Hi Guys,
Thanks for all your support, encouragement and good wishes over the last few weeks. It was much appreciated and I have scribbled a few words of my experience which Karl will upload in the next few days. Sinead, I think Deirdre Walsh is thinking of doing the duathlon. I might join you if my knee settles down. If not, Willie, I might join you in Limerick. Dave

SPIN IN LIMERICK

Hi all, I am heading to Limerick on Sat Nov 6th for a Charity 100k Cycle and I am looking for some hardy souls to join me!!, I have done this cycle for the past 3 yrs and stayed at the back of the field to mend punctures and help out in general, most of the people would be fairly new to cycling or could even be first timers.This year is a little different however.........It still has the first timers section but a certain Mr SEAN KELLY is joining us this year and so I suspect there will be a little competive group also!!, so if you fancy a easy spin or a little one to one with Irelands greatest ever cyclist give me a shout and I will have more details up here soon...

Alive outside

Hi everyone, I was thinking of going to the above mentioned race. It is on on the 7th November. Anyone else up for it?

Marathon Man

Well done Dave - I'd say it was more of a challange getting down the stairs if my memory serves me right. Sure maybe you would give us a SHORT write up of your experience.

European Duathlon Championships

If anyone knows of somebody looking to rent a house in PORTLAOISE please give me a shout thanks

Pat on the back for Trilogy

Hi everyone, just thought I'd share some info that I got off the TI Website. In the national series, the women placed the club in 10th place, the men placed the club in 13th and overall as a club we are placed 11th. If anything, it shows how much the club has grown over the past few years and also that we are consistent. Bring in 2011 and I'm sure we can again, bring it up a notch.

The Test Trophies

Hi everyone, it is that time of the year again where some new and some old names have to be engraved on our Test Series Winner Cups. Will all cup winners please contact me through sinead@trilogy.ie and we will arrange the hand over of your cups. For those of you (like me) who are giving their cups over to new winners, this is your opportunity to clean the cup/cups and take the photos of yourself with the cup in every room in the house. Try and get it back next year.

CHARITY CYCLE

The 50k part of Sat Cycle is starting at 1pm from Abbeyleix Golf Club and expect to link up with the 120k group near Portlaoise to CREATE NOISE and RATTLE BUCKETS in the town and then back to Abbeyleix. WEAR YOUR TRILOGY GEAR.

TriAthy

Hi Guys, TriAthy features in the October issue of Triathlon Plus as one of the fastest races out there. Also check out www.triradar.com which contains a lot of articles on training, technique and gear reviews.

Help a student!

Aoife Molloy has asked me to put up the following message. She would be grateful if you could help out.

"I'm wondering if you could pass this on to members please? A friend of mine is a physiotherapy student in UCD (and also a triathlete!). For her final year project she is doing some research into triathletes and their most common injuries. It would be a huge help to her if some members could fill in the anonymous questionnaire and return it to her by email (doireann.barnicle@ucdconnect.ie). It only takes a few minutes. She asked me to bring it to training which would have been easier but she needs the questionnaires back in the next week or so and we're not back to training yet!"

CHARITY CYCLE

There is a Charity Cycle Tour of Laois town 120k or 50k for Hospice or Cuisle Centre starting at Abbeyleix Golf Club 10am on Saturday 23 October. There are Sponsorship Cards but I presume a few bob paid on Sat would be much appreciated. If you need any more information contact Mary Fingleton.

Children's Aquathon 2011

Hi everyone, I got an email today from TI regarding race submission for the 2011 calendar. I received this email as I have been involved with the Trilogy Children's Aquathon for the last 3 years.

I will help out in anyway I can and also forward on the email from Triathlon Ireland. You can contact me through sinead@trilogy.ie or by phone @ 087 1341074.

Test Tri Tustle?

Judging by these explosive photos, it seems that Sinead and Trish remain at loggerheads over the Test Tri Series results. C'mon girls, show some decorum!
