Nashville Irrigation Services

 

When it concerns sprinkling turf, lots of homeowners simply laid out a lawn sprinkler, turn it on as well as let it run for a while, presuming they are doing right by their lawns.

 

The truth is lots might be underwatering or overwatering their turf, which can do more injury than great. To help you give the appropriate hydration for your lawn, it’s important to sprinkle your lawn at the right time and also in the correct amount.

 

Lawn Types as well as Irrigation Timing

 

Knowing the type of yard you have can dictate just how usually you need to sprinkle your grass.

 

Cool-season lawns

 

Types: Bentgrass, bluegrasses, fescues, ryegrasses

 

Expanding pattern: Grow most actively in the springtime and fall. They go inactive– stop expanding– during the summertime, and afterwards once again in the wintertime.

 

General sprinkling guidance: They need water just every 3 weeks approximately if there’s been no rain. If you water a lot more often, you could be watering weeds instead of grass.

 

Warm-season grasses

 

Kinds: Bahiagrass, Bermudagrass, Buffalograss, Carpetgrass, Centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass, Zoysiagrass

 

Expanding pattern: Expand most proactively in the summertime warm, go inactive in the chill of the fall or winter season.

 

General sprinkling recommendations: Some warm-season lawns, including Bermuda, Bahia and also Zoysia, are among the most drought-tolerant turfgrass varieties. Nonetheless, they still call for routine watering to preserve a healthy origin system, especially throughout their midyear high-growth period.

 

General Lawn Irrigation Advice

 

Water when the grass requires it.

 

Most yards require irrigation once every four to 8 days to stay healthy and balanced, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Solution, a department of the U.S. Department of Farming. Actually, the NRCS states irrigating less usually and using even more water when you do irrigate cause deeper rooted plants as well as healthier grass.

 

Keep an eye on the skies. When it rainfalls for several days, water much less. Successive warm, completely dry days imply water a lot more. If you’re not exactly sure if your grass needs water, the NRCS recommends this examination: If the lawn doesn’t spring back after being stepped on, it’s probably time to irrigate.

 

Early morning watering is best.

 

Early watering offers the turf time to soak up the water, sending it down right into the origins and into the grass plants themselves. That plumps up the yard blades with water, enabling them to far better endure the warm of the day. Prevent watering during the middle of the day when water evaporates rapidly. Additionally avoid watering on a windy day, which will run out the water before it can be taken in by the lawn.

 

Although not just as good as morning, late afternoon likewise can be a good time for sprinkling turf. You should not water in the evening, though, as remaining wetness can cause fungal illness in the grass.

 

During fall, as part of your normal grass care maintenance, you need to prepare your grass for the coming winter months. Per the NRCS, water with mid-September and then once again in mid-October to store moisture in the dirt.

 

Amount is important

 

When watering grass, it is necessary you do not water inadequate or way too much. Like Goldilocks’ porridge, you want it to be “perfect.” Your goal is to dampen the soil deeply. 4 inches is great, 6 inches is better. To do so, you need to use roughly 1 inch of water if you have clay-based soil. If your dirt is sandy, lower this amount to 1/2 inch of water.

 

Turf Watering for Different Soil Types

 

Clay

 

Sand

 

Loamy

 

Holds more water

 

Extremely porous

 

Moderately permeable

 

Slow to take in water

 

Holds water poorly

 

Retains moisture

 

Slow to launch water

 

Allows fast water

 

Ideal dirt for grass

 

Key recommendations: To stay clear of drainage, do not water faster than the dirt can take in; water in cycles.

 

Key suggestions: Water in 1/2-inch increments to fill dirt 6-8 inches deep.

 

Key guidance: Water as required.

 

Action Your Water Usage

 

To aid you figure out when you have actually applied 1 inch of water, put out some straight-sided containers around your lawn. Tuna cans work well. Turn on a timer and also turn on your watering system. Monitor them, as well as when they are loaded with 1 inch of water, switch off the water. Be sure to time the length of time it requires to fill the containers so you’ll know the length of time to leave the lawn sprinkler on each time you are watering grass. See “Maintain Your Grass Healthy And Balanced With a Sprinkler System Audit” for more information.

 

As part of your yard care regimen, check frequently for indications of overwatering. After sprinkling, stroll along your grass and also seek swimming pools of water. This is overflow– water that surpasses the quantity that can be soaked up, given the volume of water and also the duration of watering. The effects of runoff are bad. Runoff washes away fertilizer as well as newly sown seed, which adversely influences your yard, your budget and the environment.

 

If you experience drainage within the time frame you established would certainly supply 1 inch of water to your lawn, divide that time in half (say 15 mins rather than 30). Water your grass in 2 equivalent segments, allowing time in between for the turf to take in the water.

 

Overwatering additionally can dissuade origin growth in yard, which, subsequently, will deteriorate the turf, making it a lot more susceptible to tough environmental problems, condition and everyday usage, such as foot website traffic, children playing and animals running around.

 

Do not Panic– Your Lawn May Simply Be Dormant

 

Throughout summer season’s best days, your lawn might handle a tan or brown look, making it look dead. Nevertheless, numerous Northern cool-season yards undergo an inactive duration not just in winter season however also in summer months. Essentially, the lawn is pausing from growing. If your lawn is in an inactive duration, it will certainly begin to green up as temperatures cool off and after getting numerous days of rainfall.

 

Some varieties of yard are quicker to perk back up than others. Kentucky bluegrass, for instance, takes just three or 4 days to get up.

 

In case your yard does not revive under these scenarios, it most likely is too damaged to recover as well as will certainly require comprehensive like repair, and possibly change, the existing lawn.

 

Water Sensing Tools

 

As part of your grass care, there are a range of devices and also automatic systems to aid you in sprinkling grass.

 

Among the simplest tools is a long-bladed screwdriver. If you can not insert the screwdriver into your dirt, the dirt is extremely completely dry, as well as the lawn needs to be sprinkled. As a matter of fact, if the screwdriver slides right into the dirt easily, the yard is moisturized and also does not require water.

 

Fancier– though still economical– substitutes for the screwdriver are digital water sensor devices that can be found at any type of garden shop. They have long spikes that you place into the dirt, and also give you a readout of just how moist the problems are.

 

At the luxury are below ground sensor systems tied in with automatic sprinklers.

 

Sorts Of Sprinkler Equipments

 

Fixed Sprinkler

 

The fixed lawn sprinkler is straightforward as well as economical. It is a steel or plastic vessel with small holes in it that fits at the tube end. The stress of the water forced with the small openings sprays the yard. The pattern of spray is identified by the pattern of openings, the volume is controlled at the tap. To change the area of protection, you drag it around the grass.

 

Gear Drive Sprinkler

 

This sort of durable sprinkler is typically found on golf courses or other huge locations of turf where both huge volume as well as accuracy in watering is needed. Their gear-driven motion typically has several circulation controls that let you readjust the range the water is sprayed, as well as the angle as well as pressure of the spray.

 

Hose-end spray nozzles

 

These basic devices are a best seller. Inexpensive as well as versatile, they can be constructed from plastic or brass, and are commonly controlled by a handle that transforms the water on and off. The volume and pattern of spray is regulated by either turning the nozzle or via a dial attached to the nozzle.

 

Impact lawn sprinkler

 

With an influence (in some cases called impulse or pulsating) sprinkler, the splashing nozzle is rotated by the pressure of the water from the hose. Made in both plastic as well as brass; the brass effect sprinkler is more pricey however much more long lasting. Some models are affixed to the ground through a spike, others rise to end up being a tripod sprinkler

 

Control collars restrict the traveling of the head, and also a rocking arm repetitively inserts itself into the stream of water to both drive the head and also create an extra spray stream. The pulsating lawn sprinkler was designed in 1933 as well as marketed under the Rain Bird trademark name.

 

In-ground water lawn sprinkler

 

In-ground water as well as garden automatic sprinkler use a collection of sprinkler heads installed at dealt with places in the yard. When correctly preserved, in-ground systems give total as well as reliable coverage. The most common kind is built of a network of interconnected PVC pipelines mounted in trenches dug in the lawn. There are many different kinds of sprinkler heads to serve numerous demands. Some spray 360 levels, some simply 180 or 90 levels for sides as well as edges. Some heads appear and afterwards recede to ground degree. Preferably, your in-ground sprinkler system need to be made with “hydrozone separation” in mind. That is the concept of grouping plants with each other that have the exact same water intake practices. Your yard would certainly get on one area, your parched decorative plants on a 2nd and drought-resistant plants on a third. That way you can adjust your spray time as well as pattern to make sure that all the plants in the area more than happy.

 

Oscillating lawn sprinkler

 

At its simplest, the oscillating lawn sprinkler has a steel or plastic bar with openings pierced in it. Water appears the holes as bench rocks backward and forward as well as sprinkles the lawn with a mild spray. You control the size of the area at the resource, by readjusting the water volume at the tap. Great for reasonably small, rectangular lawns.

 

More-advanced designs such as the turbo oscillating lawn sprinkler allow greater control of the watering pattern as well as spray volume.

 

Traveling sprinkler.

 

As its name suggests, traveling sprinklers have wheels that let them move with the lawn, dragging the pipe behind them. Outstanding for irregularly shaped grass.

 

Other irrigation tools to consider

 

Circulation control meter

 

This gadget is installed between the tap and your hose pipe, as well as keep an eye on the quantity of water that undergoes. Some include an automatic shutoff control that stops wasteful overwatering.

 

Automatic timer

 

An automatic timer shuts off the water at a marked time. Some versions are hose-end, others are constructed right into in-ground lawn sprinkler to manage the timing of each section of the irrigation system.

 

Smart irrigation controller

 

Your phone is now wise. Watches, thermostats and doors, as well. So it’s not a surprise that lawn sprinkler controllers have climbed onto the smart bandwagon. Rather than relying upon a repaired timer, they make use of either Wi-fi or GSM cellular connection to get plant information as well as weather forecasts.

 

A smart controller will certainly sprinkle lawn according to environmental conditions such as evapotranspiration (water consumed by lawn) price and amount of soil moisture. Furthermore, make certain the system includes a shut-off button that cuts off the sprinklers while it’s raining.

 

To maintain them functioning effectively, automatic irrigation systems ought to be checked and investigated every a couple of years by a professional to guarantee it’s functioning properly as well as supplying the correct amount of water to your grass.

 

Basic Yard Treatment Makes Watering Easier

 

Good yard treatment techniques generate a healthy and balanced lawn which requires less water, and also retains what you give it.

 

Appropriate mowing height: Maintaining lawn to the appropriate mowing elevation for your grass types will certainly advertise deep origins and drought-resistant lawns. Taller lawn also helps reduce evaporation. Furthermore, recently reduced grass blades shed water quickly.

 

Leave the clippings: To assist preserve moisture in your lawn, do not get rid of yard trimmings after trimming the lawn. These act as a natural mulch that serves two purposes. Initially, mulch is a natural plant food, returning valuable nutrients to the turf. Second, throughout the period it considers the turf trimmings to break down and return to the soil, it will certainly serve as an obstacle that slows dissipation, avoiding the origins from drying also quick.

 

Feed when asked for: Also, as part of your yard care routine, effectively fertilizing grass can promote deep roots as well as drought tolerance.

 

Grass ranges will vary in their fertilizer needs, but as a whole:

 

Cool-season lawns: Fertilize at least two times, in spring and also loss.

 

Warm-season lawns: Fertilize every 4-8 weeks during the energetic midyear expanding period.

 

Nonetheless, do not use plant food when the yard is completely dry since it will additionally draw dampness from the grass.

 

Freshen: To assist lawns take a breath as well as drink in water as well as nutrients, freshen it– get rid of cores of dirt– on a regular basis every year. For cool-season grasses, the most effective time to freshen remains in the loss or springtime. For warm-season yards, the best time is in early summertime.

 

If essential, dethatch: Over time, your yard will certainly collect little bits and items of lawn as well as leaf particles into an interwoven mass called thatch, which can build up on your grass. A particular amount of thatch is both unpreventable and also helpful for lawns. It provides a questionable room for helpful pests, holds wetness and also is the place where trimmings and also various other organic material break down and return important nutrients to the dirt.

 

Nonetheless, if it gathers and also does not appear to be breaking down, it can create an obstacle, protecting against water and air from getting to the origin system. When that happens, it should be gotten rid of to help advertise a healthy and balanced lawn.

 

When doing so, Nashville Landscaping recommends limiting thatch removal to very early springtime or fall. If you power rake lawns in late spring or summer, they will need too much irrigation to remain alive.

 

Appropriately watering grass is among the important parts in keeping a healthy and balanced lawn. By executing a good watering as well as yard treatment routine, you’ll have a beautiful grass you can appreciate year-round.

This is a photograph from the 6th annual running of the Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races and Fun Runs which were promoted and hosted by Bohermeen Athletic Club at Bohermeen, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 12th of March 2017 at 11:00. The half marathon consists of a 11KM and 10KM repeated loop around the roads of Bohermeen and Oristown. The 10KM race just completes the 2nd part of the half marathon. The finish line is on the running track within Bohermeen Community Center. The course is a fast fair course with a few small hills. Last year the course was 'reversed' which just meant that the traditional course changed to accomodate the large number of participants and the narrow country roads on which both the race participants and race traffic must both share before, during and after the race. Most runners agreed that this made the course much faster as a result. There was almost a total of 1,000 participants in both races.

The other great variable in road racing - the weather - was dry, clear but rather windy. At several parts of the course there was a stiff headwind which made these sections that bit more difficult. Temperatures were around a seasonal 10C for this time in March in Ireland.

 

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. Having now organised the event for six years running it is certain that the event will continue to grow and expand become one of the mainstays on the Irish athletic club road racing calendar for many years to come.

This race takes place about one month after the Bewley's 10 Mile Road Race in Trim (just down the road from Bohermeen). Indeed these races truly kick-start the whole road racing season of fixtures amongst the clubs in Meath who are now famous for the quality and standard of the road races staged and organised.

The race is supported by substantial local sponsorship from businesses in the local area. McNally Logistics and Transportation are the main sponsors of this year's event. The company specialises in national and international haulage.

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

This is a photograph from the 3rd Annual Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races hosted by Bohermeen AC on the 2nd March 2014 at 12:00 at Bohermeen, Ardbraccan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland. This year's event included a 10KM race which replaced the 5KM event held on the previous years. This event has grown quickly in popularity over the past few years with this year's entry of 700 beating the previous race numbers of 680. 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 of the New Year. 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 very heavy rain that fell on the 10KM race and the begining of the Half Marathon did nothing to dampen the spirits of the participants. In fact, despite a head wind at certain parts of the course, this was a perfect day for road racing.

 

Our full set of photographs from today's event are available on Flickr at the following link http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157641717197563/. This set of photographs is mostly of the Half Marathon race but there are some from the 10KM event.

The Satellite Navigation Coordinates to Bohermeen are [53.650882,-6.77989] and is accessible using the M3, N2 and N52

 

The routing for the 2014 event has changed slightly from previous year. In 2014 the race starts about 100m away from the Bohermeen Club Race HQ [See Google StreetView in the direction of the imagery goo.gl/maps/rtj1X] and the race proceeds down the road towards Navan. Just before the 1st mile the race takes a right turn [see Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/iGrR0] which brings runners on the route of the famous Patrick Bell 5KM Road Race route held at Bohermeen every summer. Then the route turns slightly eastwards and this brings the race along a beautiful stretch of rural countryside road. This connects runners with the main loop [see Google StreetView goo.gl/maps/gLI1l] where the race follows the N51 towards Navan. The race must now complete this loop (which passes through the start area and past the finish) and then a full loop again before finishing in the Athletics track. The only hills to speak of in this course are on the the stretch where the race route crosses the M3 motorway (see Google Streetview - as of March 2014 their imagery is a little out of date for the M3 goo.gl/maps/tcdJX). The only major climb on the course must be tackled twice as the road rises up over the M3 Motorway. This comes at about the 5M and 11.5 Mile mark in the race.

We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs

We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?

The explaination is very simple.

Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own.

ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.

 

Creative Commons aims to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/

 

Can I use these photographs directly from Flickr on my social media account(s)?

 

Yes - of course you can! Flickr provides several ways to share this and other photographs in this Flickr set. You can share to: email, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Tumblr, LiveJournal, and Wordpress and Blogger blog sites. Your mobile, tablet, or desktop device will also offer you several different options for sharing this photo page on your social media outlets.

 

We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, blogs, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you must provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us.

 

This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.

 

How can I get full resolution, print-quality, copies of these photographs?

 

If you just need these photographs for online usage then they can be used directly once you respect their Creative Commons license and provide a link back to our Flickr set if you use them. For offline usage and printing all of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution.

 

Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.

 

In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting does take a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.

 

I would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?

Many people offer payment for our photographs. As stated above we do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.

 

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?

That's OK! We understand!

 

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!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

   

You can't see the lever but there is one on the left side of the steering wheel that controls the timing.

Expired Fuji Velvia 100

The Jamaica Underwear Run is a 1.7 mile fun run that takes place in Central Park every year on the Friday before the New York City Triathlon. No transitions, no timing chips, no expensive race gear, just 500 strangers running around in their underwear. Another typical summer evening in New York City!

really good or really bad, depending on how you see it

I had to break into my 365 project and upload one of my favorite shots of all time taken 27 years ago with an old Vivitar 35mm film camera and a Hanimex 80-200mm lens. The print image was scanned to digital years ago, so the resolution enlarged is very pixilated and Seurat like. Please forgive the imperfections.

The birds are ospreys, sometimes called sea hawks or fish eagles. Their wingspans can reach 6 feet (2 m). This decaying wharf is located near Point Lookout, a peninsula at the confluence of Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River in Maryland, USA. The image was shot just before sunset on a very hot and hazy day. There was only one osprey in the nest when its mate decided to join it. For a brief second I had the shot.

I’ve heard many times “timing is everything” in photography. - - - But it isn’t everything. We need luck, having a serendipitous event create the opportunity for a perfect image. We need passion, which gets photographers up at ungodly hours, makes us go unto nearly unbearable conditions for long stretches and keeps us at this craft day after day, all so that your finger is actually on the shutter button at the right time. And we need talent, i.e. the ability to artistically sense the kind of image we’re after, as well as to recognize an actual potentially captivating image and then talent to use our equipment properly to actually do the capture.

Lastly, can't ever forget the need for understanding and supportive families. My wife and three small children waited twenty minutes for me to capture this image, bless them.

On a side note, Point Lookout was a Federal prisoner of war camp holding Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War 150 years ago. I imagine (without any proof whatsoever) this wharf being the disembarking point for tens of thousands of souls whose fight using weapons was over, but whose battle to endure continued.

Forgive also the ramblings of an old man with some fond memories of this image.

This is a photograph from the Tullamore Harriers AC "Quinlan Cup" Half Marathon was held on Saturday 30th August 2014 in Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland at 12:00. This is the second year of the event. Last year, 2013, the event commemorated the 60th Anniversary of the formation of Tullamore Harriers AC which today is one of Ireland's best known athletics clubs. The race was perfectly organised. There were stewarts all along the route, 3 drink stations with bottled water, superb facilities, and great after-race refreshments. The stewards along the route provided great encouragement to all of the runners. Tullamore Harriers and the local community really worked together to make this is a wonderful event. There was also a relay option where teams of two can run approximately 10.5km each. In total 568 participants completed the race which is almost 150 more than the 2013 event.

This photograph is one of a set of photographs from the Tullamore Harriers Half Marathon 2014. The permanent link to the full set of photographs is [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157646587496250/]. This set of photographs includes photographs of the start and then photographs of the finish up to the 2 HOUR finishing time.

 

As mentioned above last year this race marathon race celebrated the 60th Anniversary (a Diamond Anniversary) of the foundation of Tullamore Harriers AC. The club was formed in the town in November 1953. However, it was almost 1979 before facilities close to what we see today open in the present day site. Over 50 provincial and national athletics meetings are held at Tullamore Harriers every year. The facilities available combined with it's central geographical location joining routes from North, South, East, and West make it a very attractive venue. The half marathon today firmly brings competitive national road racing back to "The Harriers". In the past there was the famous Quinnlan Cup

Festival of Races (see a link below for some nostalgia) which was one of Ireland's Blue Ribband events with some very famous names of the past lining out for that four mile race. Today, the facilities at Tullamore Harriers are the envy of many athletics clubs in Ireland. The facilities provided by Tullamore make it one of the premier venues for local and national level athletics in Ireland. There is an Olympic standard tartan track, a fully equipped gym, changing facilities, press and media facilities, meeting room spaces, etc. The club also provides a social center and niteclub which makes "The Harriers" a very well known on the local social scene. Esssentially, the town of Tullamore would be a different place if it weren't for the presence of Tullamore Harriers AC.

 

Overall Race Summary

Participants: There was 568 participants of runners, joggers, and walkers.

Weather: The midday start seen warm pleasant conditions for running. The layout of the course meant that there was a stiff breeze into the face of competitors for the first few miles up to mile 6. When the race turned around to return to Tullamore the wind was somewhat more favourable to runners.

Course: The race starts on the Charleville Road just outside the entrance to Tullamore Harriers. The race proceeds south along the R421 and onto the N52 before taking a route onto local back roads. The race then completes a large rural road route before it joins to the R421 again and the final 1.5 miles are the same as the first mile of the race. The runners enter tullamore stadium and complete one lap of the tartan track before the finish line. The course is challenging in places with some undulations along the route. But overall it is fair course.

Location Map: Start/finish and registration and race HQ was all at Tullamore Harriers AC Club Grounds: goo.gl/maps/xZ4GM (Google Streetview)

Refreshments: There was a very impressive selection of refreshments including sandwiches, cakes, home-made breads, etc in the Harriers clubhouse afterwards. People were able to enjoy their post race refreshments outside in the warm pleasant sunshine.

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?

That's OK! We understand!

 

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!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

 

1967 Yamaha TD1C For sale

There was no doubt that Yamaha got a few things wrong with its first production racers, the TD1-A and TD-1B. The ‘B’ went some way towards correcting these, with a larger 25mm crankshaft and a porous chrome plating applied to the cylinder bores to retain oil and increase engine life. With changes to port timing, the engine now revved to 10,000 and gave better all-round performance, but there were still reliability problems. Engine mounts cracked, the clutch was still a very fragile affair and the chrome cylinder lining would flake off, snagging the rings. However the TD1-C, announced for the 1967 season, was represented a quantum leap in the vital missing ingredient – reliability.

 

This example was restored by Canadian racer & restoration expert Dave Lloyd and then acquired by the current owner. Its an excellent example that has been on display in his collection for over a decade. Engine #TD1-C000113, frame #T1-334.

This is a photograph from the 4th annual running of the Donadea 50K Ultramarathon which was held in Donadea Forest, Stapelstown, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 10:00 on February 15th 2014. The race was also an International Association of Ultrarunners Bronze Label Event and the Athletics Association of Ireland (AAI) National 50KM Championships. Over 160 participants took part in the event.

The event took place on a 5KM loop of Donadea Forest Park (read more below). The recent stormy and very wet conditions in Ireland made way for perfect running weather for the race. There was a slight breeze here and there on the route but for the most part the route was very sheltered. With so much running traffic on the course certain parts of the course became more muddy as time went on. However, this bother the participants who were expecting conditions to be much more difficult.

 

Congratulations to Anthony Lee of Donadea Running Club and Donadea Running Club for putting countless hours of voluntary effort into the staging of this event. The event has all the hallmarks of a professional event. There was a superb atmosphere around the loop as locals and other runners supported the runners.

 

Donadea Forest Park is situated in rural north Kildare and is approximately 640 acres in size. The amenities at the forest include good walking trails, a diversity of natural habitats, a walled stream, a large natural lake, and the ruins of Donadea castle. The Park is a designated National Heritage Area. The basic designation for wildlife is the Natural Heritage Area (NHA). This is an area considered important for the habitats present or which holds species of plants and animals whose habitat needs protection. It is a special event to allow the 50KM to be held in this environment.

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?

That's OK! We understand!

This is a photograph from the 4th annual running of the Donadea 50K Ultramarathon which was held in Donadea Forest, Staplestown, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 10:00 on February 15th 2014. The race was also an International Association of Ultrarunners Bronze Label Event and the Athletics Association of Ireland (AAI) National 50KM Championships. Over 160 participants took part in the event.

There is a full set of photographs available on our Flickr set at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640976638143/

 

The event took place on a 5KM loop of Donadea Forest Park (read more below). The recent stormy and very wet conditions in Ireland made way for perfect running weather for the race. There was a slight breeze here and there on the route but for the most part the route was very sheltered. With so much running traffic on the course certain parts of the course became more muddy as time went on. However, this bother the participants who were expecting conditions to be much more difficult.

 

Congratulations to Anthony Lee of Donadea Running Club and Donadea Running Club for putting countless hours of voluntary effort into the staging of this event. The event has all the hallmarks of a professional event. There was a superb atmosphere around the loop as locals and other runners supported the runners.

 

Donadea Forest Park is situated in rural north Kildare and is approximately 640 acres in size. The amenities at the forest include good walking trails, a diversity of natural habitats, a walled stream, a large natural lake, and the ruins of Donadea castle. The Park is a designated National Heritage Area. The basic designation for wildlife is the Natural Heritage Area (NHA). This is an area considered important for the habitats present or which holds species of plants and animals whose habitat needs protection. It is a special event to allow the 50KM to be held in this environment.

So, I love the railroad tracks! You'll prolly see them appear a few more times in this 365 project of mine. It was BEAUTIFUL outside today so I went hawk hunting. The area I live in has tons of hawks, in fact the high school my son attends uses the hawk as it's mascot. I keep trying to get some pics of these amazing and beautiful birds but they are elusive!!

No luck again today...my hawk timing seems off. Then I thought I should at least get a fun 365 pic so I set my cam on the tracks and ran back and forth a few times to get these. Then I got smart and asked my voice command remote to push the durn button because I was getting out of breath. My 365 timing was funny too...then wind kept blowing my hair into my face.

All in all, a fun one to shoot!

(A kilometer behind me, there was no Sun !!!)...

This is a photograph from the Le Chéíle 'Leixlip 5KM' Road Race, Jog, and Fun Run was held in Leixlip, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday May 4th 2013 at 11:00. This race has steadily grown in stature over the past number of years and now is a well known fixture in the racing calendar in May annually. This was a big aattendance at the race which finished with the last 700 meters on the beautiful new tartan track belonging to Le Cheile AC at the Leixlip Amenities center. As always This was a great race with a great atmosphere. The weather was reasonably good (except for a head wind at a few places on the course). Good race times were reported by many participants. Congratulations to Kevin Roche and all of Le Chéíle AC for their huge volunteer work that goes into making this race the growing success that it is. As always the post race refreshments were awesome with some fabulous treats available for everyone. This year Lidl and Applegreen were title sponsors with support for prizes from Runworx. There was great support from local Kildare clubs and club of the day must go to Sliabh Buidhe Rovers AC of Ferns in Wexford who brought over 30 athletes up on a club day out for the race. The race was supported by FIT Magazine. Junior races for children aged between 7 - 16 years old took place on the track at 10:30 before the main race at 11:00. The race was AAI Permit Approved with a certified course measurement.

Lighting is always a major issue but timing ranks right up there too!

St. John's, NL

 

Day 211-Heard some sad news today, Katherine Helmond died. She was 89. I had a bit of a crush on her when I was a kid when she was Mona on Who's the Boss, which was perfect casting I think looking back and a pretty funny gag name. Years later, I saw two Terry Gilliam movies, Brazil and this one, and she was in both of them in the most random roles. And later in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...In this movie she pops as the ogre's wife, which is even funnier b/c he looks awful and she looks normal. Its a great little scene. I'll include it here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKpIkoo_4tA

She was great in all her roles, had such great comic timing, and was super sexy without overpowering role with it.

Time Bandits itself is one of my favourite movies. It has some great cameos and David Warner as Evil is perfect casting. Its about this boy who gets caught up with these "heavenly beings" travelling through time. But is he? The dream like quality of this movie is what makes me enjoy it so much. Its also very dark in some ways, like most of Gilliam's movies. I believe this is part of his "Dreams" trilogy, which included Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchahasen but I cant remember.

I raise a glass to you Katherine and will always remember you! <3

Pre-start: This is a photograph from the 2023 Mullingar Half Marathon which was held in the town of Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Friday 17th March 2023 (St. Patrick's Day) at 10:00. All proceeds of the Mullingar Half Marathon go to the charity T.E.A.M. (Temporary Emergency Accommodation Midlands). The race starts and finishes in Mullingar town and takes in some rural roads and the Royal Canal Greenway before finishing in the town park. Overall, the route is fair and reasonably flat. Today's weather unseasonably mild but very very wet from the start until the finish with many runners remarking that it was one of the wettest races they've ran in years.

The full set of photographs has the link: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72177720306781730 The majority of the photographs in this set are taken before the start, at the 3 mile mark and with 800 meters to go as the race leaves the Royal Canal Greenway path near Pipers' Boreen. The electronic chip timing and event management was delivered by Irish company MyRunResults www.myrunresults.com/.

This is a photograph from the 5th annual running of the Trim AC 10 Mile Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 3rd February 2019 at 12:00. The race attracted almost 1,500 finishers which demonstrates again the popularity of this race as entry was capped at 1,500. Indeed the event shows growth year on year mirroring the growing popularity of the race. The race started on the Trim/Athboy road on the town's ring road and proceeds to take an anti-clockwise loop out towards the village of Dunderry and townland of Kilbride before returning back to the Trim Industrial Estate for the finish. The route is held on quiet country roads with some hills at 3, 6, 8 mile segments. The road is well marked and marshaled and is comfortable able to accommodate the race at its current size.

 

The weather for this year's race good for racing but bitterly cold. There was a hard frost overnight but this brought clear bright skies and crisp air. There was a significant breezy headwind from around the half way mark until the the finish.

This photographs is part of a large Flickr photoset of photographs of photographs from the 1 mile mark and also from the 200meters to go mark. The full Flickr photoset is available at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157706458418584

 

Waterstops were provided at the 4.5 and 7 mile marks on the course. All access roads were well stewarded. Indeed the majority of the race was run on closed roads. The event was sponsored by Nally's SuperValu, who are based in the heart of Trim, and many other local business establishments. Credit must go to the Trim AC team for their flawless organisation. If the first three years of this year are anything to go on then this race will continue to grow in popularity. Runners from clubs and groups in almost every county in Ireland were represented today. For runners around the North Leinster and Midlands area this 10 mile race serves as a perfect training progress stepping stone to the Bohermeen Half Marathon which will take place in March 2019 and is located only 15 minutes drive from Trim. Today's race also served as the Meath AAI 10 Mile Road Race Championships.

 

The 10 Mile Road Race is becoming somewhat an endangered species of the Irish road racing calendar. The popularity of shorter races and in some cases the half marathon sees less 10 mile races being organised. There is also the considerable road management associated with the 10 mile distance. However, today's race in Trim shows that there is still huge appeal in these races. As the Ballycotton 10 Mile slogan used to be "A classic race ... at a classic distance". The Trim 10 Mile is slowing becoming the Ballycotton of North Leinster with the club's offering of this classic distance.

 

Timing and overall event management was provided by the Co. Kildare based company Popup Races. The results and more details about the race will be found on their website at www.popupraces.ie

 

The "Lock Up The Year" Royal Canal Trail Marathon was held on the banks of the Royal Canal from Moyvalley, Co. Kildare to Leixlip, Co. Kildare on Tuesday 31st December 2012 at 09:00. The race started at Furey's Pub at Moyvalley (goo.gl/maps/3pqhF) and proceeded westwards to Blackshade bridge (goo.gl/maps/4yVNI) where the race turned around and then the route was direct back to Leixlip. The running route followed the Royal Canal Way from start to finish. There was also the option of a 1/2 marathon (from Cloncurry Bridge near Enfield) and a 10KM distance from The Maws at Kilcock. This event is made possible through the cooperation of East Of Ireland Marathons and Jarlath B. Hynes and Brendan Murphy from Leixlip, Co. Kildare (see a Facebook group page here www.facebook.com/groups/524790427539290/?fref=ts). The key aspect of this run is that they are three races are informal and self supported runs along on the Royal Canal Way trail. There is no chip timing, water stops, marshals, massages, t-shirts or prizes. But it ise an enjoyable run along the Royal Canal and a chance to meet up with fellow runners during the race and then after it at the Le Cheile clubhouse in Leixlip. There are some nice numbers for the race today. 26.2 miles, 2 counties, 5 traversals in and out of Meath and Kildare, crossing 6 roads, and passing under 5 bridges before the finish outside the Leixlip amenities center.

 

Due to recent heavy rains the canal towpath (particularly between Cloncurry and Kilcock) was very wet and muddy and proved difficult and testing terrain for all of the runners. However despite a strong breeze at a few sections the weather was bright and dry and made for good running conditions.

The Royal Canal is a very special piece of Irish Heritage. It's waterway channel and it's banks have seen much history with both the rise and subsequent decline in railway and canal travel and transportation. Our run on the Royal Canal is made possible by the incredible hard and dilligent work by the Inland Waterways of Ireland and countless volunteer individuals who turned their vision of a restored Royal Canal into reality.

If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.

 

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?

That's OK! We understand!

 

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!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

   

Make me believe, and give me a taste of what this could be.

Make me believe and trust me, we'll be there soon.

 

I felt like experimenting. I need money, and a job. ASAP.
