Who is with me?

Hi guys, this is a call out to everyone in the club. I'm seriously contemplating doing Ironman Austria 2009. I understand that it is a hugh undertaking and needs a serious 6 month training effort. It is time for a few of you to put the thinking caps on and decide if you want to do this. This race sells out in less than 1 day. It will be opened this year on the 13th July, so for those of you who want to join me, please have your credit cards at the ready on this date. It is always a lot easier and a lot more fun to train for a big event like this when you are part of a group who have the same objectives - To Finish. Please let me know if you'll be joining me. Thanks, Sinead.

Unfortunate News for Noble

Hi guys, just thought I'd let you know the disappointing news about Gavin Noble's attempt for the Olympics. He had his last race on Sunday. He needed to gain 199 points minimum. It was always going to be a tough task as the winner is awarded 250 points. While Gavin did very well in the race (placed 19th), it was not enough to secure his place in the Olympics. For those of us who watched him race in the Europeans, he did us proud. Good luck for the future Gavin and congratulations for getting as far as you did from the crew in Trilogy. See you in TryAthy.

Extreme Running

For those interested in extreme sports, there's a documentory of the

From Lisbon to the barrow

Hi fellow open water swimmers,myself and some hearty souls decided to swim the barrow on Wednesday evening just to see what the lie of the land was before we bring the club over and to my surprise I kid you not the water was Luke warm honestly...Lisbon was colder last Sunday so I can assure every one coming over next wed night that you need not worry about the cold...Bring on the good times...

Nokia Charger

Hi Trish,

I have spare chargers here in work. If you dont get it back, let me know the model and I will see if I have one for it.

Roy.

Room 43 Lisbon

Did anyone pack a Nokia phone charger by mistake? I appear to have lost it.

 

 

To Tri for Country!

It was great to witness the achievements of all in Lisbon over the weekend. All were inspiring participants and I can't wait to race with them all in the next travelling trilogy trek for triathlon :)

Lisbon - Gavins & Emmas Reports

What a great weekend? Anyone from Trilogy in Lisbon will tell anyone who wasn't there just that - probably a hundred time.

We had a round up of personal highlights today on our way home and for many, watching the elite race was a biggie. Both Gavin and Emma, contenders for Beijing at the start of the race, battled hard against lost water bottles and mishaps on the course.

It looks like Gavin did well to beat of the competition he knew about, but then didn't factor in a rising star who might now take his place to Beijing. See Gavins Blog here.

Emma Davis's take on the race is also available - see here. She was dogged by bad luck with her bike, but at the end of the race appears to be a little more comforatble than Gavin for Beijing.

PS there is a great race report about the Age-Group race and Team Trilogy to come from Trish, and a small mountain of photos from everyone to be published. Make sure you keep one eye on this site over the next few days for more.

From Lisbon.

To all the people that went to Lisbon worth a check out, but not till after the 14th May....
