WEP Note no 3 - Nov 25th

Welcome to the Wednesday Evening Preparation note number 3 designed to prepare you for tomorrow nights FUN-Run.

Unfortunately the wind (thats the weather we mean of course!) got the better of us last week so hopefully we will be back flying again tomorrow night, Nov 26th.

The weather for tomorrow is looking ok at the moment, take a look at:
http://www.met.ie/forecasts/county.asp and select waterford.

As we mentioned in our last WEP note our 3rd week of running is traditionally our biggest week in terms of numbers, so that may be tomorrow night!!
With numbers potentially exceeding 800, we appeal as always that you run on the path NOT the road! If you cannot get past another Fun-runner in front of you DONT jump out on the road.....just wait longer until it is safe to pass on the path. By now, as you are familiar with the course, you will be aware that it is difficult to pass anytime before halfway through the lap, so be patient.

There are no prizes for being the fastest....or the pushiest. You are challenging yourself afterall!

As a reminder for what to do tomorrow night remember that if you have checked your race handicap for this week on http://www.waterfordac.com/ or in the Lobby at the RSC from 6:30 then you simply need to be at the start point on Ashe road for that number of minutes after the start time on the official clock which starts at time zero which is approximately 7pm! So if your race handicap is 7 mins then you need to start running from the start point at 0:07 on the clock, simple as that!
You only need to come upstairs at the RSC tomorrow night if:

  • You are paying nightly, Have your €5 ready.
  • You want to change from the 1 lap course to the 2 lap course. (Tell us your BIB number and your handicap and we will issue you a new handicap).
  • You have lost your number. (You will be issued with a new number to replace your old one and your data from the previous runs credited to the new one). Note: There is a replacement charge of €3, so mind your number!
  • You are going to steward and you want to pick up your Viz Coat and lamp.

Remember: Waterford Roadrunners want to help you to have a great night so help us by following the guidance of

  • High Viz, ...and don't forget your bib number: (your chip timer is in it)
  • No watches,
  • No Ipods etc,
  • Stay on the Path, &
  • Have Fun.
