    There was no start time recording off the chip last night. The chip was solely used for recording the finish time. All were measured from the starting gun time.

    Fair enough.

    I'll still ask anyway. I'd like to know how it all works.

    Some great pics at the above link! These guys are amazingly generous with their time and photos and deserve a big thumbs up.
    ...while running a 15:3x and 16:1x times. Incredible stuff.
    How did you get on Bill?

    45+ People under 17 mins. Must be without a doubt the fastest road 5k in Ireland. Well done cwgatlin and wideball. Some serious times. Looks like a solid return to form for David Heffernan too.

    The quality of that race is mighty impressive alright - I took 22 seconds off my finish time in Lucan 2 weeks ago and went from 31st place to 65th! :D

    I'm really pleased thanks Gary. First time under 18:00 for me with a satisfying 17:49! It doesn't take long to start looking for the next milestone though :cool:

    Hopefully catchup Saturday, I'll be looking for the stash of craft beers in the big ice bucket!

    It was too easy KC, 500 metre net drop, wind behind our backs all the way, on sections of the course we got to run on a travelator and I'm not going to mention the happy ending back in deh dishco :D;)

    In fairness to the quality of the race, belcarra mentioned that he'd never seen so many people doing a warm down.... For some other races the warm down consists of opening another packet of Monster Munchies ;)

    Yeah precision races often don't have a start mat but will have proper chip times. Only if you run under a 'start' gantry though.

    You all are so obviously in it together and lying about your times :P

    Now that's value for money. All club races should be doing this. That'd definitely differentiate them from the Samsung night runs, and the Rock'n'Roll sh1te.

    Having had my morning coffee I'm happy to say Ive calmed down and recovered from my early morning strop and am delighted with my time. Will just have to make it official next time :) There are lots of good 5k races coming up :D

    They have you officially listed at 18:48 now, but I reckon you should have claimed 18:46 to make a house PB and maybe get digger out of his slump ;)

    I filled in the form for missing results, the time matchs what I gave them (the time on the finish gantry), I assume they can check it using the video? Feels like its not official!

    This aint no slump meno'hanlon.... This is a calculated recovery from a disaster marathon... I'm letting the body talk and I'm listening.... This morning for instance the body was whispering ''You don't have amazing guns'' and do you know what?..... The body was speaking the truth, shocking but true!! ;):D

    Congrats to everyone on all the amazing PBs:D it almost makes me wish I'd joined you although I'm pretty sure I'd have struggled to finish let alone PB!

    That is just too shocking!!! I'm willing to accept that your legs and body are tired after Boston but there is no way Officer Digger's guns;) are not amazing, if that's true what's next? Claralara smashing your 5K PB:D?

    The young lad, never made it. Last i saw him was holding up the show at the lucan exit of the M50 with the front half of his car crushed!!
    !!

    If 'the young lad' is who I think he is it appears he's not been around these parts since ?? hope he's ok ?

    Of course I could be wrong or that's a windup that I didn't recognise :o
