    Nearing that time of year again where runners flock to run that magical 5k route that seems to spit out fast 5k times for fun. Entry open now on-line via Sportstiming at €12, great race for fast times and great depth of field to help tow you along.

    Terenure is 2 days before hand. If Fletch is doing Enfield - I might stick to Terenure :)

    Quick bump, just over a week to go to one of the fastest 5ks in the country.

    Sub 17 - I might try jumping on the Fletch / GOR train depending on how a tempo goes tomorrow!

    I have bumped Terenure in favour of this. The explanation will appear on my log in due course.

    After getting a 20:07 at Le Cheile at the weekend, I need to get my first sub 20 in 4 years, so off to Enfield I go. Will be on the beer on Sunday though:mad:

    Can't wait for this. It's a local one for me as well, which is handy. I got a pb last year (broke it again in November) so hoping to get another this year. As close to 20:30 as possible would be outstanding

    anyone know what the parking situation is like, hotel seems very small, is there somewhere else to go locally if full?

    Normally no issue with getting parking in the hotel, be warned the start is a good mile out the Edenderry Rd.

    So it's park the car at the hotel, collect number, then warm up to the start line? I assume then that it's not a good idea bringing bag/gear to start. I imagine there isn't a bag drop facility at the start.

    No, the finish is near where you collect the number so leave your bag there and jog up to the startline as a warmup.

    Guess we can put the sun cream away for this one :(. Just hop the road surface won't be too slippy - although the pace I run at that shouldn't be an issue!

    Wouldn't mind the rain, there's a fairly stiffish breeze after appearing with it that's concerning me a bit.
