Works now, leads you to the Precision Timing website.

Great that they're doing it, not like they made a mess of races lately or anything :rolleyes:

Good race, not around for it this year though!

Strawberries at the end are a nice touch, unless someone eats yours while they're "holding" them. :pac:

Have the Docklands one and then Dunshaughlin myself.... but Friday will be spent in the hot tub!

Dunshaughlin is a nice run, well organised and pretty flat overall. There was a bit of a drag, I think around 7k, but very little in terms of hills outside of that. Good support along the route as well. It was my first ever 10k last year, so holds a special place in my heart.

I'm entered for this race, looking forward to it.
Did it last year, nice route though I recall a hill the seemed to go on for about a mile around the 6-7k mark?
Hoping to get under an hour, though I seem to have developed a bit of sciatica that slows me down.

Results don't seem to be available any longer (link is dead). You could flick through the Mooney's photos on RacePix and see just how bad you looked, though?!

After having done a boot camp on Thursday and the Pride 5k on Friday I considered not doing this one as I was fairly tired. With the weather not looking the best I was going to give it a miss but im glad I didn't. The last time I did it was in 2010 and it was a scorching evening so I have real fond memories of this race. I remember the support was some of the best I'd ever seen and once again the locals were out in force this evening. I decided to take it easy so paced myself about 10secs a km slower than my 5k time so it actually felt easy. The "hill" at 6.5k seemed a lot easier than 2010 and I managed to pass a good few people struggling. The wind seemed in our favour for nearly the whole race except around the 8k mark. I managed to break my PB by 40 seconds so I very happy given how under the weather I felt. Another lovely technical T-shirt and great spread after. Couldn't fault anything really except for the start which had a lot of slower runners starting up front but its a nice wide road so they were quickly dispensed with. Amazing winning time from Mark K.

Super race. One you really can't fault. Everything is right, from the registration to the start to the officials calling out the splits every mile and the feed after is legendary.

Huge PB for me tonight in 38:29, taking over a minute off my previous time.

Cracking run Niall, fair play.

1st time doing this race and it's the best race I've run - everything was spot on from parking, registration, huge support, km and mile markers and water tables. Amazing spread afterwards and nice technical top.

Oh and a 42 second PB was nice too :D

MisterDrak

Yes, a cracking race alright... Even better with a 1:30 improvement on the PB ...

You are some c*nt TRR. Totally ruthless. Slashing the hopes and dreams of novices, pacers and even fellow clubmates. Any more lows you could possibly stoop to? :mad:

Totally ruthless is right. Until he begs people to take his autograph that is.
