Apologies, there were issues with the chip timing on the night & these are being addressed.

You'll need to be a signed up member or renewing member to do this.

Basically we're trying to cut out all the paperwork and re-typing on Saturday mornings and encouraging members and day members to pre-register themselves.

career_move · 20-04-2013 2:30pm

Great race today in the k-club and divine spread after. Thanks to all concerned

Wubble Wubble · 20-04-2013 3:06pm

Agreed. Thoroughly enjoyed it, although there was more of a breeze heading away from the club than I expected beforehand. Still and all, managed to nail a PB, so feeling fairly chuffed with myself. Well done to everyone involved.

ooter · 20-04-2013 5:06pm

By far the best race I've been involved in so far,couldn't fault it.that spread that was laid on was outstanding,could only eat the fruit meself but credit where it's due.locker room was well impressive also.I'll defo be back next year.
Not having a pop at anyone involved in compiling the results at all but I lost the will to live waiting on them.:)
Finally gave up at 2 o clock cos I had a bus to catch.

Racman · 22-04-2013 12:43am

Results will be on the BHAA website in the morning. It has been a long weekend - I lost the will to live working on them!

To a certain extent, we cause delays ourselves in that we have always allowed runners to turn up on the day and enter. For members, whose details are already stored in the system, that is not a problem. For day members, whose details have to be recorded on the spot, there is a fair bit of data entry to be done. We had nearly 500 runners at the K Club. Interesting to see people turn up at 10.50am to enter a race with an 11am start.

Obviously, very few other races are operated on this basis. We have recently set up an online pre-entry system with secure payment etc and it is likely that we will try to get more people to enter in advance - possibly be forcing day members to enter in advance.

hollypink · 22-04-2013 7:57am

My first BHAA race and well it was great. Well done to all involved!

A great race from ye yet again, fair play to ye.

Results from last Saturday race should be posted shortly.

A0 · 22-04-2013 7:40pm

Does anybody know where we can find the results? BHAA website says "I’ve posted a pdf version of the results from saturday"...

Thanks.

AJAYC · 22-04-2013 8:04pm

All systems go for Donnybrook....forecast looks dry/sunny!

ooter · 24-04-2013 1:28pm

Has anyone got a link to the team results for last Saturday?

loughie · 24-04-2013 2:39pm

Open http://bhaa.ie/events/kclub-2013/ in Browser

goto details scroll down through the results or right click on the pdf to save the pdf file

Think the results are gun time. My time is 6 secs off my watch which was about how far back from the start line I started. For me difference between PB or not

(I couldn't access pdf correctly using Iphone/Ipad)

loughie · 24-04-2013 3:01pm

PDF does not contain team results. Just read your post fully!

A0 · 24-04-2013 4:30pm

Results were meant to be posted on Tuesday evening as the PDF doc. was provisional. Seems to be hard work...

ooter · 24-04-2013 4:53pm

Definitely gun time,I waited at the back at the start and my watch time is about 15 secs less than my chip time.

A0 · 24-04-2013 8:00pm

Results are on the site, see below (he-he):

At BHAA races, there is one set of time recording mats, which are at the finish. The system records the finish time as you cross the finishing line. All starters are given the same start time. Typically the number of runners at our races would not take more than a few seconds to cross the start line.

Incidentally, if anyone does not see their time on the results list, send an email to info at bhaa.ie with approximate details of your time and we will investigate. Discrepancies can arise if an incorrect number is keyed in at registration etc.

Thanks Racman that explains it. This was my first BHAA race. Great race and excellent 'packing' afterwards!

maryishairy · 29-04-2013 10:35am

Are the RTE result times accurate?
My watch had me about 15-20 seconds slower than my recorded time?
Was it an accurate 5 miles?

Reads · 29-04-2013 12:29pm

Enjoyable race on Saturday, thank you.

A0 · 29-04-2013 1:00pm

Good to see the results were up after the race.

QandA · 29-04-2013 1:52pm

Great race on Saturday...my first BHAA and definitely not my last!

Thanks to all who were part of the organisation & well done to all the prize-winners!

Great to see a good number of fellow Raheny Shamrock vests taking part. Well done all!

ooter · 30-04-2013 1:02pm

Does anyone know what happens if you go from one age category to another,do you stay at the same category till the end of the year or do you move up a category straight away?

emerald007 · 30-04-2013 1:12pm

age category is based on your age at each event - assuming we've your correct date of birth!

ooter · 30-04-2013 1:27pm

That's great,Thanks emerald.

statss · 01-05-2013 10:24am

anyone do the Sandymount beach 5k before? I'm debating weather it's worthwhile to do that instead of my usual Tuesday club speed session.

You generally get lovely underfoot conditions, a bit like running in new shoes with an extra bounce & always a great atmosphere pre & post race.

MisterDrak · 28-05-2013 9:15am

Anyone running Dunboyne tonight ?

Yup- looking forward to it! You running?

MisterDrak · 28-05-2013 9:47am

Yep, will be taking it nice and easy after the Half on Sunday..

There was a good spread after the race last year...

average_runner · 28-05-2013 12:49pm

Yeah i be there, should be a good race.

average_runner · 29-05-2013 7:55am

Great race last night and perfect weather. Well done all in Dunboyne.

Dunboyne is always on top of their game when its comes to organizing races

MisterDrak · 29-05-2013 8:05am

Yeah, great course and a nice finish on the track. Organisation excellent and a great spread after...

Big crowd last night also...

JosDel · 29-05-2013 11:22am

Yeah agree with above, great race, venue, organisation and grub...a bit hot for me! found the 2nd half tough

AJAYC · 07-06-2013 7:00pm

The summer league (6th challenge) moves to the hallowed confines of Trinity College on Wednesday. This grass track around the cricket grounds is a well maintained & manicured surface to run on. First race starts at 7 with the last one at 9 and a choice of distances, a mile plus a 2k, or you can run both if you want. Registration opens at 6.15 in the Moyne Institute which overlooks the track. These exceptional races in unique City Centre surroundings are a must for all members with a great atmosphere guaranteed & a lively pub within millimetres. Some runners wear spikes on the night which give an advantage if the grass is damp, most don’t. Races are divided into standards & there is an event specific team competition. We may not have balmy heat but hopefully it will be dry & certainly, fun.

What time does the registration close at on Wed evening? I have an appointment from 6:30 to 7:30 so I should make my grade 2000m race (Grade 9-10) which is scheduled for 8:42. It might be advisable to get a friend to register for me?
