Nice one, look forward to this. What's the difference between precision timing and active (other than 20c!)

yaboya1 · 24-04-2014 3:15pm

This is an excellent race.
Can't say enough good things about it.
Fast, flat course, plenty of food & drink afterwards, great t shirt and official time pinned on the wall within minutes of crossing the finish line.
Very much looking forward to it.

Just gives you the choice of who to enter through depending on if you have an account set up with one or other.

digger2d2 · 24-04-2014 7:46pm

If anyone has a group of 6 or more and is interested in a group discount and how to enter said group then PM me and I'll point you in the right direction.

I'm worried my tshirt might not match my shorts if I am to believe the colour the t-shirts will be going by what Stephen told me

Fair play to sportsworld, more posters for this in Terenure than all the politicians combined.

I don't know as all I did was offer to help out if needed a body for 40 or 45.

So I think I got 45

adrian522 · 02-05-2014 6:31pm

Wow Never heard of pacers on a race this short. I'll be aiming for 40 mins or thereabouts I reckon.

As Adrian says, you can collect on Sunday morning from 9-10.30 in Terenure College Gym, would suggest you don't til the last minute though

SnailsPace · 13-05-2014 8:33pm

Last year pickup was a bit of a disaster, I went really early, big queues and they made me come back later in the day for tshirt.

Race Pacers for 30

Guess who's one of the 30min pacers?. Based on my maths = 6 min miles / 3m 45s km's pace but the key question for Sunday will be pace will the first 1km be done in

Pacing Mule · 14-05-2014 8:18am

Any advice on parking spots ? Mrs mule will have 2 kids in tow. So trying to balance off getting there early to park versus 2 bored / frustrated kids !

Would be off the m50 through templeogue I imagine. What time do you think we would need to be there at to get parking close enough to the course ?
