Dungarvan 10k - 28/02/2010

Daithi BC · 19-02-2010 6:55pm #1

After 6 months out injured, I'm planning a low key comeback on Sunday the 28th in Dungarvan. Ran this race last year and found it very well organised. Looks like the course will be a bit different this year, but hopefully should still be fast.

Is anyone else heading down?

Def be there to give Sosa a beating. The food after it is worth the entry fee. Although its lent its 9 days away. You ran well last year.

Looking forward to it myself....
See you there VR

Is the start easy to get to? I'm sure it'll be signposted on the day, but I don't really know Dungarvan that well.

I think it starts and finishes where the 10 miler finished in January.

Showry may confirm this and let us know about the route

Nah, the race to do on this date is the Eagle AC 5 miler in Carrigaline.

What time is it on at? If you had a helicopter standing by, could you do both?

As VR says, the food alone is worth the entrance money to Dungarvan! If you're barged out of the way when heading for the bourbon cream biscuits, then that'll be me. Sorry.

Race starts at 11:00. As for food afterwards, nothing can beat the offering that the Eagles will put on!

Looks like the forecast isn't too bad for Sunday, after having been for a gale and lashing rain earlier in the week.

Is the start in the centre of town now?

Sosa · 26-02-2010 7:32pm

It starts and finishes where the 10m finished

Just want to post what a great race this was. Efficient registration, changing rooms with hot showers, accurate course with people at the splits shouting out times, good atmosphere, tea and sandwiches afterwards and results online before 9pm the same night. All for €8!

Good to meet VR and Sosa before and afterwards, and I was delighted to set a new PB of 36:02 in my first race in 9 months. If only I'd been 3 seconds faster....

Wow. Great result, DBC. How fast can you be if you aren't returning from injury?
