CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK

Siobhan O'Toole completed her first Open Water Sprint Race in Dublin City yesterday finishing 3rd in the Juniors and 9th Female overall in a time of 1h15m50s - well done - Swim 13.57 Bike 37.26 Run 21.18. Time for the Old Guard to watch over our shoulders.
Not to be outshone just yet Steve finished 2nd in his age group in the Olympic.

Luggacurran 10Km Race

The annual Luggacurran 10km road race will take place in Luggacurran on Sunday the 12th September at 12pm. You can enter on the day and the cost is €10.00. There are one or two hills but its a good one!!!

Trophy Cleaning Duties

Congratulations to the Test Series Winners of 2010. I'll be getting the silver polish out when I get home Trish. I wouldn't have you giving out if I gave you a dirty trophy or two. LOL. Well done.

Challenge Copenhagen

Hi everyone, thanks for all the support for yesterday. I'm still in one piece but the quads are a bit sore. Anyway, I'll write up a race report when we get home. The only thing I'll say is, if you are planning to go long - this is the race to do it. Every athlete was made feel special and it was an excellently organised event. I'm sure I'll be able to convince of few of ye! Karl, I think I'll do Challenge Roth in 2012. Who is with me?

Sineads Split times at Challenge Roth

Sinead completed Challenge Roth yesterday in a hugely impressive time of 12:30, and finished 20th in her age group and 82nd overall woman. Check out her bike time - a cool 5:49 for 180km, never once slipping under 30km an hour. Sinead also kept it nice and steady for the full marathon distance, never slowing down along the way.

Finally, I am sure Sinead won't mind me putting up her previous times for the Ironman distance ... 14:25 in Ironman UK (2007), 12:57 in Eireman 2009.

On the way to CK

... and half expecting to see Sinead there, don't think she's missed one.
Good luck to all racing today and all the best to Sinead in Copenhagen, we'll be watching you online on your way to a new ironman PB!

Debut for (possibly) youngest Trilogy Member!

Tomorrow will see a young Trilogy member make her triathlon debut. Brónagh Wearen will be dipping her toes along with the rest of her, with out a wetsuit into the sea in Copenhagen as she is registered to take part in Challenge Kids. This, I'm sure will be the first of many! The distance is a 50m open water swim followed by a gruelling 500m cycle and finishing off with an extremely tough 200m run. This athlete has granted me an exclusive interview which I'll be able to include in the race report. (I'll be the ghost writer - after all, she is only 6!). Watch this space for a race report. :-)

BIKE BOX

Would anyone have or know of someone who would lend Michael Dalton a Bike Box for Budapest. You can contact me on 086 3866046.

Caption Competition

One J. Robinson has contributed the first caption: "Does my bum look big in this?"

... someone has trouble sleeping after the Duathlon ...

No sooner was the request made for race reports than Susan Wall was there to respond. My e-mail says she sent it at 1:13am - ouch! Watch out for Susan's account of TriKilkenny, it will be up here over the weekend, along with the other reports and photos.

Great Suggestion Trish ...

Some of the races our members have done but for which we have no reports include (believe it or not) TriAthy, Kilkenny, Carrick-on-Suir, Carna, and Racing795's debut event last week. All of these races could be NS next year, and it is great to be able to look back on old reports in future years. Also, important facts like Pawel's 12th place finish last weekend get lost if not reported.

Send me reports in any format - just typed in an e-mail or half-finished, I am more than happy to stick them on the website! karl@trilogy.ie.

PS well done Pawel!

Race Reports

I believe there are a few people out there flying the flag for Trilogy at various races besides the NS ones. Maybe we could get a race report/photos from some of these races.

Thank you

Hi everyone. I just want to thank everyone who sponsered me, helped me with my training and wished me well for the challenge. Hopefully I won't let the trilogy colours down. See you all next month and have fun and safe races in the meantime.

Tri in the Indo

Good article in the health section of the Irish Independent today. Check it out ...
