Hi lads. Just wondering if the first round of the league will go ahead tomorrow if these conditions persist?

christeb · 01-12-2010 10:11AM

highly highly doubtful lads, the 1m course roads are quiet and therefore iced up pretty bad

El Director · 01-12-2010 10:55AM

I really hope they have the sense to call it off. I'd be coming from Blanch and I am determined to do 6 of the 8, I know I will be missing DEc 8th and Feb 23 so if it's on tonight I will be stupid enough to travel!

christeb · 01-12-2010 11:49AM

Official word in - it's OFF

christeb · 07-12-2010 10:05AM

Postponed again this week lads, in case there was any doubt. Starts Weds week - the 15th with a (brrrr, chilly) 3 miler

christeb · 15-12-2010 09:28AM

Rd 1 tonight

I fell off the bike last night, ankle is swollen so not sure I'll be toeing the line. I'll be down to support if I'm not

chinguetti · 15-12-2010 09:58AM

Hi christeb, i won't make it tonight but would plan on doing a few in the new year. Enjoy the summer league and good for a bit of speed work.

Have the rest of the schedule been refixed yet due to the last few weeks bad weather? If so, can you post it up when you have it.

Thanks,

C

Rd 2 is confirmed for Weds week, 22nd Dec. I'll be away unfortunately.

17:37 for me tonight, very happy with the way things panned out in the end. Laps were pretty consistent and took a couple of scalps from the club.

time translates as 30:17 over 5 so if I can absorb a bit more training in the next 4-5 weeks then I should be close to breaking that one. It would be a perfect start to the year!

christeb · 21-12-2010 11:56AM

(obviously) postponed for tomorrow night - which is good cos I'll hopefully be in a different country

Train safe and we'll see you back on the circuit in the New Year

christeb · 05-01-2011 09:36AM

Rd 2 is next week lads, Weds 12th. I believe it's a 2 miler. I would say Rd 3 would be the 19th, with the 4th Rd being Feb to allow for a break before the Raheny 5.

Thanks dude, plan to make both myself.

chinguetti · 10-01-2011 08:40PM

Hi Christeb, is the 2 mile race still going ahead on Wednesday evening? The website doesn't give any details. Thanks

christeb · 10-01-2011 10:40PM

Hey - yep we're racing on Weds, although I'm led to believe it's actually another 3 miler.

El Director · 12-01-2011 06:05PM

hey lads, is the club house in the same place as the reg for the raheny 5 miler?
Also are there shower facilities? Cheers.

christeb · 12-01-2011 06:23PM

clubhouse is here - green door beside the Scout Den. There are showerse, never used 'em but I think they're fine.

El Director · 12-01-2011 11:23PM

Perfect race conditions tonight for my first Raheny Winter league race. Nice to finally put two faces to two names, Macanri and Christeb. Nice to meet ye lads and strong running from both of you.

chinguetti · 12-01-2011 11:33PM

Enjoyed it too as always and good to nearly do even splits for each mile. hope to make next week too.

El Director · 12-01-2011 11:42PM

I think the next race is in two weeks actually, a 2 miler.

El Director · 21-01-2011 11:21AM

Have the results been posted for last weeks race yet? I cannot find them if so. Cheers.

Nein, our webmaster was away in America for a few weeks and is playing catch up. Not sure if they'll make it up...

El Director · 22-01-2011 01:25PM

Thanks Christeb, would you believe http://www.rahenyshamrock.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1493&Itemid=51

Fair play to him/her!

christeb · 26-01-2011 11:23AM

Rd 4 tonight

christeb · 27-01-2011 07:37AM

Results

Happy with my 11:29 - PB. I slowed by ca. 4-5 seconds finishing to try to keep some juice in the legs for Sunday. Started out pretty strong (5:38) as I didn't want any of lads sheltering in behind me on All Saints Rd, as that'd be asking for trouble. Resulted in a lonely race but I never saw them.

Pretty sure the enxt round is week after next - 3rd Feb.

christeb · 08-02-2011 10:55AM

Next Rd on tomorrow - the site is a bit slow for me but I think it's a 3 miler. I'll be giving it a miss, if someone sees me togged on the start line please trip me up in the first 100m

I'll be there. This time with a target of beating my last 3 miler there a month ago - 20:08

here goes.

El Director · 10-02-2011 12:13AM

Good night for racing with a little drizzle. Bettered my time by nearly a minute so happy out. Well done again Raheny on a good race.

JosDel · 13-02-2011 07:39PM

I notice the final results are up since Friday, Disappointed they did'nt include those with chip problems.
