Well done Sinead and Brian!

I would also like to add my congratulations to both of you. As someone who cant even begin to imagine what actually doing a race of that length is like (considering I bearly finished an olympic), I can only express my admiration that you had the courage to enter, and the belief and fortitude that you could finish.

A heart felt well done, you are in inspiration!

Roy.

Eireman - Done!

I'm not sure how she managed it, but Sinead had enough energy to pick up the phone and talk me through the Eireman race she completed today. With the swim cancelled, she completed 185km - thats Portlaoise to Cork - in 6:40, and then ran a sub-6 hour marathon with a bandy achilles heel. (Seems she brought the runners after all ...)

With little training she more than matrched her times in Ironman UK. Well done Sinead and to the other competitors from Trilogy - Margot, Liam and Brian. On a day that the club would call off training, you endured for 12 hours and more all that the weather could throw at you.

Sinead, we'd love a Wearen Web report for the record!

"Competing" - way too strong of a word

Hi Trish, thanks so much for your good wishes. As you know, I'm heading to wexford to TAKE PART in Eireman. I'm predicting that I'll get through the swim. I might even get on the bike. Whether I finish the bike or not, I won't be taking part in the run. My achillies can't even manage a shuffle for 10mins so I'm taking Willie's advice and leaving the runners at home.
Best of luck to everyone who is involved with the organising of the Heritage and of course to the competitors. Looking forward to hearing about it next week.

Eireman

Good Luck to Sinead and Brian who are competing in Courttown at the weekend.

Champers

Sorry can't put much light on why Trilogy got prize along with 2 other clubs as my ears only picked up when I heard Trilogy mentioned, so I quickly got myself up there to collect.  The bottles are now standing beside those Two Lovely Trophey's I won last year (soon to depart my house).

 

Well done Louise & Roy and everyone who competed yesterday.

 

 

Well done Roy and Louise

Hey olympians. Sorry I didn't get to see you finish but I was thinking of you. Can't wait to see you so you can give me a low down. Maybe you could each write a race report. Also well done to Karl who posted a PB yesterday of 2hrs 24mins, to Willie who on his birthday achieved a 40min 10km run and to Mick the happy face Farrell who completed his first olympic distance on IRISH SOIL. Well done everyone, it was a great turn out from Trilogy. For some reason, that I think only Trish is aware off, Trilogy were given 2 bottles of Champers yesterday. We'll be saving them for the Trilogrammies. Can't wait for that event.

Thanks

A word of thanks to all of you who stayed back to cheer me in today. I know it was over an hour for some of you, but you all made it worth while, considering I was going to pack it it after the cycle.

Now its off to soak in a hot bath and wonder why we put ourselves through this.

Oh and well done to all finishers, especially Louise. That girl has courage.

Roy.
