This is a photograph from the 4th Annual Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races hosted by Bohermeen AC on the 8th March 2015 at 12:00 at Bohermeen, Ardbraccan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland. A 10KM race was also held and started one hour before the half marathon. This event has grown quickly in popularity over the past few years with this year's entry of 1,168 with this being a record for both races. The half marathon had 843 entrants while the 10KM race had 325 entrants. This half marathon event is perfectly placed in the Irish running calendar as it provides runners of all levels and abilities an opportunity to test the half marathon distance in preparation for a Spring Marathon or as the first serious running goal in 2015. Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful.

The weather was very suitable for road racing with the exception of a strong headwind at certain parts of the course. However the cool, dry sunny conditions were suitable for fast times and PB performances from runners.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Le distanze sono percorsi complicati, annullate solo dal pensiero e dalla memoria.
--

IDEAFLY APOLLO SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES: Cool Appearance and Convenient for Carrying: the portable, streamlined design reflects the aesthetics of its industrial design, while also allowing the Pilot to easily pack it into a backpack for transport. Precise Hovering and Self-leveling with GPS: IdeaFly Apollo has an integrated flight control system including compass and GPS that provide precise position hold, fail safe and semi-autopilot. The aircraft flies stably under the control of iFly, barometer and GPS. Fail-Safe Mode: If the Apollo loses the signal from the controller for any reason or reaches preset 100 meter high or 300 meter distance limits, the return to home feature will initialize. The aircraft will ascend to 18 meters, then make a straight-line course back to the home position specified during GPS calibration. Once home the Quadcopter will safely descend to the ground and power itself off. 2 Axis Stabilization Gimbal: IdeaFly Apollo has an external adjustable gimbal designed for Boscam and GoPro cameras. Other similar light weight camera can also be mounted on the gimbal. Compared to those simple camera mounts that come with the kits made by other manufacturers, the gimbal on Apollo is controlled by the flight controller system and is self-leveling. A pilot can also tilt the camera to look up and down by turning the position on the transmitter. The Pilot conveniently capture flight footage for exciting POV shots. 2.4GHz Transmitter included: IdeaFly Apollo contains a remote controller and receiver, which help the Pilot avoid the inconvenience of purchasing such things. The only thing needed to do is to add TX batteries (8 x AA dry cell or NiMH). Stabilized Manual, Auto Hover, and Return to Home Modes: The IdeaFly Apollo quadcopter has three different flight modes. The stabilized manual mode is semi-autopilot and a pilot has more control than other modes. In auto hover mode the quadcopter will stop as soon as you release the controls, and will stay hovering at a fixed horizontal and vertical position. This setting is the easiest to fly and is generally preferred for shooting video as the Quadcopter won't drift or be as susceptible to wind gusts. If return to home mode is trigged the aircraft will return the takeoff position automatically. To work Return to Home requires proper calibration and connection to more than four GPS satellites. Low Voltage Protection : The IdeaFly Apollo offers two levels of low voltage protection, a function of the iFly autopilot system. It prevents your multi-rotor from crashing or other harmful consequences caused by low battery voltage. In the first level of protection, the LED indicator blinks red to warn the Pilot. In the second level protection the system will trigger the aircraft to land automatically. High-Intensity LED Indicators: LED status light on quadcopter provides with various kinds of feedback and warnings. Colors alternate between red, blue and purple and can either be flashing or solid.
Flanked in the distance by the world famous Lady Isabella, the Laxey water driven wheel - largest in the world - is Hemmings, Holsworthy Setra coach K19 HEM. Built in 1854 the wheel was designed to drive the pump to remove water from the undergound mine workings, which at the lowest point were of a greater distance from the surface than the Isle of Man's highest point, Snaefell or the Snow Mountain. The coach is one of several hundred from a wide variety of operators that make the sea crossing to Mann each year, and is caught parked up on the Laxey coach park in Mines Road, opposite Ham & Egg Terrace.

This is a photograph from the first running of the Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Tuesday 17th March 2015 St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 11:00. Just under 600 people participated in the event which was a wonderful success on the event's first running. The event was in aid of the charity Childline. The weather was perfect for distance running and the course was a perfect mixture of town, flat bogland country roads and a long stretch along the beautiful Royal Canal. The race started on Austin Friars' Street and finished in town park beside the Annebrook Hotel.

Ok, So this is the second exercise for the L102 Strobist Bootcamp...
The idea is to work with light fall to lighten or darken the background... I was having a hard time completing and the realized that I had my subject too close to the background so the distance was not significant enough for there to be a light fall that allowed the bg to go dark. It didn't go all black, but I'm pleased with it.
By the way, It should've said Mara where it says Lightroom jajaja

10 Mile Race Start: This is a photograph from the annual Ardagh Moydow Glen Community Games 5KM and 10 Mile road races, fun runs, walks and challenges which were held in the heritage village of Ardagh, Co. Longford, Ireland on Saturday 26th February 2022 at 13:00. This race has grown year on year since its first running a few years ago. This is the first time the races have been held in February due to the postponement of the traditional Christmas time fixture from January 2nd 2022.
We have an extensive set of photographs from the race start and the finish on our Flickr photostream set at
www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72177720296976089
Timing and Event management was provided by Irish company MyRunResults - check their website at www.myrunresults.com/
The 10 mile race takes in the local 'Ardagh Mountain' which is a 1 mile continuous climb starting at the 2 mile mark of the 10 mile race. There is, of course, then the reward of a long down-hill stretch after the summit. This forested hill or mountain was once a famous centre of pre-Christian religious worship and is believed to have been the home of a pre–christian diety named Midir (the God of the Underworld), and also a Prince of the "Tuatha De Dannan", the fairy people of Ireland. The hill or mountain itself is named after Brí, the daughter of Midhir and her doomed love, Leith who are reputed to be buried on the hill. The top of the hill offers impressive views of the landscape, particularly north to Longford town and towards the south. The remainder of the race is challenging but fair, with some much smaller and less steep hills in the race profile. Miles 3 - 7 benefit from some downhill as the race route travels around the base of the hills. The roads are predominantly rural roads with little traffic. There is a gradual climb in the final mile of the race which brings runners back into Ardagh village. The 10 mile race finishes in the same finish as the 5KM race. Water stops and adequate stewarding at junctions is provided.
The 5KM race takes a loop around the heritage village of Ardagh. This allows runners, walkers and joggers of all ability to take part over a more manageable distance. Overall this is a very well organised race with accurate courses, good marshalling and traffic control and excellent after race refreshments. The 10 mile race is one of the longest road races held during the Christmas period anywhere in Ireland and has appeal to runners who want to add a longer distance race to their festive calendar of running.
The weather at this year's race was almost perfect for running. The rain managed to stay away and there was only a breeze on certain exposed parts of the course. Indeed conditions could be described as mild with temperatures of 11C. In 2014 there was very frosty icy weather and in 2015 participants were given a very very windy day with heavy rain at the finish of both races. The 2016 and 2017 event seen very suitable weather for road racing in late December in Ireland.
Ardagh is probably County Longford's most picturesque village with many historical and architecturally important features. It is located about 6 miles from Longford town. There has been settlement in the area since around the 5th century.
