			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took part in the Wexford half marathon, organised by Eoin Ryan.<br />
Great event with over 800 competitors. <a href="http://www.wexfordhalfmarathon.com">Wexfordhalfmarathon.com</a><br />
I was not in good running shape so had a strategy to do the first half of the race at 155-160 beats per minute heart rate. As you will see from the chart details in the link that plan didn&#8217;t really pan out and I was at 170 bmp average for the whole race. <a href="http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/8047271"> Race details recorded from my garmin watch</a><br />
Finished 84th which I was happy enough with, top 10%. I need to put a little bit more time into training over the summer and I will hope to break the 1.30 mark for the half marathon distance. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a question that is frequently asked by our prospective clients and while it is common practice in the UK and US, it has yet to really take off with Irish Insurance companies.</p>
<p>At a very basic level vehicle tracking obviously offers an added security benefit should the vehicle ever be stolen, there is a much greater chance of retrieving it in one piece. </p>
<p>But at Transpoco we feel even more important than this is that installing vehicle tracking systems shows a willingness to manage your fleet in a safe and and more efficient manner.</p>
<p>Speeding, harsh braking and acceleration can be identified easily and eradicated. Also alerts on out of hours usage help monitor unnecessary / unauthorised activities should your employees take work vehicles home at the end of the day.</p>
<p>We are also lucky enough to have recently partnered with Heritage Insurance (<a href="http://www.hig.ie">www.hig.ie</a>) who have vast experience in this area representing clients who are tracking their vehicles.</p>
<p> If you would like to know more please don&#8217;t heistate to contact us. <a href="http://www.transpoco.ie">www.transpoco.ie</a>.</p>

We are always interested in Tracking cool stuff. Over the last couple of years we have been lucky enough to track a few different people in races they have undertaken.
We started by tracking a great company based in Scotland, ukdvdr.co.uk to provide them with live tracking during the 2006 Cannonball 8000 event.

<p>We are always interested in Tracking cool stuff. Over the last couple of years we have been lucky enough to track a few different people in races they have undertaken.</p>
<p>We started by tracking a great company based in Scotland, <a href="http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/">ukdvdr.co.uk</a> to provide them with live tracking during the 2006 <a href="http://www.cannonball8000.com/">Cannonball 8000</a> event.</p>
<p>Cannonball 8000 is Europes premier non-professional rally event covering 5 countries in 72 hours and ukdvdr entered it to help a great <a title="charity" href="https://sickkids.workwithus.org/Fundraising/Donate.aspx?page=554" target="_blank">charity</a>, http://www.edinburghsickkids.org/</p>
<p>“UKDVDR may be an internet based company but we are in the real world when it comes to children. We wanted to do something to raise money for a needy Charity for a while now. Our directors were too squeamish to do sponsored parachute jumps. So, after much contemplation we have decided to enter the  <a href="http://www.cannonball8000.com/" target="blank">Cannonball Rally</a>.”</p>
<p>I will try to get some more photos from the UKdvdr guys</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 406px"><img title="Hummer" src="http://blog.9gods.com/img/2006-09-13-cannonball.jpg" alt="Hummer used in 06 cannonball" width="396" height="132" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Hummer used in 06 cannonball</p></div>
<p>We also sponsored them in their race in 2007 where they came in overall first place.  Even though it’s technically a rally and not a race, everyone aims for high placings so they claimed the title of 2007 overall winners driving a Mercedes CLS320.</p>
<p>At the start of 2008 we tracked Gary Finlay and his team, “The sewing club” in their adventure to <a title="Timbuktu" href="http://www.plymouth-banjul.co.uk/">Timbuktu</a> in 2007/2008 here are the full set of <a title="Pictures of Timbuktu trip" href="http://gfinlay.com/timbuktu/index.html">pictures</a></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 465px"><img title="Stuck in the sand, locals look on" src="http://gfinlay.com/timbuktu/dscf0404large.jpg" alt="Maybe the M50 is not so bad" width="455" height="292" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Maybe the M50 is not so bad</p></div>
<p>We are also currently sponsoring one of our clients, Barry Rabbit, he is racing in two disciplines. Firstly he is in the newly formed Irish Saloon car championship for a team. The car he is driving is a Honda Integra Type R, the team who own and run the car are in the car tuning business.</p>
<p>The other car he is driving is his own Formula Ford, a single seater racecar. He is competing in this in the Irish Formula Ford championship along with a number of high profile events in the UK.</p>
<p>For 2008 Barry has raced in 5 races, out of a planned 7, with a fantastic result of 1st place in four of the races and 4th in the other race.</p>
<p>Barry’s season was cut short due to a broken leg so we wish him all the best on his recovery.</p>
<p>Here is a video from inside the car from Barrys first race(and win) of the season…<br />
