With restrictions easing and weather finally picking up, many of the great races welcomed athletes in February 2022.

Donadea 50K – 12/02/2022

Over 250 athletes braved the Donadea 50km, and national championship race, on Saturday 12th, with quite a few dropping out due to unusual weather and trail conditions. John Conway started strong but a fuelling mistake midway through saw him lose ground as the race progressed – he still secured a PB and could celebrate his better half Laura take 2nd overall in the ladies race.

John’s time was also a new club record for the 50 km – beating Barry O’Neill’s previous 4:39:05 mark.

Enniscorthy 10K – 13/02/2022

The Enniscorthy 10k was productive and profitable for Sli Cualann and Glendalough AC with Inbhear Dee’s Kilian Mooney winning the men’s race and Sli Cualann ladies taking 2nd, 3rd and 4th spot overall with our own Donna Quinn the girl in fourth, Aoife in 9th and Parnell’s Hannah Nolan in 12th. The Sli Cualann ladies team went home 160 euro richer for their efforts.

Ticknock WINTER – 13/02/2022

The Winter League continued with it’s third round – as usual we had smaller representation for the ‘northern’ routes where Torben and Angus had a close shoot-out – more of those to come!

1 – Enda Cloake – 0:39:27

TRIM 10 MILE – 14/02/2022

The weekend action finished with Angus taking on an extremely windswept Trim 10 mile which lead to a time that as he described ‘he could do in training’. Despite this his time was enough to set a new club M50 record for the 10 mile and finish top-5% of the 1515 strong field.

WEEKEND ROUND-UP: Clara, Avondale, Enniscorthy

by glendaloughac, posted in Club races / events, Race reports, Road running, Winter League

Last week’s National Masters cross-country marked the end of the cross-country season for most of our runners. But the action continues…

Parkrun

Our weekend running began at 9 am in Avondale where Angus Tyner finished 6th in the ParkRun in 22:12. Not long after the smallest crowd yet assembled for our penultimate Winter League race (perhaps the weather deterred?) on the crown jewel of the six courses in the league: Clara Vale.

Winter League

The League has come down to a three-way battle between Aoife Joyce, Flora McKnight and coahc René Borg. All would have to better their handicap by 2 minutes or more to have a chance to stay in contention. Flora duly lowered her 29 minute handicap to 27 min and Aoife took her 30 minute mark down to 26 min. René had to improve his handicap of 42 minutes for the longer course to 40 minutes to stay within reach and just about scraped it with 39:44 – lowering Barry O’Neill’s course-record by 10 seconds in the process. All now comes down to Brockagh Woods next weekend where Aoife starts the day as the heavy favourite – her fate is in her own hands.

Enniscorthy 10 km

Aoife returned to Enniscorthy for the first time in 12 years looking to improve on her 46 minute mark set in Inch in July. Storm Dennis meant this task was a bit more onerous than expected but she still came home in a chip time of 44:48. Mission accomplished.

3 more podiums as 2018 draws to a close

by glendaloughac, posted in Race reports, Road running, Trail running

Angus Tyner continued his tour of Dublin ParkRuns on the last Saturday of November and last weekend where he won the Brickfield event in a fine 19:33 – even more impressive as the course is 5.3 km! At Poolbeg the previous week he finished 3rd to record his 7th podium of the year in 19:11

It was fitting he ran the 200th race of the season having won our ‘Road Performer of the Year’ Award for his club record over 10 miles early in the season.

Meanwhile on the trails Barry Murray took his 10th podium of the season when he finished 2nd on the gruelling ‘constant up and down’ Glanageenty 21 km race near Castleisland – John Lenihan’s old stomping ground.
