Lough Key Tri

Guys,

The Lough Key Sprint Tri in Lough Key forest park is now open. It is set in the park near Boyle in Roscommon, with a lake swim, a 23K cycle around the lake, and a run through the forest.
A very nice tri, and the park has a campsite for those of you who might want to take the family with you.
I did this last year and we all had a ball. It is on the 7th September this year.

Cheers,

Roy.

Bring your Basin tomor...

Hi people it may sound strange  but one piece of your arsenal tomor for transition might be a basin of water....Is he gone mad i hear you ask??? No I reply its very handy for a quick dip of the feet to wash of the sand from the beach{Bet you never thought of that one mr and mrs season Triathlons PS IT WAS PAAAAATRICK on the news....

Marshal was seen

Yep, Murt I saw him too.

It's only for the fact that him didn't shave, that made him stand out.

Marshall on Six One News?

Murt claims to have seen the 'bould' Marshall zipping past a cameraman cover the Turas. But then again Marshall was moving so fast Murt can't be sure. Anyone else see it?

Adventure Racing Update

I have been keeping a close eye on the Turas and am glad to say that Midland AR are all in good spirits and enjoying themselves despite the awful weather and high seas. This is day three of the event and they will be spending the day trekking around the Beara peninsula with visibility expected to be quite poor so let’s hope their navigator is in top form.  Looking forward to a good report from Patrick when it is all over.

Duathlon

I would just like to thank Sinead, Maeve and Kevin for organising the event on Saturday. My 2 kids had a ball, and want to know when they can do it again. Maybe I have some triathletes on my hands.

Thanks again to all who helped!

Trilogy's future is bright

Hi Karl,
Ross Byrne (15 yrs old) completed his first Aquathon, first open water swim of 750m followed up by a 4km run in an excellent time of 36mins 30secs, placing him 41st in a field of 80 veteran triathletes. Ross, who had never worn a wetsuit before will only improve on this, as he committed the crime we all commit on our first (for others 10) open water swim. He followed some one else whose orienteering in the water wasn't the best. Congrats Ross. You'll be able to knock a few more minutes off next Wednesday when we sort out your transition!
And not to be out shone, Laura Ridgeway (16 yrs old) also made an amazing debut into the world of multisport. In a time of 37mins 15secs, Laura was placed 44th in this field. Laura has never swam in open water before so she also had the restriction of the 'wetsuit' to adjust to. She did extremely well. Unfortunately Laura will not be able to take part for the next 2 races as she will be on holidays but be warned fellow Trilogy members. The dedication that these athletes are showing will have us all on edge when they start competing in our Test Tri Series! Watch this space.

TriAthy - A hugh Success

Hi guys, I just want to say how much I enjoyed competing in the 'Come on Sinead', I mean TriAthy triathlon. Thanks to everyone for cheering me on and sorry if I had no energy to acknowledge you all when I was taking park. You all helped me achieve a new Olympic distance PB. There is a HUGH amount of work that goes into organising a triathlon of this size and everyone in Trilogy can give themselves a pat on the back for the outstanding part they played. Next year I'll be the one cheering ye on. Now, I've to go back to work and take another few tablets for my hangover. It is, after all, the morning after THE NIGHT BEFORE.
