Plucky running in the National Novices, celebrating Christmas early in the Jingle Bells 5k and Old Rivalries Renewed in Lanzarote

4/12/2023

L-R: Andrea Rondina, Barry McCarthy, Joe McDermott, Dee Lawlor, Colm Parnell, John Mulvihill and Eddie Nugent

This week’s report is two for the price of one. Readers will be interested to know that we have two weeks of racing covered in one rather long read. Apologies to those who prefer bite size chunks and for any confusion in the presentation.

We start with the events of this weekend, followed by the highlights of last weekend and finishing with a report on the International Running Challenge that took place over four days in Lanzarote last week. The collated results are presented below in the same order.
On Sunday, we sent two teams to run in the National XC Novices in Navan. The events took place on a golf course and is familiar to many of our athletes, having been used for the Leinster Novices in the past. It is hilly, and conditions on Sunday were chilly with a light northeasterly breeze. Thankfully, the underfoot conditions were reasonably firm.

The women’s race was staged first, and, in the field of 106 runners, we had five of our clubmates. They were led home in the 4k race (involving 3 loops of the course) by women’s club captain Kathryn Gibbons in 31st place in a time of 16:26. Kathryn was followed by Saoirse McGrath (47th in 16:58), and then by Kim Hickey (54th in 17:12) with Nina Holmes not too far behind (60th in 17:22). Carina Davidson also ran, placing 105th in 22:04 and the women’s team placed 7th.

The men’s race enjoyed a larger field of 154 and conducted on 4 loops of the same course over 6k. Colm Parnell distinguished himself once again, placing 19th overall in 20:20 and 4th scorer on the gold-winning Co. Dublin team. Colm was followed by Barry McCarthy (23rd in 20:37), Andrea Rondina (69th in 22:12), John Mulvihill (74th in 22:21), Dee Lawlor (112th in 23:53), men’s club captain Joe McDermott (114th in 24:01) and Eddie Nugent (140th in 25:32). The men’s team also placed 7th.

The start of this weekend was marked by the 31st running of the iconic Donore Harriers-organised Jingle Bells 5k on Saturday morning. Because of the cold snap that had arrived since the beginning of the week and freezing conditions at night, there had been fears that the race might be at risk of cancellation. As it turned out, although conditions were cold, worries about an icy course were unjustified and possibly one could not have asked for a faster race environment.

Nearly 1300 runners, including a quality club field, set out along the narrow start on the Acres, hemmed in by the grassy banks along the Acres Road. Once clear of the Papal Cross carpark, however, and turning at the Phoenix roundabout to head towards the Castleknock Gate, the elongated field was able to expand. The course is fast and furious, as, although the route that takes runners up along Chesterfield Avenue, the main drag, is a bit of a climb, it does not take long to get into a stride and power on down the Ordnance Survey Road and then allows the athletes to hurtle down the Upper Glen Road to the finish line, which is at the end of a deceptively long and flattish straight below St. Mary’s Hospital. The finish line is well below the start, but, because of the initial climb on Chesterfield and a part of the Ordnance Survey Road, the race is only a marginally net downhill and is a PB opportunity.

We had at least 36 runners from the club who took part in cold but sunny conditions with only a light wind from the southwest refreshing runners as they headed for home down the Upper Glen Road.

The contingent was led home by Brian O’Kelly who placed 17th and 1st M40 in a time of 15:02. Brian was followed further back by Chris Russell (60th in 16:10), Ciarain Kelly (72nd in 16:23), just ahead of Patrick Conlon (73rd in a PB time of 16:26), with Stephen Hurley just behind (76th in 16:27) along with Kevin Kavanagh (78th in 16:29). Newcomer William Quill was next (174th in 17:43), followed by Gerard White (177th in the same chiptime), Kevin Lambe (246th in a PB time of 18:14), Paul Reidy (258th in 18:20), Rachael Yorke (280th and 36th female finisher in a PB time of 18:40). Rachael was just ahead of 3 other female clubmates who finished close together, starting with Annie Hughes (283rd and 38th in a PB time of 18:43), Aoife Quigley (287th and 39th just a couple of seconds off her time last year, in a time of 18:46) and finishing with Amy McGuinness (299th and 44th in a PB time of 18:49, encouraged by husband Vinnie). The team of Rachael, Annie and Aoife placed 6th in the 102-strong competition, whilst the men’s team of Brian, Ciarain and Patrick took 9th spot in the competition of 111 teams.

Next across the line came Simon Kenny (315th in 18:58) and he was followed by Tim O’Donnell, like Patrick Conlon just back from racing in Lanzarote (335th in 19:16). Behind Tim we saw Paul Campbell (359th in 19:20) and Carolyn O’Reilly (364th and 55th in a PB time of 19:27) to complete the sub-20 results (of which we had at least 19 out of the 35 who took part). The next runner to complete the course was Will Holton (440th in 20:16) and he was followed by Joanne Carey (448th and 86th in 20:22), Daniel Cullen who started further back (476th in 20:21), Sophie Morgan (535th and 118th in 21:17), David O’Donnell (536th in 20:54), Franky Keane (540th in a PB time of 21:03), Tanja Narancic, another runner to record a PB (543rd and 121st in 21:04), Hannah Jones (574th and 138th in a likely PB time of 21:13), Joe Green (579th in 21:27), Justin O’Connor (590th in 21:28), Emily Glen (599th and 147th in 21:43), Darina Scully (662nd and 189th in 22:29), Kevin Kenny (767th in 24:18), Catriona Egan (859th and 319th in 25:53), Linda Walsh (958th and 395th in 27:42), Paul E. Kelly (986th in 28:22) and Maureen McGinley (1074th and 475th in 31:17).

On the same day, Conor Macguinness headed down to Waterford to join more than 1750 runners in the Waterford AC-organised half marathon there. Conor ran a decent tine of 1:28:09 to place 182nd.

Further afield over this weekend, we had runners in two marathons. In Valencia, Rory Goldsmith thought he might have been denied a PB by a false start, runners being called back, but the clock possibly not stopping and he was originally given a time of 2:51:53. Common sense, however, prevailed and he was subsequently recorded having run a super PB time of 2:51:27 (a 7s improvement on his previous best) in perfect conditions (chilly but sunny on a flat course). Rory was followed home by Joe Dunne who was hoping to break 3:40 on the day and did so with a time of 3:37:37 in negative splits and like Rory with almost metronomic pacing, his fastest times coming towards the end. Then, in Sacramento on Sunday, one of our exiles in the USA, Cormac McGuire, ran in the California International Marathon which he completed in 3:24:54. Luke Davis reported that he participated in another hyrox event, this time in Stockholm, completing the challenge in a PB time of 71 minutes, 12 minutes behind the winner.

Because of the Jingle Bells race, there was much lower participation by the club in parkruns on Saturday morning than would be considered usual. As it happens, the largest turnout was as might be expected in Poolbeg, with our only first finisher of the morning. Anna Gallo placed 18th overall in 20:41 in a field of 146, and witnessed by her father who was visiting from Italy who also took part. Kenan Furlong took 2nd spot overall in 17:47 and he was followed by Kevin Lynch (17th in 20:32), Anna, Rachel Calvey (31st and 5th in 21:56), Josie Ward (56th and 8th in 24:00), Russell Murphy (62nd in 24:40), Una McCullagh (115th and 46th in 30:12), Louise O’Riordan (118th and 48th in 30:28), Evelyn Neary (124th and 53rd in 31:48), Cynthia Perucca (129th and 57th in 32:51) and Niamh Trihy (135th and 63rd in 35:10).

Nevertheless, we had some podium finishes. Dave Carter joined a field of 124 to place 3rd in 19:53 in Cabinteely. Ross Neill headed back to Northern Ireland where he ran in Ormeau Park in Belfast, placing 3rd in a field of 384 and a time of 18:27. Whilst placing 24th overall, Kate Murray took 3rd spot in 23:34 in the 148-strong field in Griffeen Park.

Then, Orlaith de Burca ran in Shanganagh where, alongside 176 other runners, she placed 116th and 30th in 29:22, whilst Irene Gorman, in the middle stages of pregnancy, placed 131st and 28th in 25:30 in St. Anne’s where the field measured 352. Finally, several runners joined Brendan Glynn in his new home parkrun in Donabate. Brendan ran 23:10 for 29th place in the field of 135, and he was followed by Máirín Shine (75th and 16th in 28:18), Fiona Shine (76th and 17th in 28:19), Emer Kenny (82nd and 21st in 28:32) and Lisa Shine (83rd and 22nd in 28:33).

Moving on now to the events of last weekend, Emer Kenny took part in the Florence Marathon and finished it in almost perfectly even splits in an excellent time of 3:30:09. On the same weekend, both Esther Requena Ferri and Cristian Vilchez Ceballos, our Spanish exiles, achieved PBs in the Cordoba Half marathon, where Esther placed 10th female in 1:26:41 and Cristian ran 1:17:47. Then, two of our French runners took part in races in France. In Chantepie near Rennes in the north part of the country, Sébastien Le Roy made a welcome return to racing with a 38:14 finish in a 10k there, whilst Clément Rincé ran in the Bois de Boulogne Half marathon in Paris where he finished in 1:11:25. Indeed, he then went on to run a cross country race this weekend just west of Paris, placing 3rd on the 4.3k course in 14:14.

Because of the lack of much road racing last weekend in Ireland, we had a reasonable amount of participation in parkruns, with the usual amount of podium finishes.

Saoirse McGrath ran in Marlay Park, where, in a field of 530, she placed 8th overall and first female finisher in 18:44, whilst we had a big turnout in Poolbeg with podium finishes included. In a field of 153, Stephen Hurley took 2nd place in 17:30, whilst Kenan Furlong placed 4th in 17:49. Further back came Paul O’Hara in 5th place with a time of 18:43 and he was followed by Paul Campbell (13th in 20:23), John Lohan (24th in 21:27), Tanja Narancic (37th and 2nd in 22:04), Jessica Norris (57th and 7th in 23:50), Russell Murphy (70th in 25:14), Tara Murphy (72nd and 14th in 25:22), Kevin Kenny (78th in 25:53), Linda Walsh (107th and 26th in 28:39), Anna Hernick (119th and 33rd in 29:43), Una McCullagh (135th and 42nd in 30:58), Maureen McGinley (143rd and 46th in 32:46) and Cynthia Perucca (144th and 47th in 32:47).

Along with Tanja, we had 3 more female runners placing second in each of their respective parkruns. Aoife Quigley ran in Tramore Valley in her native Cork, where she placed 9th and 2nd in a field of 155 in 19:11, whilst Áine Kenny ran once again in Mountbellew Forest where, in a field of 45, she placed 8th and 2nd in 24:39. Not to be outdone, Lisa .Shine joined 24 other runners in Deerpark Forest, Virginia, where she placed 10th and 2nd in 25:55.

We had 3 runners in Shanganagh alongside 174 other participants. Dee Lawlor placed 5th in 18:32 and he was followed by Joe Dunne (29th in 22:18) and Orlaith de Burca (117th and 38th in 29:10). Meanwhile, in Vicarstown, Dale Whelehan ran 22:14 for 8th place in a field of 65, whilst we had 3 runners in St. Anne’s. Ross Neill led the contingent home in 12th place in 19:04, followed by Michael Maughan (66th in 22:25) and Irene Gorman (327th and 124th in 32:14). The field there measured 427. Paul F. Kelly took part in the 131-strong field in Poppintree where he placed 16th in 20:34, whilst Gian Piero Allerta, on his last weekend in Dublin before heading down to Cork to work, ran 24:46 for 33rd place in the 141-strong field in Cabinteely.

The 34th running of the International Running Challenge, organised by Club La Santa at the northern end of the island of Lanzarote, took place last week. As members may be aware, the overall Challenge is 4 races of different lengths and terrain conducted over 4 days (from Sunday through Wednesday), but it is possible to run just one or two of the races. There is also a team element involved in the overall Challenge. So, we had two men’s teams, one of 4 and one of 3, with 3 to score, and 2 women’s teams of 4, with 3 to score. 15 Crusaders completed the full Challenge. The races are described as 10k, 13k, 5k and half marathon. However, it has always amused us that not one of them is accurate. The 10k, depending on the line being taken, rarely measures more than 9.8k, the 13k ridge run is actually 13.2k, the 5k beach run measures differently each year depending on the tidal conditions and how much of the beach has been naturally eroded and this year measured 4.6k, whilst the half marathon has never measured more than 20k! The event is well contested between large contingents from Ireland (including for example Sportsworld, Tullamore, Edenderry, Drogheda and Galway City Harriers) and the UK, as well as good representation from the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, France and Sweden, to name a few. Teams from different clubs will unite just for the occasion, so that we were up against a combined team from Offaly and also a team from Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes, two different clubs, but with their own special singlet: the Leighton Buzzards. Prizes are given each day for podium places and age category winners and the winners of the overall challenge are those with the lowest aggregate times over the 4 days. It becomes quite clear that those who master the last race of 20k have a distinct edge, assuming they have not given their opponents too big a lead after the first three days. A 2 minutes cushion can evaporate quickly!

Last year the races had taken place in almost gale force conditions, whilst this year the wind was not a major factor in the outcome. It was however, much sunnier and warmer than recently experienced, with the average temperature for each race being about 20-21 degrees Celsius. We had only one day to get acclimatised!

The first race was the 10k, starting and finishing on 300m of a 400m track in the sports complex and thereafter conducted on 3 asphalt loops of just over 3k around a lagoon that borders the resort. There is a descent early on in the loop but matched by a long drag on the far side of the clockwise route. Thankfully, on the drag we were facing into the northeasterly wind that was more refreshing than a hindrance. 18 Crusaders contested the race, including guest runner Catherine Thornton who actually easily won the women’s event following behind Colm Parnell who was the overall winner of the race, having caught at least 3 other runners coming on to the track. 323 runners took part overall with Colm placing 1st, Patrick Conlon was 11th, Eugene McDonough came home in 19th, followed by Catherine (30th overall), Eddie Nugent (34th), Phelim Murray, who enjoyed a stormer of a race (51st), Simon Everard (56th), James Cottle (58th), Ciara Regan (64th and 8th), Sarah Lyons (70th and 9th), Margaret Foley (92nd and 17th), Philip Matthews (130th), Olwyn Dunne (131st and 30th), Cría Dowling (133rd and 32nd), Maeve Lochrie (141st and 34th), Dee Ni Chearbhaill (158th and 38th), Louise O'Riordan (175th and 50th) and Fanny Trébouet (247th and 83rd). Once the smoke cleared, we had a few runners doing well in their age categories, with two of our number (Cría and James) building a lead over their age cat opposition.

The following day’s race was the 13k ridge run, conducted about 70% on trail and 30% on road, involving a 6.5k climb from the track to the ridge of an extinct volcano and then a return around the back of the ridge down towards sea level and the finish as usual on the track. The final climb to the top of the ridge can be run, but a lot of the athletes end up walking the last 30 odd metres. Then there is a perilous run along the ridge and a sharp slippery descent on the sandy and rocky surface of the volcano. The race was completed with a climb up a steep ramp to the track. The winner of the 340-strong race, an Englishman, took off like a bat out of hell, not realising that, the man who had beaten him the previous day, Colm, had decided to run the race as an easy training run with Patrick Conlon and ran for a while alongside Catherine, who once again won the women’s race. Eugene was our first runner home in 13th place, followed by Patrick and Colm (26th and 27th), Catherine (28th overall), Simon (46th, the 400m specialist continuing to surprise us with his endurance!), Eddie (50th), James (56th), Tim (70th), Phelim (84th), Ciara (92nd and 16th), Sarah (97th and 19th), Mags (101st and 21st), Maeve (105th and 23rd), Philip (122nd), Olwyn (128th and 29th), Cría (138th and 32nd), Dee (146th and 36th), Robbie Moore (149th), Brendan Glynn (173rd), Fanny (246th and 85th) and Mairead Cashman (284th and 104th). Age category winners on the day were Ciara, Cría and James. James was trying to build up a cushion over one of his adversaries who had beaten him overall the last time they raced together in 2018. He had a 1-minute lead over the Dane going into the second race and they were both a long way clear of their opposition. In the second race, James managed to build a gap of about 40s at one point only to see his opponent come barrelling past him with less than 600m to go. Surprisingly, however, the Dane suddenly stopped 40m later as he had put too much effort to narrow the gap. Still, he got his act together after James had retaken the lead to finish only 6s behind James at the finish. James’ lead was then only about 70s going into the third race the following day down in Puerto del Carmen on the beach there. It was hard to work out what was happening in the team competition. However, we were confident that our women’s A team was leading the competition and one of our men’s team was midpack in theirs.

This year’s conditions for the beach race were arguably better for the most part than they have been in recent years. We had hard sand for most of each of the two loops. However, where it was soft, it was like running through treacle and we had these conditions for at least 300m from the start line and then at the furthest turn after about 1k and then again heading back to the finish. The race is somewhat surreal in that the tight turns at each end of the beach closely pass by sunbathers on recliners who patiently accept the disruption to their morning.

There were 302 participants in the beach race, with Eugene, once again, leading our contingent home in 14th place. Catherine placed 35th overall and came home in 2nd place, with little damage to her overall lead. Amazingly, Simon was next (38th), followed by Tim (57th), James (64th and 5 seconds ahead of his adversary), Eddie (69th), Phelim (74th), Mags (79th and 11th), Maeve (86th and 14th), Ciara (87th and 15th), Sarah (92nd and 18th), Philip (125th), Olwyn (138th and 35th), Cría (141st and 36th), Dee (149th and 39th), Fanny (208th and 70th) and Mairead (250th and 94th). Once again, Cría and James were age category winners, Cría having an enormous cushion going into the last race, whilst James’ lead was only 76s and he was up against a Dane who specialises in mountain and trail running, a feature of the last race.

The 20k, a point-to-point from the village of Tinajo south of La Santa to finish on the track, enjoyed a field of 273 runners. Although, the race is a net downhill, there are several relatively steep climbs on the way down, ending with the steep ramp to the track used for the Ridge run. 200m from the start there is a sharp right-hand bend and James found himself boxed in, having to resort to climbing over a low wall and, taking it slightly awkwardly, hyperextending his knee. Still, although an irritation, it was not a major impediment, just a distraction throughout the race. James was able to stay with his adversary for 6k, but then the Danish runner surged hard twice for 2k each time and James was obliged to let the runner go. The difference in finishing times gave the overall age category to the Dane. It had been a good battle all the same with mutual respect and the two runners finished the challenge only about 90s apart, but half an hour ahead of the rest of the field.

Once again, Eugene led our runners home in 17th place, followed by Catherine who won the women’s race and the overall competition (26th in the race), Ciara (storming across the line for 57th and 11th and taking the age category win), James (60th), Sarah (65th and 14th), Eddie (67th), Phelim (68th), Tim (69th), Simon (80th), Mags (83rd and 16th), Maeve (87th and 18th), Olwyn (101st and 24th), Cría (121st and 32nd and winner of her age cat. in the race and overall), Dee (131st and 35th), Philip (likely 132nd), Robbie (138th), Brendan (178th), Fanny (200th and 66th) and Neil Brown (216th).

The women’s team of Catherine, Ciara, Sarah and Mags placed 1st, ahead of Sportsworld and Milton Buzzards, with the team of Maeve, Olwyn, Cría and Dee placing 4th, whilst the men’s team of Eugene, Eddie, Tim and James placed 6th and it is likely that the team of Simon, Philip and Phelim took 12th place in the men’s competition.

Although Catherine, Ciara and Cría were the only outright individual winners, we had several runners take podium age category places: Olwyn (2nd), James (2nd), Sarah (2nd), Mags (3rd) and Maeve (3rd).

It had been another classic series of races!
