The is a photograph from the 13th running of the Fields of Athenry 10KM took place on St. Stephen's Day, December 26th 2014 at 11:00 in Athenry, Co. Galway, Ireland. Just under 1,200 participants finished the race today under the Medieval Arch in the town. The weather was certainly not for the faint hearted. With temperatures of about 3C and a biting wind mixed with rain participants had to endure a very very cold race day morning. Heavy rain during the previous night had seen some flooding on the road between 6KM and 9KM. Regardless of this, as always, The Fields of Athenry Road Race rose to the challenge.
This is one of the leading 10KM road races in Ireland. It is hard to believe that the race is "only" thirteen years old. It's superb organisation, atmosphere, and great race history gives it the characteristic of a race that is many years older. The credit for this goes to the wonderful athletics club in Athenry AC and the Race Director for 2014 Frank Burke and his team of volunteers. The attention to every detail in the race which this year attracted over 1,200 participants means that the race has earned it's stripes as one of the leading road races in Ireland. This year the race coupled with Athenry Tidy Towns Committee. A contribution from the proceeds from this year's race will be made to support the work of the Tidy Town Committee.
The race started at the Railway station and then took in a loop of the famous fields of Athenry where it turns left and begins it's return to the town, passing the soccer club, over the railway lines, and finishing under the medival arch in Athenry town for a fittingly atmospheric finish to the race. Race HQ is in the Presentation College in Athenry. Post race showers, prize giving ceremony, and refreshments were provided in the College after the race.
We have a very extensive set of photographs from this year's event. The link to the full set of photographs on this Flickr photostream is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157649881213766. There are some photographs of the race start and photographs of the race finish from the 1st across the line until the 50 minutes finish time. It just got too cold to continue at this point.

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.

This is the Maize Runner, a cocktail created by Shaun Dunn for the NoMad Hotel in Los Angeles, and published in The NoMad Cocktail Book in 2015. Dunn was inspired to create a cocktail based off a dessert from Eleven Madison Park (the hotel restaurant that would lead to the founding of NoMad). That dessert was a sweet corn pudding with blueberries. To realize this dessert as a cocktail, Dunn utilized the sherry cobbler format. This drink requires two specialty syrups (see note), a "corn syrup" (made from freeze dried corn) and a coconut syrup. The corn syrup obviously brings a distinct savory corn flavor but also add a malty flavor. Dunn also adds some genever which bolsters that malty note as well as bringing more botanicals and proof to the drink. He muddles fresh blueberries and adds lime juice for added brightness and acidity. Lastly, the star of the show is amontillado sherry which works with the powerful corn syrup rather than against it. It's a sherry cobbler through and through, but with complexity and intrigue guided by the dessert that inspired it.
5-6 blueberries
1.5 oz amontillado sherry (Lustau is great!)
1 oz corn syrup (see note)
0.25 oz coconut syrup (see note)
0.75 oz lime juice (NoMad specifies 0.5 oz)
0.75 oz genever (NoMad and I both use Bols, they specify 0.5 oz though)
In a shaker tin, muddle the blueberries. Add the remaining ingredients and a small scoop of ice. Whip shake (this just means shaking with less ice for the purposes of more aeration) until cold. Double-strain into a cobbler glass filled with crushed or pebble ice. Add more ice if needed. Zest a lime and orange over the top for garnish.
Note: I have a love/hate relationship with specialty syrups to be honest. They are great way to bring in flavors you couldn't otherwise achieve, typically for very little cost. The downside is that you might not have any other use for them and they will eventually spoil. Both of these syrups were difficult to make, possibly due to an error in the book or on my part. The corn syrup recipe resulted in doughy paste rather than anything resembling syrup. The coconut syrup had a similar issue. All my coconut chips absorbed the coconut milk, and I was left with next to nothing for yield.
Specialty syrups will test your culinary chops. There are two guiding principles I try follow. First, taste as you go. The flavor of whatever you're going for in your syrup should be intense. A strong syrup is preferable because you can easily dilute it with simple syrup, typically when you mix the final drink. Second, always aim for a standard sugar to liquid ratio (for me, that's usually 1-to-1). By keeping this standard, you can re-purpose this syrup in other experiments or adjust the intensity of its flavor in your cocktail by partially substituting the specialty syrup with standard simple syrup (or some other weird syrup). Wildly varying sugar-to-water ratios (or brix) will make recipe development a major headache that can be easily avoided measure by weight. If you don't have a kitchen scale, invest in one. No other tool can do its job, and they are inexpensive.
To make the corn syrup: combine about 100 grams of freeze dried corn to a blender and blitz into a powder. Add this to a bowl on a scale and tare the scale. Add water and whisk. At first it will become a paste so continue to add more water until it become soupy. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Take note of the amount of water added. Now add the same amount of sugar as you did water (so that it will be a 1:1 ratio) and stir thoroughly until all the sugar is dissolved. Pour all this into a nut milk bag and strain off the syrup. Store in an airtight bottle and refrigerate.
To make the coconut syrup: warm a can of coconut milk in a saucepan until nearly simmering, but do not boil. Take it off the heat. This next step is optional: pour the coconut milk over a handful of toasted coconut chips and allow to steep for 30 minutes. Strain off the liquid through a sieve or a nut milk bag, pressing to maximize yield. Measure the yield on a scale. Add the same amount sugar as you just measured (so that it will be a 1:1 ratio) and stir thoroughly until all the sugar is dissolved. Store in an airtight bottle and refrigerate.

The is a photograph from the third running of the Athlone Flatline Half Marathon ("The Flatline") which was held at Athlone, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Saturday 13th September 2014 at 11:00. There was beautiful weather for the event which started and finished at St. Aloysius College near the Canal Banks area of the town just slightly west of the River Shannon. This event was professionally organised and the very flat course meant that many runners both seasoned and new to the scene achieved season or personal bests. Almost 1,000 participants successfully completed the event in the beautiful September sunshine. Everyone involved must be congratulated for the flawless running of the event. This event is sure to go from strength to strength over the coming years. The event has grown from just over 600 in 2012, to over 900 in 2013 with around the same number finishing in 2014. Entry to the race closed weeks in advance.
This is a photograph which is part of a larger set of photographs taken at the start and finish of "The Flatline" 2014. The URL of the main set is www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157647516503901. This photoset contains photographs of the start (at the 600 meter mark) and then of the finish (at the 400 meter mark to go) up to a finish time of about 1:45.

Overall Race Summary
Participants: Such is the popularity of the race this year that registration closed for the race in mid-August 2013. There were well over 850 participants who took to the start line.
Weather: The weather on the day was almost too warm for running which is a very rare complaint in Ireland. The runners were bathed in hot September sunshine for the duration of the race and into the early afternoon. In the sections of the race out towards Clonown and around the Bord na Mona areas there was a cooling.
Course: "The Flatline" ceratinly lived up to its name. It is as flat a course as one is likely to find. A garmin connect gps trace of the route is provided here [connect.garmin.com/activity/199678412] Geographically the course spends much of the race in County Roscommon with only the first and last kilometers actually in County Westmeath. This gives geographically inclined runners the novel opportunity to race in two Irish provinces in one race. The course had distance markers at every kilometre and mile along the way. There were official pacers provided by the race organisers.
Location Map: Start/finish area and registration etc on Google StreetView [goo.gl/maps/8qCes] - Ample parking was supplied with some over-flow car-parking options also available.
Refreshments: An Alkohol Frei bottle of Erdinger was provided to every finisher as they crossed the line. Light refreshments were served.

Ottawa's second Emergency Service event this weekend
Posted on Oct 20, 2011 by Shad Qadri
On Oct. 22, 2011, families and friends will be running/walking in a Half Marathon, 10k or 3 K Family Fun Walk/Run as part of the City's second annual 9 Run Run.
Last year 9 RUN RUN raised an outstanding $16,911.10 for youth substance abuse. This year 9 RUN RUN, inspired by D.I.F.D. (Do it for Daron), is honoured to support The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre "Youth Mental Health Awareness Study & Early Intervention Research Project" which will be conducted throughout schools across our region.

9 Run Run' coming to Stittsville
by: Tiffany Williams-Lepack, Aug. 5, 2010
EMC Sports - Running can become a love-hate relationship for some people.
For Ottawa Police chief Vern White, he wanted to prove to himself that he could run a marathon. Last year he completed his goal running in the 28th Wineglass Marathon in Corning, New York finishing with a time of 4:20:10.
White explains that he used to hate running like some people hate eating their vegetables. He feels the training was especially tough. Today he doesn't know if he loves running but he can see and feel a difference.
"I spent the first 50 years of my life saying there was no way I could ever run a marathon. I don't know if 'enjoy' is the right word but I enjoyed the experience and thrill and emotions afterwards. The training might have been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, I have to be honest," said White.
This year his goal is to run 12 half marathons in the span of 12 months. Thus far he has run five.
He was discussing his goal in a casual conversation with Stittsville councillor Shad Qadri and that there was a need for a run like this. Qadri then handed the ball over to the person who he thought would do a good job organizing the event, Brenda Tirell. The wheels were put in motion and the inaugural 9-Run-Run was created.
The Ottawa Emergency Services run will take place on Oct. 23 and will feature a half marathon and a 3 km family fun run/walk. Qadri thinks she has done an excellent job and he is happy to work with the emergency services in the run. "It's a good venture for our community, we are a young community and we want to be active. This 9 Run Run, I think will do that and will bring the three emergency services together and say, 'Come on community come on and join us," said Qadri.
Tirrell, race director, is a firefighter in Stittsville and wanted to have all of the emergency services involved.
"I'm really excited about it and the support from business and running community has been tremendous," said Tirrell.
With all three emergency services involved, White feels there will be a bit of a friendly competition going on as well.
"I think we can beat them in the run, if we can't, then nothing else our relationship with both services are very strong but a very competitive relationship," said White. "I thought it would be fun to play around a little bit and at the same time hopefully teach them a lesson in running"
The event will support the building of the Meadow Creek Rehabilitation Centre in Carp, part of the Support Treatment Education Prevention (STEP) program. The program helps address the need for residential substance abuse treatment, education and prevention for young people between the ages of 13 and 17.
Tirrell believes it is an event for the whole community and even those who are not runners can come out.
"With the family fun run-want to encourage families and kids to come out and run 3 km
There is something for everyone, if you don't want to walk or run people can come out and volunteer or cheer," said Tirrell
Tirrell thinks the event promotes a healthy lifestyle and a great way for the three services to work together. She also feels it is great that for most part the participants will be running on country roads. A sentiment echoed by White.
"I think it gives us an opportunity to celebrate a different part of the city and a part a lot of visitors don't see and even a lot of Ottawa citizens who may live in the east end may not see. They will see the Trans Canada trail, which is spectacular they will get to run most on trail but they will also get to see what Stittsville has to offer the community," said White. "I think it will be for a lot of people a bit of an eye opener, people will see that Stittsville is a lot bigger than it used to be, it's gone from being a little bit of a sleepy hollow town to a bustling community."
He hopes everyone will come out and cheer on the runners because everyone needs someone yelling go so they don't give up midway through.
The race will start at the Goulbourn Recreation Centre on Shea Road, then they will turn on Stittsville Main Street until they hit Flewellyn Road to Lucas Lane and follows the Trans Canada Trail back to the GRC.

9 RUN RUN coming up in Stittsville /First annual Emergency Services Run
article from Your Ottawa Region, John Curry
Stittsville, Ontario - Eight hundred half marathoners and another 300 in the 3K Family Fun walk/run. That’s going to be a lot of feet hitting the ground in the first annual 9 RUN RUN in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 23.
But this is the goal for organizers of this inaugural event being held to raise funds for Project s.t.e.p., a support, treatment, education and prevention initiative to combat substance abuse among young people.
Race director Brenda Tirrell told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at their Sept. 28 meeting that registration for the half marathon event is now just under the halfway mark for the planned 800 runners. Runners from as far away as Fort McMurray and Quebec City have registered. She expressed confidence that 800 runners will register for the half marathon.
As far as the 3K Family Fun walk/run is concerned, about 150 participants are now registered and hopes are still high that the projected 300 participant goal will be met.
There is to be a major push coming through A Channel, flyers and other means to reach this registration total.
Both the half marathon and the 3K Family Fun walk/run will start from Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville.
The half marathon will follow a route involving Abbott Street, Stittsville Main Street, Flewellyn Road, Munster Road, Fernbank Road, Jinkinson Road and the Trans Canada Trail back to Stittsville. Including the Trans Canada Trail in the route makes this a unique experience for half marathon runners.
The idea of holding this first-ever 9 RUN RUN emergency services run came about as a result of Ottawa Police Services chief Vern White having the goal of running in a number of marathons this year. In addition, chief White is heavily involved in promoting Project s.t.e.p. and healthy living in general.
This all led to the idea of holding a local half marathon and after various dates were investigated, including some as early as July, the Saturday, Oct. 23 date was decided upon.
The name 9 RUN RUN came about thanks to Ben von Jagow of Stittsville whose mother, Karen, is a running partner of Brenda Tirrell. It was being called the Ottawa Emergency Services Run in its early planning stages until Ben made the suggestion that it be called the 9 RUN RUN, a takeoff on the 9-1-1 phone number that is called to access emergency services.
“We thought that was very clever of Ben,” Brenda said in her presentation to the Rotary Club and the 9 RUN RUN name was adopted.
The three emergency services, fire, police and paramedic service, are all supporting the event and will be involved. There have also been corporate sponsors who have come on board such as Bradley’s Insurance, BMO Nesbitt Burns, Coldwell Banker First Ottawa Realty, McDonald’s (Stittsville and Kanata), Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited, Kunstadt Sports, Creo Marketing, the Running Room, Bob FM 93.9, the A Channel, Zoom Photo, the city of Ottawa and Popeye’s Supplements.
The Stittsville Rotarians are also going to be involved in some way. A Shelter Box, the disaster relief program which the Rotary Club in Stittsville has been supporting, may be set up along the route. Rotary Club members may also be staffing one of the water stations along the route.
But there is going to be more at this 9 RUN RUN event than just running and walking. There will be the Chief’s Chili Cookoff, a friendly event that will test rival recipes. Participants will be able to enjoy the results of this cookoff as part of their free post-race lunch.
The Ottawa Paramedic Service’s trauma rescue unit will be on site for viewing, as will Ottawa Fire Service vehicles and the Ottawa Police Service’s canine unit.
The half marathon run will be starting at 9 a.m. while the Family Fun walk/run will get underway at 9:30 a.m.
Registration is now open at www.runrun.ca or at www.events.runningroom.com. Registration fees for the half marathon are $70 per person while the registration fee for the 3K Family Fun walk/run is $20 per participant.
The registration includes not only the event itself but a free post race BBQ with the chili, a free long sleeve technical t-shirt for the half marathon or a free cotton t-shirt for the Family Fun run/walk, a free iRun magazine subscription and free medals. Everyone will also be eligible for a door prize draw.

9 Run Run Event Raises $16,911
By Tiffany Williams-Lepack, EMC News - posted Nov. 18, 2010
It was a five alarm success as runners and walkers raised $16,911 for charity in the first ever 9 Run Run on Oct. 23.
The emergency services half marathon and 3 km family walk/run was in support of the building of the Meadow Creek Rehabilitation Centre in Carp as part of Project s.t.e.p. (support, treatment, education and prevention) and the official cheque presentation was made on Nov. 9 at Ottawa City Hall.
The race came about as part of Ottawa Police chief Vern White's goal to run a half marathon each month and through the hard work and dedication of more than 140 volunteers the race went off with only a few small glitches.
White was amazed at the success of the event as it was bigger than he thought it would be.
"I thought it was going to be a great event and we would get a couple hundred people, raise a little bit of money and raise a fair amount of awareness," said White. "Instead we had almost 900 people, raised a fair amount of money and I think raised a lot of awareness, particularly in that area of the community. People downtown hear about and have these discussions a lot but in the west end it's not on everyone's lips so I thought it was great."
This was his tenth half-marathon of 2010 and White admits that with a time of two hours and ten minutes it was slow. But he enjoyed chatting with the many volunteers, thanking as many of them as he could.
Race director Brenda Tirrell thought it was a fantastic event due to all the volunteers and support from the community. She was especially excited with the many signs that local businesses put up welcoming runners and walkers to the community.
Stittsville councillor Shad Qadri gives the credit to Tirrell and her team of organizers and is looking forward to next year. He hopes he is well enough to participate. He was pleased with the turnout with participants from right across the city and the surrounding areas as well as the large emergency service presence.
"What a way to showcase our emergency services to the community to say look we don't just keep you protected but we make you a community and participate in the community," said Qadri.
Tirrell says they learned a few things and are looking to add a 5 or 10 km run for next year and dealing with a lunch issue.
"We learned to serve the food a bit earlier," she said with a laugh.
"People are always hungry."
Everyone was impressed with the police, fire and paramedic presence and she felt it was important for them to be there.
"There was a lot of police brass and tremendous coverage by paramedics. They were at every water station which was pretty much unheard of," said Tirrell. "It was their event, they understood that they needed to showcase what they had. It was great to have the fire presence there too with their truck."
Other suggestions for next year include working more with OC Transpo and Ottawa Police to ensure that road closures are a minimum.
The race winner, Rick Hillier of Ottawa, also ran into a small problem at the finish line.
"He ran past because, here's a little glitch or learning curve that we had, with about 20 metres left we didn't direct them in the right way and he went past the finish and turned around and came back and still finished first," said Tirrell.
"He took it all in stride and was laughing about it, a great sport about it. The first, second and third were so close they all went by it and came back and all thought it was quite funny, they took it all in stride."
She was also impressed that for such a small event they had Dr. John Hooper as their medical director who stayed on site all day in case he was needed.
Overall everyone was quite surprised with the amount of money the race raised and how smoothly it ran.
"We had initially hoped to raise about $10,000 so next year it's only going to get bigger and the cheque is going to get bigger. Hopefully our expenses will be a little bit less. The first year there is a learning curve," said Tirrell.
"We wanted to make sure we did it right the first year and hope that people will come back next year."
Planning is already under way for next year's race on Oct.22, 2011 at Sacred Heart Catholic High School.

Shot cottons always inspire me! The colors, variety and feel - is heaven! I love this design and how it is simple, yet has a classy and elegant feel to it. The design would be great in any dining room, the variety of colors match any decor and the statement is modern!
I think you can add any accessory to this style! It isn't limited to one theme..one color...one style! having something that you can 'dress up or dress down' is a big plus!
2020 was a crazy year. We graduated a senior and his year was basically cut short. Took some senior photos but never really posted so here are a few only a few months late. There were a few bright spots in 2020.
The SPAR Great Ireland Run 2013 was held in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland on Sunday 14th April 2013 at 13:10 and 13:30 respectively. The Great Ireland Run is now probably the largest 10KM running event in Ireland. The race also incorporates the AAI National 10km Championships. This category is for club athletes in Ireland only. However, there is also the main field race where anyone, regardless of being with an athletic club or not, can enter and race. The elite women and club women's race started at 13:10 whilst the male club and main field event started at 13:30. The race starts on Chesterfield Avenue and takes a clockwise route - first over to the Blackhorse Avenue sid of the park, crossing Chesterfield avenue again. The race then descends down the Kyber pass before the runners must take the challenge of the famous S-Bends on the Chapelizod side including a steep climb at 7KM. Finally the race winds its way around the Furry Glen, before finishing very close to the starting point of the race.
These photographs are taken at the 7 KM marker on Chapelizod Hill. They are from the time period 13:35 (leading elite women) until all waves have passed this point (approximately 14:42). There are no start or finish line photographs.

I really enjoyed taking these photographs. It is the first time in a long time where I have been able to photograph a race I was not participating in. It was a really great experience. Despite the tough course and the horrible head winds I got so many nods and "hellos" from hundreds of runners I knew there and from thousands of others I have yet to get to know ;-) It is a really great event.

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.

That's OK! We understand!

This is a photograph from the 5th annual Craughwell 10 Mile Road Race which took place in Craughwell Village, Co. Galway, Ireland on Sunday 23rd March 2014 at 13:00. The 'Craughwell 10' has grown quickly to become not just one of Connaught's best known and attended road races but one of Ireland's best road races. Rather uniquely for road races in Ireland today the Craughwell 10 Mile road race offers a fully traffic free route for participants. The fast primarily flat course brings participants on the network of rural country roads to the west of Craughwell village. This year's event attracted a record number of over 650 participants building on the 600+ finishers from last year's race (results available below).

The organisation team of Craughwell AC and a huge team of volunteers from the local community deserve great praise and congratulations on the excellent work that they put into making the Craughwell 10 such an outstanding success. A race of this size is a mammoth undertaking and it's flawless organisation is a tribute to the volunteer work behind the scenes.
Route Description
The race starts in Craughwell Village and then heads west on country roads. The route takes a right turn after 1KM and heads north towards Caheradine. The route then takes a left and heads west again towards the N18. After 4 miles the race takes another left (goo.gl/maps/khTi4) heading south. Just before 6 miles another left turn brings the race back towards Craughwell village. This leaves the runners with a straight run to the finish area from here and the finish in the Primary School. There was a stiff cold breeze at different parts of the course but for the most part there was good stretches of tail winds also. There were water stations at two points in the course.
The AAI County Galway 10 mile Road Race Championships took place in conjunction with the race today which ensured that there was great competition amongst Co. Galway based clubs at all categories.
The spread of refreshments after the race was incredible. Every taste was catered for. The organisers were thoughtful enough to include a wide range of gluten free goodies for participants after the race.
