I hope this isn't suggesting freebie points for me! My pride won't let me take them

Beat my 30 year old self by 20 seconds today :eek:
17:55
Get in!!
Check out my activity on Strava: https://strava.app.link/4OJceXsoKfb
The 4th km was grim central. Every step into a headwind. I was fading physically and mentally. Lost 10 seconds on previous split. Got it back by the end! Progressing nicely, happy days 0 -

So it was a DNF for me
Had planned to go out today although it was later than expected having had to drop a little to the park to meet her friend.
The training has been inconsistent and only easy miles for the last 2 weeks so was going out to try and see where I was at.
Getting up to the top of the Tolka Valley park the wind was much more blustery than I expected so I thought I'd take it behind me for the first k, work nto it for the next 2 and then behind again for home. Started steady and didn't tear off, which was nice for a change, got into a rhythm and then turned into the headwind. At 1.7k I looked at the watch, not for pace but just out of suffering, headed up the hill and at 2.5k I just stopped it. Comfortably uncomfortable was just uncomfortable.
There was only 500meters to go until I turned the corner and had the wind behind me but I just couldn't do it. It's a really strange feeling to quit but I think I just wasn't ready for it.
Thanks for organising, it was great to see all the reports, cracking times and the chatter.0 -

Had a go, knocked time off last years effort.
Not training for speed but delighted to knock over a minute off last year
Cursed my decision to use Tramore Valley park with it's hills. (Had to compare like with like, having done the last one there...)
Cursed Rob Heffernan for putting his name to a trail with so much hill in it.
Cursed my decision to switch to a different loop on the second lap.
Cursed that lap for having an even steeper uphill drag that took what little good was left in me.
Cursed every brain cell I had for not realising that the second lap plus the first lap didn't equal finishing at my starting point, meaning;
Cursed my poor calves & lungs as I finished up hill
Cursed the intense pain these piddly distances inflict - there's nothing like to long slow burn of a proper distance :P
Subsequently:
Laughed at Lambay Island breaking into a bloody deserted park in Dublin to do his TT :rolleyes:
Daydreamed that with a little practice and a level course, I might break 20, someday, somehow ...0 -

Fair play! You're doing some great training. That sub 20 won't be too far away once you stop running laps with hills0 -

I gave it everything and came in at 21:17. I even thought I was going to puke which usually means I'm doing it right :P
Slower than my predicted time sadly but I can honestly say it was all I could do on the days.
Thanks so much for organising this and the race reports have been great to read

Absolutely gutted here, I done my weekly runs Monday / Wednesday / Friday and felt great - my Friday night run was propably the most enjoyable run I've done since I started my C25K plan in February so I had high expectations of beating my time Saturday morning. Ran 7.3kms and loved it.
(Now for the petty excuses )Got up at 8am Saturday morning and straight away I was feeling off, runny nose and aches in my left leg up near my hip / groin area. Thought I had just slept funny. Had breakfast and thought I would be able to walk it off, it felt a little better after an hour or that so I decided to put on my running gear and head out for the TT. I always warm up with a brisk 5 minute walk and I started to get sore after about 2 minutes - kept going to the 5, set the watch and headed off running - I got about 300m and had it didn't feel right so I decided to stop, I was barely able to walk. My first running injury.
I walked slowly back to my house and relaxed for the day and it fely better by that afternoon, so much so I done a spin on the bicycle. Got up yesterday morning and said I'd do it today but walking down the stairs it got sore again so I said no running for me for a few days, I went for a spin on the bicycle instead (doesn't cause any pain at all) Ironically I'm feeling fine today but am still not going to chance running for a few days. A good friend of mine is a physio so if i'm still sore wendesday, I'll go see him.
Very disappointed here as I was looking forward to it and was hoping to beat the 32 mins for only the second time. Looking at my friday times if i take out the first kilometer (which includes my warm up walk) I done the next 5k in 34:13 and that was at a leisurely pace so I know i wold have been near or better than my target time of 32:20.

Very slow with the final results here. Not like last year.

Final Results!
Some amount of work to transition from google docs to a table :cool::( Plus the usual tracking links through Strava etc.. :cool: Big thank you to both ReeReeG and Zico10 for supporting this month. You really helped and its so much appreciated!
Final results, judges decisions applied. Unless there is a glaring mistake, we move on
Well done to all who participated, and particularly those who scored PRs, came close, beat last year or just had a great story to tell.
The Results are sorted by the Monthly Challenge points. If you have not been taking part in those, its a series of monthly running challenges and this month your points will count towards the overall total. Well done to LaineyFrecks who topped the lot in this months challenge with a maximum 20 points
The "AG" column is your percentage vs the world record for your age group, if thats something of interest. Podium results are below and a breakdown of how points were applied is below too.
