    Hard luck Paul. was a bizarre day for a lot of us. You're defintely worth a sub 2:30, go again next year.

    I'm just going to throw this out there so please don't take the head off me.

    Over training?

    Over training?
    :D highly unlikely - will do a proper post-mortem in a few days

    I was pretty happy with the race as a whole. The one problem for me was some drunk guys grabbed and broke the costume I was running in at about the three mile mark. They were utterly locked even before 1100.

    I dropped the costume and just jogged the rest. I was pretty far down the pack and there was a few empty water stations, which is odd seeing as the DCM is usually so well organised.

    3 20 for me and a bit disappointed with that. Had a PB of 3 15 last year and was trying to get beat that with a view to getting closer to 3 10. This wasn’t an unrealistic target as far as I was concerned and was given due consideration given the training\races during the year.

    I got a good years training in with pb’s in every distance along the way except HM ( missed by 1 second – 1 27 08!) as well as a solid Athlone ¾ marathon where I managed to keep up with Pronator and Slogger Jogger no less!

    Kept with 3 15 pacers for first 8 and kicked on a small bit maintaining an average pace of 7 18 until mile 23 when I had to stop with cramps and limped home after that.

    Anyway the main reason for this post is to express appreciation for the job done by the pacers and 3 15’s in particular – Krusty Liamo123 and Lecheile thanks a lot lads for giving up your race and giving others the benefit of your experience.

    P.S. After meeting with my wife and kids straight after the finish I immediately said that was it for me with marathons and I was retiring. Me being shattered at the time I didn’t realise until later she had taped it on her iphone and they are holding me to it!!!! I’ve a year to work on them!!!!!

    I just realised I never asked you how you got on, sorry!

    I suppose the reason was you were showered and changed and the rest of us looked like we'd been on the battlefield.

    4:04:11. Very happy with the time for my first one. Was on pace for a Sub 4 but the fatigue after 18 miles prevented that. The support from the RDS all the way in was phenomenal. Ran it in the Vibrams too. Onward and Downwards* for Cork next June.

    Anyone still having issues with their chip times. Just posted on DCM facebook page.
    Please note that we aware there is an issue with race finish times for some of you, this was caused by a 10 minutes power outage by one of the readers which has resulted in a small number of people receiving an incorrect time or no time being listed. Please can you e-mail your name, race number, wave and time (or no time) to office@dublinmarathon.ie and we will retrieve your chip time through a back up system. As this entails searching for each persons details manually, please bear with us as we sort through your queries as quickly as possible. Many Thanks

    was it just me or were the mile markers hard to spot? I missed at least 10.Didnt cost me anything and even got pleasntly surprised once expecting to see 18 when it was 19. I have to say its a class race the athmosphere gets better every year. I just cant crack the 2.30 and am allways thinking of trying a faster course but dont think I could leave Dublin behind.

    Yep I missed a fair few also. I love Dublin also but its not the fastest course especially towards the end of the first half. I wanted to break 2.40 but missed out by 50 secs or so. A group of us are looking at doing Berlin next yr but I'll still run an easy Dublin a few weeks later, its my favourite.(body permitting of course).;)

    As a pacer, I was looking out for them. I missed 2.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭ultrapercy


    not sure they were all accurate either.My garmin split for 5 miles is 40 seconds faster than course split and before I get the lecture I hardly deviated allmost 200 meters from racing line in first 5 miles the first mile marker was at .9 on my watch. Not griping tho its one race that I feel is value for the entry fee, love it.I ran Boston once and much perfer Dublin.

    I saw you on Nassau St. and didn't know whether to shout your real or boards name and then you were gone. I knew you were in a happy place heading for a PB.

    In fairness you were giving as much if not more encouragement to the crowd as they were giving you.

    Well done to you and your husband - looks like you're gonna have some competition at home.

    Well done to you for making it to the sidelines with two very small children. I love the fact that your daughter is only impressed with marathons when you run them:p
    When PaulieJunior runs his first marathon you can remind him he was most probably the youngest spectator at DCM 2011.

    I'm quite sure my husband is planning to overtake me in our next outing... I'll have to up my training.

    Well done marthastew, great improvement on Berlin and you're now Boston Qualified :D Pass my congrats on to the Husband as well.

    Thanks Meno, I was lucky enough to qualify for Boston in 09 and run it last year. I was running DCM for my New York qualifying time, I'm over the moon I got it.
    My husband is naturally still buzzing after Monday.

    Well done to you also, by all accounts on here you did a fantastic job of pacing and you helped a lot of people achieve their goals, hope you enjoyed the post race beers. We were dragged home by our kids to take them trick or treating, I think the wander round our neighbourhood helped, I wasn't half as sore as I normally am the day after

    Yeah, the first mile was 0.93 by the garmin and then the next 5 were pretty random distances (anywhere between 1.00 and 1.09 miles).

    After mile 8 or 9, I measured most of the miles at about 1.01 which is what you would expect.
