Pay club fees online this year

Its that time of year again, club fees are due. We are asking members to pay online by bank transfer if that is possible. Here are some details on making online payments.

Registration is quite a time consuming process for such a large club so members are encouraged to pay online to help the committee volunteers.

ONLINE RENEWAL:

Membership renewal is €90. If you paid online last year then all the details should be saved on your online bank account. Just make sure you put your name in the subject/reference when transferring the money to Sportsworld so we know who has paid!

FIRST TIME MAKING AN ONLINE PAYMENT:

Step 1: Register your details on this page: Fees

Step 2: You will then be directed to a page with all the club banking details.

Go to your online bank account and set up a bank transfer with these details. Make sure you put your name in the subject/reference when transferring the money so we know who is paying – this is really important!

There its that simple!

Note: We don’t use paypal or other payment processing companies as they charge a transaction fee (that you will have to pay). Once you have the bank transfer set up this year you never have to do it again (unless you switch banks) as you can save the details on your online bank account for next year.

NEW MEMBERS:

First time membership is €115 which includes a club race singlet. Club fees also cover such things as the clubhouse maintenance, your insurance, championship race entry and track rental for club training sessions. See steps above for paying online.

St Stephens Day 10k Limerick Winner!

Keano is Queen Of Limerick

By Packie Enright

Shona continued her good run of form today with a very good run in Limerick at the annual St Stephens Day Caherdavin 10k in Limerick. Organised by Limerick AC, the race is an ideal plum pudding burner for local runners or for runners home for Christmas from Dublin, London or further afield.

Sportsworld had three runners in action fitting into this category, each breaking 40 mins, so twas a relatively productive bank holiday for all. We had Shona, Will Greensmyth and myself Packie Enright all representing our club with pride. And so that was it, back to our families in preparation for one of the biggest festive nights of the year.

Tom Brennan 5K 2017

There is no better way to ring in the new year than to put it all out there running a 5K in the beautiful Phoenix Park. It was a very cold day for the annual Tom Brennan 5K. However, despite the cold weather over 700 runners signed up for the New Year’s day event. So cold in fact that you look closely at the race photographs you will see an icicle coming out of my mouth. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

The race route is a two loop course which starts and finishes on the Furze Road in the middle of the Phoenix Park. Participants follow a clockwise, right-handed, route around Furze Road, Ordnance Survey and Chesterfield Avenue. It being the depths of winter there was a very strong wind into your face along ordnance Survey Road, making conditions tough for everyone on that part of the course.

The race today was also part of the very popular Lord Mayor’s 5 Alive Challenge, which promotes a healthy lifestyle and encouraging people to take part in series of events in the Dublin region. All types of runner, jogger and walkers came to the park to ring in the new year, by taking a healthy step forward.

The race start is down near the corner of ordnance Survey Road. This was one of the toughest parts of the chorus as there is a sharp right turn which slows you write down. How much is the first lap I was running with a group of eight but by the time we came around to the halfway point two of the guys had moved out ahead? The pace was fast but I was now committed and was holding on to the chasing group ready to make a move at

The pace was faster than I had run in 2 years but I was now committed and was holding on to the chasing group ready to make a move at 4k, if I last that long. I have run enough of these types of races to know that the pain is temporary but the disappointment of not having given it you’re all lasts a lot longer.

 

 

 

We hit the 4K mark so I decided to make a move. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much there in reserve. I struggled down chesterfield Avenue with the finish line getting ever closer. When we turned the corner third place was gone. I fell over the line, happy knowing that if I can stay injury free there is a great year ahead. But still a little disappointed to not run under 16 minutes.

Unknown to me there was quite a battle with only 19 seconds separating Sandra, Eileen and Conor. Well done to everyone running for the club, even if most of you had forgotten you singlets. Full results below. Apologies if I missed anyone.

Host club Liffey Valley AC along with my run results.com put on a great race. All the supporters out on the course made it all the more enjoyable. Thanks to Dennis, Johnny, Madeleine and Emma for their post long run support and photos. More photo credits go to Peter Mooney and Thomas Grealy.

Wicklow 5K 2016

Despite having nothing to do it’s taken me almost a week to write this race report. On the 26th of December every year I go to Wicklow town for the annual 5K. It’s not the fastest but is a fast course if you can manage the hills. It’s a great way to blow way the Christmas excess and soak up the local race atmosphere. This year the weather conditions were fantastic. The scene was set for a fast race with very little breeze and a high winter sun.
I try to run this race every year but last year I was injured and unable to run. Standing on the start line in 2016 with a little over three months running in my legs I wasn’t brimming with confidence that I could repeat my only road race victory to date from, two years ago. Looking around  I spotted a few familiar faces, i.e lads that I think will beat me. Doubts aside I decided I’d get a fast start because the first 2K of the race is a steep uphill, followed by a long downhill section.
Once things got going that all went out the window. Just after the 1k mark there was a man standing at the side of the road indicating that we should turn left. Surprised I said to the guy beside me they should really tell you when they change the course. He politely respond that  they change the course last year. There goes my tactics! I started catching people as we wen through the first 2K including the guy wearing the GAA jersey and long shorts, a few kids, your women with the headphones 🙂 we’ve all seen them.
When we got to 3K I was starting to feel the lactic but for some reason those nagging  doubts in my head were gone. I said to myself that I have ran faster than this before so there is no reason I cant do it today. Now having made my way up to 3rd position I was unsure who was behind me, or how close they were, I kept focusing on the Crusaders runner in front of me. There was a nice stretch along the waterfront to pass the time.
Once you hit 4K in a 5K race you hope to god that it’s partially downhill. The new course did not disappoint with the same finish as the old one. Anything that will distract you from the suffering you choose to embrace.  With 800M to go the competitive instinct kicked in as I started to catch the guys in front and cheered on by the local crowd I felt like I was flying. With the finish in site 2nd was a step too far, a quick look behind and that was it. I came across the line in 16:09 met by a friendly face. Lucy Darcy handed me my finishing time and  told me to ]write a race report. Fair play to Lucy and team and the host club Inbhear dee Wicklow Ac on the great event. A  good race to compensate for the lack of a session Christmas week.
I went in to Wicklow with 16.29 as a target bit I’m now going into the new year with a 15.59  target and a new 5K PB the summer, things are going in a good direction after nothing but injuries and disappointment in  2016.   The next day at the crack of dawn I headed from my parents house in Rathfarnham up to the back gate of the water works for a 25K loop with a spring in my step .

Meet and Train Tymon Park

Race Report by Sandra Gowran

About 6 weeks ago Sportsworld was asked to host the last Meet & Train cross-county race of the year – we willingly agreed and set about to get the necessary permission from the Parks Department of the County Council.
Race reporter Sandra….before she decided to race
Having only received official confirmation from South Dublin CC that we could hold the race in Tymon with less than a week to race day a trusty team of Sportsworld Committee members got together to plan for the race; if our racing standards ever drop there’s a definite business possibility for lastminuteraces.com such was the standard of organisation of today’s race.
[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]
A big shout-out to all those who helped in organising – Aileen Melody and Breda Brown for getting all the paperwork in order; Dave Clarke for ensuring that we had loadsa tea and biscuits, etc for the post-race chat; Michael Cunningham, Eoin O’Brien, Catherine Muleady, Adrian Lanigan, Paul Duffy and others who set out the course; Emily Dowling for organising for the use of Faugh’s GAA Club and only setting off the alarm once to my two times this morning! Gareth Murran for the amazing photos and video. Thanks to everyone else who turned up early clad in the red and white of Sportsworld to help out.
[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]
It was a glorious morning, more like a day in early May than December and the underfoot conditions were equally as welcoming.
Yours truly rocked up to help with the hosting of the race without any intentions of racing – in fact I said several times that I wasn’t racing, it went something like this:
Sportsworld Member at the start of the M&T season: Sandra are you doing the M&T?
Me: Probably not
Sportsworld Member about 6 weeks to today’s race: Sandra, are you racing?
Me: I don’t think so
Sportsworld Member about 2 weeks to today’s race: Sandra, are you racing?
Me: No, definitely not.
Sportsworld Member about 2 days to today’s race: Sandra, are you racing?
Me: Absolutely not, I have a litany of excuses that I could give but really I just don’t want to!
Emily less than 60 secs before the starting whistle this morning: Sandra, are you racing?
Me: Ah sure feck it, I will!
What is it they say about a woman’s prerogative to change her mind?!
Anyway just before my change of mind I had controversially set my Santa hat on the top of a course stake to mark the finish – that it was at the brow of a hill is where the controversy arises as it seems Eoin O’Brien had not long before told everyone that the finish was ‘lovely and flat’ – the course was a bit short so I lengthened the finish to bring us closer to the 2 mile mark – not my fault there just happened to be a hill there!
[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]
So, back to me changing my mind – I arrived at the start line just to witness the girls in the front row chomping at the bit like greyhounds ready for the off – I tucked in close to the rear happy not to be attempting to catch the hare today, and we were off.
It’s been so long since I ran a M&T race that I had forgotten just how ‘low pressure’ they can be – there were loads of women around me which allowed me to work my way through a little as we tackled ‘the hill’ (it was a slope really) for the first time. The race was well dotted with Sportsworld supporters and stewards who offered great encouragement – most even recognised me despite the fact that shame of all shames, I wasn’t wearing my Club singlet (hence my punishment in writing the race report!).
[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]
There was a lovely steep downhill in the second field and only one wet and mucky patch for about 50 metres, before we knew it we were back to the beginning of the second lap. There was a great number from Sportsworld Racing – many who had recently completed the 4 day La Santa Challenge series (there was also  a good few absent due to the excesses of Christmas – we’ll say no more) and there were some great performances and markers set for the rest of the season.

Before I knew it I was entering the final field and the finish was in sight – one last effort up the slope/hill and I had completed my first M&T race in about 13 years (yes, 13!) and joined my club mates in the post-race glow analysis – it was at this point that I learned that Maria Jones was just pipped at the line for 1st place – the controversy being had I not lengthened the finish she may have held onto 1st place, however had I continued on up the hill/slope to get to 2 miles exactly (yes the race was still a little short!) the outcome- well we’ll never know – Maria will just have to have another go next time.
[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]
Well done to all my club mates on racing, cheering, organising, photography, videoing, pouring, sharing, etc. Wishing you all a lovely holiday season with loved ones and a wonderfully rewarding and enjoyable 2017 running and racing with Sportsworld Running Club.
P.s. there are two morals to this story – 1. Always pack your club singlet even if you have absolutely no intention of racing, ever (otherwise you’ll end up doing the race report) and 2. Be emphatic – just say ‘No’ and stick to it (….unless of course there’s the potential to get an endorphin hit and then it’s perfectly reasonable to say Yes…..!)

Womens Race Report by Sinead Tangney

And so the day was upon us … National Novice Champion … The only thing standing in the way of us and the Sportsworld Christmas Party (and that small thing of a week’s work).

Race reporter Sinead

Waking up I knew it was race morning with the Whatsapp group going crazy. Living in a house with two teammates means you don’t just get one message at a time but every one message equals three… Buzz, ding, dong all in sync. The messages came flooding in from good luck messages to ensuring everyone had a drive and no one was left travelling alone. A couple of 100 messages later we were on our way to Dundalk IT.

We arrived to a very cold and chilly Dundalk and set up a base camp where we all gathered and tried to keep the nerves at bay. All dealing with the pre-race nerves in our own way. Some going quiet and some, aka me, yapping on too much and annoying everyone.

Emily, Myles, Paul and Cathrina were all on hand to help in any way from collecting numbers to warm up advice to susing out the competition. Pep talks were also in full swing which meant one thing run away around the course, warm up, take our minds off the race and try not to let the nerves get to us.

The course looked good. It was a 2km lap just like the previous week in the Dublin intermediate except this time it was luckily a 4km race. Of course priorities were in order with the pre-race chats during the warm up consisting of Christmas shopping, nights out, wedding chats and after race drinks. After we had jogged around the course Emily put us doing long and short strides to prepare us for the quick start of the race.

Before we knew it, it was race time 2:40. Up to the start line we went, squished like little sardines. Under starters instructions “stand back from the line ladies” … “ready” … “bang” … we were off.

As was to be expected the race took off like a sprint. With everyone pushing and shoving to get to the front of the 137 field of athletes. It didn’t take long to figure out that any manners were left at the start line with people standing on heels and accidentally pushing and not a “sorry” in sight. After about 1km the race got into its own pace with about 5 people in the leading bunch followed by all the Sportsworld girls closely bunched together. The two sisters Helen and Noreen kept each other company around the 4km course who were closely followed by Shona and Catherine B. Ruth made an amazing comeback to cross country. Maria was the next girl home followed by Catherine M, Margaret and Patricia. Amazing running by all the girls!

We crossed the line to “well dones”, hugs, smiles which made the initially exhaustion feeling after the race disappear fairly rapidly. Next was the totting up of the final scores and trying to calculate the finishing points and our finishing position. Finally we found out Sportsworld won team gold (53 points) with Leevale second (114) and Dunboyne third (146). Noreen, Helen and myself also making the Dublin team winning gold. All the medals making Emily one happy camper.

The support around the course, as with the two previous races I have ran with the club, was second to none. If you ever find yourself drifting away from the race and zoning out you just have to run a couple of meters and you will find another Sportworld supporter to pull your mind back into the race and get you back on track. I think I can speak for all of the girls when I say I don’t think we would have ran and done as well as we have this cross country season without the support around the course from the lads, all the club members that travelled and even a few parents to fly the Sportsworld flag. It’s hard to put into words how much the support actually helps and means to all of us. Absolutely AMAZING! Next weekend I won’t be running but I will be more than happy standing on the side line supporting the girls in the meet and train run on Sunday “Go Team Sportsworld”.

After yet another outstanding, gold medal winning performance by the ladies, the pressure was on us guys to put in a good performance. A nice mild afternoon made conditions perfect for some good days running around the 6k course.

The first of the 3 laps got off to a weird start for me, due to the fact that, as I was coming down the first decline of the day one of my shoes planted in the thick mud and stayed there for the rest of the race while I carried on with the new but not so welcome experience of running one shoe on, one shoe off.

[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]

I half considered stopping to pick it up, but with over 170 men charging all around me, I decided my life was probably more important. The rest of this first lap went in a bit of a blur for me, which mostly comprised of looking down at my fellow runner’s feet in an attempt to avoid a visit to the doctor with a spike through my left foot.

[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]

It was Conor McCarthy who, like many other of our athletes was on the back of a very full running schedule in recent weeks, set the pace for the team in the opening stages of the race, while I tried to hang on his shoulder for as long as possible. The big turnout of Sportsworld support around the course cheering us on, made this task considerably easier. Having each other beside us seemed to help a lot as the two of us kept up a good steady pace for the final two laps, with myself only pulling ahead  with about a lap to go.

[ezcol_1half][/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end][/ezcol_1half_end]

 The prospect of being the first Sportsworld home, as well as the oncoming Karl Chatterton and Kevin Curran just behind us, pushed the four us to finish strongly on the last lap and  down the long finish straight. As a result of all this hard work put in by all our competitors we finished in a respectable 13th position which is a great improvement on the 22nd place finish this time last year. Hopefully now we can keep this momentum going and improve even more in the new year in the two intermediate races.

On Sunday last a group of Sportsworld athletes made the short journey to Tymon Park for the Dublin Intermediate Cross Country Championships. A new course was marked out for the occasion which made a nice change from the old, soul destroying course.
There were some tired bodies on the start line having only landed in Dublin the previous night from the Lanzarote Running Challenge but that had to be put to one side for 20 minutes or so.

[ezcol_1half]15304193_1211015018976296_8128747665446798002_o[/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end]15370086_1211015642309567_9117025457375006630_o[/ezcol_1half_end]

The women had to negotiate a 5km course which consisted of one small lap and two big laps.

[ezcol_1half]15370018_1211016542309477_2544320142936611393_o[/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end]15325323_1211017752309356_2060574238656081706_o[/ezcol_1half_end]

It was a small field with only 40 ladies lining up for the race. The race started fast as always but settled down after a few hundred meters.
Sinead went out with the early leader and had a fantastic race to take 2nd place. Catherine B wasn’t far behind and held off the rest of the field to finish in bronze medal position. Noreen put in a great race on tired legs to come in fourth and Maria had a stormer to finish in 12th position.

15304490_1211019838975814_1324539853542573804_o

Myself, Margaret and Patricia worked together to finish in close succession.

With 3 of our 4 scorers in the top 10, it was no surprise that our ladies team took the top spot and brought home the gold medal. Roll on the Nationals!!!!!!

The Dublin Intermediate Cross Country Championship took place on a very mild and calm last Sunday afternoon in Tymon Park.  An early lap with Karl Chatterton to suss out the course put me at ease and assured me that the ground was going to be firmer than usual. It had not rained all week apparently and therefore the racing conditions were to be comparatively favourable to the all-too-frequent cross-country course terrain of mud, marsh and bog! “Thank God for that”, I thought to myself, having raced four times already that week in Lanzarote (as did Margaret, Catherine Mul, Patricia, Noreen, Will & Conor Keating – kudos to all) and was pleased to take any favourable running conditions which came my way. The warm-up felt good and I thanked myself for having fresh-ish legs as a result of omitting myself from the 4x400m relay in Lanzarote the previous Friday…..BOOM! 😀 Sorry, Myles.

[ezcol_1half]15252701_1211024658975332_2004250991043503472_o[/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end]15304377_1211025958975202_6889613138498471098_o[/ezcol_1half_end]

If one needed inspiration for the men’s race whilst doing our pre-race laps and strides, one glance over at the ladies race saw Sinead Tangney and the rest of the team bossing their field and claiming yet another gold medal victory for the club, The girls have been going very well lately and certainly have good momentum going into the big one this Sunday. Fair play and good luck to them.

Once the ladies race finished, the 59 men were busy finalising their warm-up routine and lined up awaiting the familiar sound of gun-fire to signal the start of the race. I set into the race with the mindset of getting out of the traps quickly, sit in behind a familiar jersey or two and settle into a steady rhythm for the 8 kilometres which were to come.

[ezcol_1half]15370039_1211022842308847_7279541219708235869_o[/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end]15272135_1211021268975671_3284562479499474290_o[/ezcol_1half_end]

Up, down, back, around, over and across the sports fields of Tymon…the familiar groove and the ebb and flow of a cross-country race began to unfold. Throughout the race your sensory awareness picks up on fellow runners dropping back, surging forward and pushing on in the race and this one was no different. The vociferous support from Sportsworld folk was fantastic throughout the race and in particular, it was personally very much appreciated when there was only approximately 300m to go.

[ezcol_1half]15288551_1211024345642030_8989263093655895589_o[/ezcol_1half] [ezcol_1half_end]15289156_1211021065642358_6729742756669614732_o[/ezcol_1half_end]

Generally at this point in cross-country, the race can be very much in the melting pot and the intensity increased a notch as it became apparent that Rathfarnam were in the mix for a gold medal. My team-mate from a few days previous, Paul Fleming, implored his club-mate – my familiar foe – Aaron Browne – to push on and overtake me as our race reached its conclusion. We both took the last downhill downhill adjacent to the GAA field with some vigour, perhaps a little too much so, and I felt I might have the edge on him today. Alas, it was not to be.

15369037_1211024082308723_6384718394695437845_o

I recall from the Dublin Senior that this guy has a serious final burst of speed over 200m or so and he turned it on again today, giving his all for his club. Fair play. Rathfarnam did take the team gold. I gave it everything I could to catch him but it was in vain as he claimed 16th and I settled for 17th in a time of 28.07. The support from the sidelines really helped spur me on to give it all over those last few yards. Frustrated to have been beaten, I was happy enough with my days work considering it was my fifth race in eight days.

Throughout the race, I was conscious that Kevin (who was making a welcome return to the fold) and Stephen O’Donnell were not a significant distance behind me and it;s good for the team that everyone is driving each other onwards. Kevin finished in a time of 28.29, Stephen in 28.40 and Karl took the fourth spot in 28.53. Sadanand was just a second behind Karl and it bodes well for the team going into the National Novice this Sunday – a race which promises to be fast and furious. Bring it on!
