Thats sounds class JimmY - Id love to try something like that. My focus for now is the 10km beach run in July, I have plenty of work to do to make sure I can enjoy that one5k Club handicap event last night, 32 took part, The people who submitted the slowest time went off first and we all went off
in a staggered basis, I submitted 27 mins, Christ it was savage warm, I say 15 started ahead of me and same started behind me,
I passed a few and i reckon 6 passed me, Came in 27.03, Lat half mile was mainly uphill, Was gasping for air, Good variety of paces from 33 mins to 19.50 mins
Its great fun and also a great challenge, You try to catch those who started before you, And are also listening for the thundering hoofs behind you as the speed merchants hunt you down, We should do a PROC version on the marina, BT Could give us all a 10 min start,Thats sounds class JimmY - Id love to try something like that.

On the planned route for the new road10 mins + a bag full of rocks on his back!
Plus we'd all have to listen to him telling us how he ran up to Limerick and back to warm up
He would arrive at the marina covered in cow shit, He would wear the spikes for his cross country run to LimerickOn the planned route for the new road
I think Cork should star the half maybe 15 mins earlier, That way the majority doing the full wont converge on the large numbers doing the half,One thing that all races will have to watch out for as they grow is the issue of numbers/width of the street. I did 13k of the Lux one a few weeks ago and for the most of it I was zigzagging like a nutter. Not very enjoyable, loads of slow downs and a bit of clipping. That's at about 4,50 down to 4.25 km pace. I wasn't THAT far back either and people around me were more or less running at the same pace. I say this cos I hear Cork is looking to grow numbers. Hope it doesn't spoil the race.
It was better this year. the half started at 10:45 so converged at 16.5.miles/3 and a bit miles with 4-4:30 marathonersI think Cork should star the half maybe 15 mins earlier, That way the majority doing the full wont converge on the large numbers doing the half,
