The Father Murphy AC 5 Mile Road Race, Fun Run, and Walk was held in Kildalkey, Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Easter Sunday 31st March 2013 at 12 noon.
This is the third successive year when the race has been staged in Kildalkey with races previous to 2011 held in the neighbouring parish village of Ballivor. The routing is a modification on the two previous years. This race combined an open 5 mile race and the annual Meath 5 mile road race championship. Traditionally, this race was held on St. Patrick's Day with the venues moving from Athboy, to Ballivor, to the current location of Kildalkey. This was it's first year having an Easter Sunday fixture.
The very cold weather of late did not deter over 200 runners, joggers, and walkers participating in the event. There were some great post-race refreshments available for competitors in the Kildalkey Community Center afterwards. Well done to everyone involved - from the members of Fr. Murphy AC, to the neighbouring clubs in Co. Meath - all of whom helped to continue to fine tradition that this race has built up over the past number of years. Our set of photographs are mostly from the finish area of the race. Fr. Murphy AC was formed in 1970 from the amalgamation of several smaller local clubs and now offers some very fine facilities to the people of this part of Co. Meath.

I ran the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set!
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 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.
If you want to contribute something for these images?
We do not charge for these images. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the image(s) you request are good enough that you would ordinarily pay for their purchase 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.

SRT has released images of their new Viper badge. I find it too busy to be "read" at very small sizes, and a bit cartoony, so I did a slight redesign.
I am not sure if this is meant to mean something in particular, or is just a random modification of the name.
This is a photograph from the Father Murphy AC 5 Mile Road Race, Fun Run, and Walk was held in Kildalkey, Trim, Co. Meath, Ireland on Easter Sunday 20th April at 12 noon.

The routing is a modification on the two previous years. This race combined an open 5 mile race and the annual Meath 5 mile road race championship.
The weather was almost perfect, if a little breezy, for almost 200 runners, joggers, and walkers participating in the event. There were some great post-race refreshments available for competitors in the Kildalkey Community Center afterwards. Well done to everyone involved - from the members of Fr. Murphy AC, to the neighbouring clubs in Co. Meath - all of whom helped to continue to fine tradition that this race has built up over the past number of years. Fr.

I haven't done much and I do plan on making a few more modifications (perhaps eyelashes) but she looks much better without all the frizzy hair!
Exploring Photography: This week's topic is "Edited".
My camera takes poor photographs when the light is low....such as at dusk.
This was such am amazing surreal sunset with the rural colors of the dry grass along the dirt road , the vivid saturated green of the cane field , the layered haziness of the mountains in the background, against a pastel sunset. Its was so contradictory that I tried to capture it.
This is the edited version. Its still does not do it justice because you can't see the true tone of the grass.
I tried all the setting I could find on my 'point and shoot' camera, but nope. Low light does not produce the best image.
My camera is a Canon digital IXUS55
The original is along side this picture. It is very dark yet in reality you could still all the colors. I can't wait until I can afford a wacky-do SLR camera that I have more control of the amount of light I can allow in.
Anyway, this is an example of 'edited'. Steps I took to attempt to bring up the true colors I saw.
resize; levels; hue/saturation/lightness; layers and spot editing; sharpen
Speedplay Magnums with the attachment ears filed down 1/16th inch to fit into Frog cleats (I managed to get a couple of cheap pairs of Frogs a month ago for winter experimentation, but needed a third one so my collection of winterized bikes [the emergency randonneuse, the mountainhack, and the Trek] would all have the same pedal interface -- I couldn't find a third cheap set of Frogs on ebay, but I did find one pair of magnums) for a winter cleat experiment.
The two front cutouts are to make it possible to use the idle up and the the throttle hold switches on the radio.
My friend Conal cutting the sway bar from my 1992 Jetta. The mount was broken on the passenger-side swing arm, so we decided to cut it out entirely. There'll be a strut brace added after we're done working on the engine to reclaim some of the rigidity. You can see his highly effective safety equipment right below the blade.
The V2 receiver. I desoldered the batterycontacts before soldering the cables. Just remember where to put the + and - !
Remember to keep the powercables as far away from the antenna as possible.
The batterykeeper is semented using epoxy (Araldit).
S.E.V. Marchal distributor. Citroen GS X2.
Cassette points adjustment hole enlarged and plastic cut at edge. The was done as the intial hole was drilled slightly too high as the plastic insert had moved up very slightly.
Not much was gained from this modification, whilst an allen key could be inserted into the distributor without moving it, the cap clip on that side had to be removed as it was partially blocking access to the hole!
Makes you want to throw it in the bin and buy a 123ignition (if they did one that fitted, which they presently don't, but I live in hope)
