Our relationship with Eventmaster has benefited the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon and Race Series by providing online entry system for us for the past number of years. Timing and quality have always met out exceptions and all work was communicated in a professional and timely manner. The online entry system helped transform our event planning with an easy entry system for all. Today we are living the benefits as we have reached over 19,500 entries in the marathon and a further 20,000 in the race series. We consider Eventmaster a reliable partner who has proven to be creative in problem resolution, reliable in time commitments, and overall consistent in meeting our expectations. The work was above and beyond what we could have expected in a short time frame.
Got inā¦eventually. It wasnāt accepting my Raheny Shamrock Athletics Ireland number - saying validation error - but was able to enter as a non club member for the additional ā¬2 charge. Whatās an additional ā¬2 on top of ā¬68 plus admin fees?! Donāt know if thatās a system error or if someone in Raheny didnāt re-register us for 2025 but presume the race office can add me to the Raheny contingent in due course. I expect to medal in this race & want to be running for my club rather than as unattached.
Back down in Gods own country for the Tom Walsh 10k around Caherconlish. Always marks the start of serious training/let it in long and hope for the best for the Limerick run on the May weekend. A lot of dirty fuel to get out of the tankš¤£
Handy enough pace for the 10k all told. Good to get the first one out of the way and have a base to work from. Will look to improve for the Milford Hospice 10k, middle of February I think, always come home for that as well.
LARPing (Live Action Role-Playing) exercises can be viewed objectively as a form of immersive storytelling and experiential learning. They allow participants to engage in creative role-playing, developing skills in problem-solving, collaboration, and communication. These exercises can also promote physical activity, teamwork, and emotional expression.
However, they may not appeal to everyone and might be seen as niche or impractical for those who prefer traditional forms of entertainment or learning. Additionally, LARPing events can sometimes involve complex logistics or create conflicts between players if expectations arenāt aligned. Overall, their value depends on individual preferences and goals.
Ran my first half marathon in 3.5yrs today. Slow as a week in the jail, and it through the mountains so serious hillwork sessions. During that 3.5yrs, I was confined to the bed with illness for a year. Muscles went to absolute water, couldnāt tackle stairs for a good while after. Gained a ton of weight, and developed serious mobility issues. Trying to put on a pair of socks in the morning was like a fucking gargantuan task.
Went back at it October 1st, which is about 14wks ago, and managed a brutal 2k.
Crippled today, but glad I stuck it out up to that 5k mark, where it starts to get easier.
