Dec 6th.
Europeans on Dec 13th.
The plan might be Dublin Inter on Nov 29th as build up race, give the Nat. Novice all you've got as peak race, then try to piggy back the peak with a good 10k on the 12th Dec, aware? Then lie in bed for 2 weeks only getting up for Xmas parties. Then start all over again.:D0 -

Are you sure it's 12 - is that not just for County teams? I thought club teams were still 8 to run? In any case, it's only 4 to score, so you don't need 12.0 -

Great thanks, inters doesnt sound too badRacing Flat wrote: »I'd say the standard at the top and at the bottom will be the same, but there might be slightly less in the Inter. Also as it is longer, at 8k, there's more time for it to get spread out, so it tends to be more of a single file finish with less group sprint finishes than in Novice. For some reason I think it's easier to do well in Inter - maybe just because numbers are smaller... 0 -

Well after a 2 week period that I was finding it hard to run 9 min miles So I basically decided to jsut do easy runs all week. Started to feel a little better on Thursday , Friday and Sat so was happy enough to race this weekend. I know that I'm not in great shape at the moment but havent races in so long.
Got to the course early and had a quick luck around, at this point their were 5 swans swimming on the course so that basically tells you all you need to know about conditions.
Warm up was a little shorter then I'd usually do maybe about 1 mile followed by some strides, but this was partly due to my race plan too. I was planning on starting slow and grow into the race if possible.
Race started and by the looks of it a smaller crowd then the Dublin Novice but that didnt matter at all. Gun went and the field ran away from me and I was right at the back, the first 400m were slowish then I started to get into it.
There was very little grass left on the course and most of it was mud, So didnt bother trying to look for good ground just run the best racing line I could see, this involved some nice sections of cold water and mud.
Lap 1 finished and I think I was 2 from last at this point so started to run a little harder and close the gap to the gorup in front, I think I may have over cooked it at this point as I caught 1 or 2 people but wasnt feeling great. Lap 3 was a real slog jsut tired to hold onto a group of people but drifted back, lap 4 was the same was working hard, legs were tired but left it a bit late to catch the guy in front of me, Think I finished second last today but very happy to have run this race and its something to build on next year.
Well done to all the Boards AC runners who ran today was a hard race.
Total distance 5.38 miles , its a long 8k 0 -
