    Great race today, as usual! Did anyone else think that it was a bit difficult to spot where exactly the finish line was? Even when I was in the chute, I wasn't sure if I'd actually finished the race or not!! And the clock seemed to be broken! :( Really enjoyed it though!

    i was approx 43 seconds quicker than last year and it was the same course this year so it shouldn't be short.....weather was an awful lot kinder this year too.... wind last year was unbelieveable on the wide avenue but was grand this time around which would aid quicker times....

    pity there was no cup of tea with the biccies.... was surprised they moved it out of hall on that count alone.........

    christeb has it 170 meters short but I wouldn't have thought Raheny shamrocks would let sth like that happen. What did your garmins say?
    What did the winner run?
    As you could judge of that.

    heard the winner Cillian saying after that he ran 15.10 and while he is capable of going quicker that time suggests it wasn't short....the garmins could be affected by running under the trees at diff points on the course??

    Don't know the route myself but yep the trees can be a right bugger, my garmin has acted up a couple of times on me in marlay park and as I said previously I would imagine Raheny shamrocks would be spot on with their measuring.

    I don't thnk it would be garmin friendly route actually, been thinking about and with all the trees and a good few sharp turns there is more of a chance of wrong reading, So i'd believe Raheny on the distance, so i'm counting it as a pb untill someone goes and proves its short ;)

    i wanna believe the distance too lads cos i got a pb as well......

    the way i see it too, when it's a two lap plus course and the there are absolutely no hills, it's very condusive for fast times..........we all prob races other 5ks over courses that have hills on them and while obviously u can argue that u get the downhill on the far, there is nothing like a little hill for destroying the legs and a pb:P

    todays winner ran 15-17 in another 5k race on the cork bhaa calendar on tue nite, so with the flat course today, todays distance sounds accurate doesn't it?

    Always out for the free biccies and tea. I swear you go to races for the grub. You get out of it what you put in. #after running sub 3 in cork a top 10 position today and a pb is fair going.
