must of overtaken about half of the first wave?
