    Does anyone have a garmin profile for the Enniscorthy 10k? I assume this is fairly hilly?

    It is a hilly one but you make up the time and then some on the downhills. Looped course so you not getting unfair advantage but I still have clocked my last 2 PBs on this course. Would recomnend this one big time if you are looking for fast times

    The Hope & Dream 10 mile will take place for the first time on April 1st in Enniscorthy. I have no affiliation with the race but hope to run it. It's in aid of the local Hope Centre & Share a Dream Foundation.

    Rather than charge an entry fee they're asking all participants to try raise €100 in sponsorship. They hope to get at least 1,000 entries and thus raise at least €100,000. Both great local causes.

    More details available at http://hopeanddream10.com/

    It's great to see another new race on the calendar in Wexford and especially when it's one that raises money for such good causes......... let's hope it gets the 1,000 entries, looking forward to it

    Would it be standard for there to be no water stop on a club 10k run? Didn't realise there wouldn't be one :(

    Quality run event otherwise and a lovely course, and a PB to boot!

    To be honest, I didn't even realise until this morning that there wasn't one. No need for one for a 10k especially in those conditions yesterday.

    Could this race be a little short? Some of the times seem a tad quick compared to other recent races, found a few Garmin links and none of them are over 6.2. I might be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time.

    I clocked 6.24 most people I chatted to had it shorter though.

    Edit: Think most people figured it was down to all the cornering and cutting the corners short.

    This is the big debate. I clocked it at 6.18 by my garmin. But having said that we turned a lot of corners and I think thats were the disprencies are coming from. Cant say for sure, would like to hear from the race organisers to see how they measured the course. Personally though I feel the time I ran wasn't overly flattering, the effort expended felt like a 33:xx 10k.

    the corners could definitely account for it - but the time differences between it and the heath 10k are massive. I don't think anyone could ever accuse you of not giving it everything in a race :) - you managed to close the gap that David from KCH had on you from the heath race.

    But Linda Byrne was 2min faster than her Heath 10k time. In an event where every second is fought for - 2 min from a 34 min time is a lifetime. Maybe she was chasing a bonus or whatever, and in fairness she is at the extreme end of the differences but pretty much everyone under 36min picked up a minute between the two events. You ran them both, am i being a bit harsh?

    A good course measurer will ensure that the shortest possible route is measured taking in to account the corners. I've seen it done on other courses and it can take many attempts to get it right, particulary on some parts of the course with twists and turns. An athletes reading should never be shorter than race distance but many will come out longer than it because they won't have cut the corners.

    A course will never be measured 100% accurate but it should never be shorter. This course was AAI certified. There is a valley on one part of the course. Just wondering did that affect GPS measurement for some athletes.

    The start was also completely covered over by trees for about 100m - 200m. Not sure if that would also have caused issues. I know it did for me picking up the GPS for the mapmyrun app. Don't know if the Garmin watches would be better than that.

    Quick times could also be down to the last 2k being mostly downhill as well.

    Remember if you clocked 6.18m, that's a mere 112m shorter than 10km. 112m wouldn't explain times being 2 minutes quicker than expected.

    I think you'll find it's only actually 32 meters shorter than 10K.
    At the pace Linda Byrne was racing this would take her between 6- 6.5 seconds.

    wextipp
    Registered Users Posts: 344 ✭✭wextipp


    Good point Dilbert. I calculate 112m would take off 22secs based on the pace it was run. To take off 2 minutes it would need to be short by 608 metres. No way is it that short. It is AAI certified and some courses are more friendly to GPS measuring than others and as said before trees and course contour can affect readings.

    I was dubious about this too lads after PBing on a bad day, but looking at the GPS trail just now I can see where the distance was lost on the Garmin:

    EIqsV.png

    Trees, valleys, sharp turns etc. did the damage. I got 6.14 but good to know that the distance is accurate. Still a killer of a course :(

    Also, the Heath 10k was windy as f*ck, it was dead calm in Enniscorthy.

    + 1 to that, and it's on a great course, last 3k are lightening fast. definitelly PB potential. Much better in my opinion that the Enniscorthy 10K course.

    Anyone have a course profile of this one?

    Was considering the Samsung Night race in Dublin (for all of 5 seconds) but this one is less than half the price and is only a spin down the N11:D

    Could not fault the organisation of the Enniscourty 10k so if its anything like that, everyone will be a winner;)

You ran them both, am i being a bit harsh?

    Theres a few things that you need to take into account. First off when I ran the heath 10k I was only coming back after my hamstring injury. At The end of that race I was disapointed because I felt like I didnt empty the tank, I had a lot more in me. So I definitely felt like 34:44 or whatever it was, wasnt a true relfection of what I could do. Ditto for Linda, she didnt race that 10k full out. I mean a week later in raheny she took over 20 seconds out of me so she was ramping it up week by week. In enniscorty she was racing maria mc cambridge for the whole distance, the two of them pushed each other all the way, I could see the battle taking place just up the road from me. I mean Linda finished just behind Bernard roe who is a great athlete and a tough bastard, so 32:xx is a fair reflection of the effort she put in on the day. I think she raced out of her skin and I also think the fact that she'll be going to the olympics later this year has something to do with her great form. She knows that 2:36 isnt good enough at the olympics so shes highly motivated to get as fast as possible between now and then. I know if I was on my way to the olympics I'd be like a man possessed, so I think her main goal is whats driving her to knock out great times.
    Sure anyway the national 10k is in april and we all know thats an accurate course and a tough one, so anytime you get on that is a true reflection of your ability. Im in for it and I'd say linda byrne will be there too, so for sure you'll get to see who stands where.

    Out of interest how do you the know the 'National 10k' is an accurate course. The Enniscorthy 10k was advertised as an 'AAI certified' course. Surely that means it is an accurate course too. What is the process used to get a course 'AAI certified'.

    Ballycarney 10K is down to be on Saturday 28th April at 3.00pm.

    This is the day after the County Senior Road race on Friday 27th at 7.00pm.

    Anyone any idea if Ballycarney will still go ahead as planned?.

    Shouldn't make a difference. The Ballycarney race is a fun/charity event and doesn't have an AAI permit/insurance. The Friday race is an official AAI championship event. Different set of athletes.

    I know the local running scene very well and last year out of the 80 odd runners that took part in the Ballycarney 10K approx 60 of those are memners of running clubs in County Wexford and as such are all egible to run the senior 10K on the Friday night. I know not all of them will run it but even if half go it will impact quiet significantly on the Ballycarney 10K. Ans as such with it being a charity event it might be more beneficial to the chosen charity to move the race back a week or two.

    I bow to your local knowlege. I got the impression from the profile on the Run Irland site that it was just a fun run. It is a pity they didn't link up with a local club and it could avoided such a clash. It has on-line entry so don't think it could be moved if entries have come in already.

    Now that the Ballycarney Charity 10K has been moved to 12th May an AAI permit has been applied for and the course will be officially measured. Originally the County Senior Race was scheduled for 15th April. The switch to 27th April meant that we had no choice but to change our date. Anyone who had already entered on line has been offered a refund if the new date does not suit.

    This is good news. It is bad enough everyone else ignoring the permit system but AAI associated events should set an example to everyone else. It also means more money for the charity as several hundred euro doesn't need to be forked out on insurance for the event and everyone is covered, runners and organizers.

    The whole area is a ticking time bomb as regards insurance. Someone is going to get hurt and someone else is going to get sued big time. If any public race is organized and people are charged entry and there are runners from outside the organizing club taking part then either a permit must be obtained or seperate insurance obtained. Otherwise race director's could be liable for any neglegence when it comes to health and safety.

    This is a novel course around the 12 Castledockrell windmills and has stunning views across to Mt Leinster and the Blackstairs mountains. Have run the route on several occasions. It is excellent underfoot. Should be a good turnout of Wexford athletes there.

    The 4 Mile race in Ballymurn has been brought forward to 3rd August. These Slaney Olympic League races are open to all. Details are on slaneyolympic.com.
    Online entry for the Ballycarney 10K in aid of Oxfam is on runireland.com. The race has an AAI permit. Great course for a PB...see comments from last year.;)

    The 4 Mile race in Ballymurn has been brought forward to 3rd August. These Slaney Olympic League races are open to all. Details are on slaneyolympic.com.
    Online entry for the Ballycarney 10K in aid of Oxfam is on runireland.com. The race has an AAI permit. Great course for a PB...see comments from last year.;)
    If you click on the race name in the table above it will bring you to the event web-site. The date is now changed on it for Ballymurn.
    If anyone has any suggestions on the format or descriptions on the table let me know and I'll change them.
