Waterford...Results of the Ras Na Rinne 6 - Fri 18 Jun 2010

Michael Dunford, 1st O/40 and Raivis Zakis overall winner.

The 18th annual Mooney's Pub Ras Na Rinne was run in excellent conditions on Friday.
This was the sixth race in the Ger Wyley Sports Summer Series 2010.

Not having done this race before, this was a bit tougher than I had imagined, but very enjoyable.

There was a display outside Ionad Pobail Na Rinne, showing those who had completed all five previous races in this 2010 series, and rankings of those who had entered the series.
If you have not yet entered the series, your last chance is at next week's Dromana 5. Cost €7.

The race started on a downhill section, beside the Garda Station. After less than half a mile, it became particularly steep. At the beach, you had to use stepping stones to cross the stream to reach the sandy area, heading east. The tide was out -- miles out. Runners appeared to spread out in a wide arc. It was difficult to choose which path to follow. The area above the high-tide mark was dry, but had large stones. The area nearer the water was still wet, with ripples in the sand. The area between the two was reasonably dry but loose sand, covered with seashells.
In any case, you had to run out to very end of this sand bar, and loop around a Blue and White checkered flag. The return path was along sand dunes, where the path was as narrow as one foot, but widening to a tractor path eventually. There was a water station at perhaps 4 miles, run by up to 10 local children. At the end of the sand dunes, you had to cross that stream again, and then begin that slow climb up to the finish line.
It was still 18C when I got back to my car at maybe 9pm.
This, in my opinion, was one of the toughest races so far in the series.
