More info.....In preparation for the race in January, I have already put up all the info required in earlier postings so there isn't much point in putting them up again. Just click on the links below...
Race HQ....How to get there....and more race details in this previous post.
Race Course.....See this previous post which should give you a good idea of what the course is like.
Changes from the January details.....
1) 60 Min pacers.......it looks like the 60 minute pacer picked up an injury so there won't be one on Sunday. If anyone would like to pace 60 minutes on Sunday then they should contact Paudie Birmingham of Mallow AC asap. Needless to say, to pace 60 minutes, your recent 10 mile time should probably be 58 minutes or below!
Updated....Sat 6pm
2) Pacing Balloons.....Balloon colours for tomorrow.
70 minutes will have a red balloon. / 80minutes will have a yellow balloon. / 90 minutes will have a green balloon.
Have to do 17 miles as part of marathon training program this Sunday and really want to do Mallow. whats the best way to go about the 17 miles. Do 10 and drive home and do the other 7??? I dont really know mallow so making up the 7 there doesnt tickle my fancy? Any suggestions as I would really like to do mallow. the company for ten miles would be great!
ReplyDeleteI'd be inclined to do all 17 in Mallow. The start line is a mile from the hall so getting there and the race is 11 miles anyway.
ReplyDeleteArrive 11am?...Get your number...do 6 miles...3 out & back on hard shoulder of Killarney road?......back to car...get some water...run down to start...run race...back to hall for a cuppa...job done
Lots of routes around Mallow to get all your 17mile done. You could run from mallow youth centre (where you collect your race number) run up to start line (1 mile approx), run the first 4 miles of the Mallow 10 route (which will bring you just short of the Cork Racecourse), then turn back and run back towards Mallow 10 finish line, down the park road, over the bridge and back up to Mallow 10 start line. That should give you 7-8miles before start of race. Hope this is of help, Dave Lyons, Mallow AC
ReplyDeleteYa John that sounds like a good idea. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAs the numbers are pretty large there was only one men's cubicle available at the hall. and a q of 20 or so to use it is no fun. One or two portoloo's would not be a bad idea with the growing numbers.
ReplyDeleteAnother point is that the q for tea/sambo's after could be decreased if cups were poured instead of asking everyone t or coffee and then pouring. if someone was constantly pouring and people could take them themselves would speed it all up.
Thanks
John thanks for the advice about doing the 17 miles. i went down early and did 7 before running the ten and it wasnt all that bad. Was two minutes slower than ballycotton so i was pleased with that considering the extra distance I had done before it! The race was great.
