    Hi guys we are really hoping to get a team out for this. We had a great time last year and it would be nice to try and improve on our placing.
    It's short notice so sorry about that.
    If your up for it stick your name down on this thread.
    It's on the 3rd of October in the phoenix park.

    I would love to, but with the marathon on the Horizon and no pratcise running cross country, I don't think it would be a good idea.

    I'm around if required. Never ran 3k or cross country so no idea how I'll get on. Is there a seniors novice section for over 40's?:D

    Sorry guys, would love to have run this, but it's just not a runner so soon after Berlin. Legs are not in any shape for running and definitely not in any shape for racing. When are the intermediates? Maybe It's the right time to start planning/recruiting for that race?

    It would be too late but should be possible to get a late entry, need to know late tonight as I'll have to change my plan for the weekend if there is a team. Would need at least 4 people to run.

    Once you have been registered and paid up for 2010 then there is no problem at all, maybe pm peckham to clarify .

    Is that the same xc race i did in Tymon Park last year where the swans where having fun in the lakes of water that were around the course? God, it was a right slog in terrible conditions.

    Anyone know what the story with this is now?
    There doesn't seem to have been a massive show of interest for this.

    I think it's a no go at this stage, it was very short notice but I like krustys idea of targeting the intermediates and yep chinguetti thats the same race as last year :D
    After the weekend I'll change the thread title and we'll aim to get a team or 2 out for inters.

    Hmm... Florence marathon isn't on your list..
    Cross country, on the the other hand....

    I am planning to do the BHAA X-Cross race on the 9th, (at tempo run pace), so will already have nailed that item on the list.

    Ah that was a great day, arrived to the car park and couldnt get out of the car due to a flood and that was as dry as it got... If it wasnt for woddle and his pink umbrella they day wouldn't have been funny.

    But its not too bad a course at all if conditions are good.

    Oh yeah it was fun alright, the driving wind and rain, the puddles where the swans were living in so they had to move the course and the inability to have any grip on any section of the course. How no one had to pulled out of the place was a miracle.

    Woddle and the pink umbrella down the bottom of the hill i had forgotten that.

    Pity there will be no boards team at this tomorrow. I'll be running with Liffey Valley myself, my first XC race and really looking forward to it. I am making XC a priority this winter, I am hoping it helps make me a stronger runner for next year.

    Really enjoyed my first XC race. It's certainly a different animal to road races. A lot of jostling at the start, being a narrow course I went out hard at the start so as not to get caught in the bottle neck. Was going well but the last 500m was a real struggle, just need to build the running fitness, very competitive and highly intensive stuff-loved it.
