Mr Slow

Hi all,

I'm a novice training for my first DCM, running 13 miles on Saturday morning next starting at Knockmaroon gate circa 9.30am pace is about 10 min/mile

Anyone want to tag along?

RayCun

I've a 12 mile LSR that day, I might tag along for a few miles - which is the Knockmaroon gate?

(post this on the novices thread too, there's a few on 10 min/mile LSRs)

Knockmaroon gate is in the south west corner of the park,

Can you send me a link to that thread as I can't see it?

RayCun

This one! You can too see it

Okay, I know the gate. I can be there for about 9.30, though I'll already be halfway through my LSR...

Hi Shels,

I'm doing the half marathon route Saturday morning around 9 if you're interested. The Wexican is up for it and Raycun is gonna tag along for a few miles - Rainbow Kirby might also come.:)

chinguetti

To merge my response to the previous two, i intend to do 15 on Saturday morning so i'ld be interested in making it for 9.

Is there a common start line at the 10 mile start and what is the pace thats planned?

The Start line for the 13 is just below the roundabout coming from the Castleknock gate don't know where the start for the 10 is though.

Same place. I think what chinguetti was asking was if that was where people were planning on meeting on Sat?

Had hoped to join you guys for a few miles too, but that early on a Saturday while on holidays isn't going to happen!

Aha, I'm gonna park on Ordnance road so maybe at the Framleigh turnoff? My pace is a blistering 9 - 10 minute mile

Sorry for sticking my nose in, but why don't you arrange to meet up at the Papal cross car park?

By meeting near a designated start line, everyone knows the route eliminating discussion on the best way to go:)

chinguetti

Thanks to xebec and gerard65 for the input.

Well i'll park in the Furze Road as its the nearest place but as i'm not round the weekend of the half, i'll be doing the 10 mile circuit.

Tis the lack of a Garmin makes my routes been pre-detemined. Now where my chalk and board?;)

You need the Garmin Forerunner XXV:

chinguetti

Thats the one for me but it might be a bit heavy on the wrist though Krusty:D

I'll be doing the 10 mile route on Sunday morning at 9am, also at around 9 min pace. Better start these lsrs for the DM

Mr Slow

We're starting at the Knockmaroon gate tomorrow and running the 13 mile route, the extra bit at the start will shave a few loops off of the route making it a smoother run. Starting 9ish! P.M. for mobile if interested.:D

What he said.

chinguetti

Mrslow, you're right. Sorry brain ain't firing today as i'm doing 15 miles tomorrow so 9am at knockmaroon gate it is then.

I'll pm you my mobile just in case.

menoscemo

hey guys, this may be a crazy Idea but I am flying back from new york tonight, landing at 5am saturday morning, so depending on how I feel (i.e. if I can't sleep), I may join you at knockmaroon gate. If not I will probably joing the sunday group. I will recognise Chinguetti but if someone could PM me their mobile, that would be great.
