    No sprinting for the line.
    Please cross the finish line in a controlled and safe manner, sprinting across the line, while dramatic,

    can be dangerous and can risk injury to you and to fellow competitors.

    ah now really :rolleyes:

    It's the job of the race organisers to keep people moving once they finish, and keep space clear in the finish area. You can't tell runners to go slower to make things safer. You have to make things safe enough that runners can go fast!

    Fantastic race as per usual...love everything about it, challenging course with the "hills" in the 2nd half, the support from the locals, people calling out times, residents out serving water, great feed after and amazing weather...15 sec PB (36'33") for me which I'm happy about since I ran the Pride Run the night before and did my 2nd fastest 5k ever.

    Really fantastic race. It was flat or downhill with a tail wind for first 6km and it got challenging for the next 2 and then flat for home.

    10/10 for race organisation and a fine spread afterwards!

    Not quite a pb at 46:50, but that's lack of training more than anything else.

    Well done dunshaughlin for this really great race. Only down side was no XL tshirts, but not a big issue. If anyone wants it, I have a large tshirt.

    Muppet man.

    Yep, super race. My 5th Dunshaughlin and my 5th PB. Between the heat and head-wind, it was tough going in the second half, but it's such a great standard (particularly good this year), that you can't help but be dragged along to a good time. Ca't think of a better 10k race in the country.

    Not really. She was ahead up to 9km, and I passed her with around 500m to go. She shouted at me to help her get home, as she was trying to break 33 minutes. I managed to drag her along for 100m, before I started to die a death, and she passed me again. My training buddy went past at this stage, so I jumped in behind him, and we all picked up the pace, finishing in 33:09/33:11/33:13.

    Have to say, I let myself down in this regard. I really wanted to break 33 minutes. If I had done so, I'd have been over the moon and had a plan to call into my local decent offie, and ask them for the best beer they have available. Instead, I'm enjoying a selection of Founder's All Day IPA and Black's IPA, while watching Schindler's List. Definitely not a celebration movie!

    Good beer choices, love the Black (if its the kinsale one in thinking of), up there with Kinnegar as the best Irish IPA.

    The very one Tang, its savage stuff isnt it. My current favourite too, very similar to the American IPAs like Goose Island or Odell's.
