Congrats to our New To Tri Club Champions!!

[Hugh]

Following on from the Piranha Mini-Triathlon, the next big event was the New to Tri Club Championship which was chosen to be the same race as the main club championship (well actually it was the other way round really 😉 ). The first new to tri members home were:
Mens: Barry O’Mahony (also 1st in the Mini-Triathlon)
Womens: Sinead Lambe (and 2nd in the 25-29 Age Group for the race!)

Superb performances from these and all the other New To Tri members.

What next? Well for most (like myself) the part needing most work is coming out of a sea swim alive and healthy, so here’s a list of good aquathlons to try:

• Tonight, Monday June 23rd: Howth Aquathlon #2. See: http://howthaquathon.com/joomla/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
• Tuesday July 8th, 8:15pm. Bull Wall Aquathlon #2. See: http://www.pulsetri.com/club-races/pulse-cycleways-aquathlon-series-2014/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
• Monday July 21st: Howth Aquathlon #3. See: http://howthaquathon.com/joomla/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;
• Tuesday 19th August, 8pm. Bull Wall Aquathlon #3. See: http://www.pulsetri.com/club-races/pulse-cycleways-aquathlon-series-2014/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

There are a number of sprint distances triathlons available. One that is on the Race Strategy for Piranha (https://www.piranhatri.com/ns-news/ns-strategy” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;) and still open for entry is:

• August 16th – Tri the Hook, Fethard on Sea. Sprint Distance Triathlon. See: http://www.trithehook.com/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;

Also a sprint distance that is sold out but a transfer was posted up for is Two Provinces, Lanesboro on July 12th. See:

Well done, good performances all round. May be time to drop the “New to Tri” moniker – or I’m going to have to start an Old to Tri section 😮

I had an email to say that as of yesterday there were still some slots available for the Sprint distance at Tri Athlone in a couple of weeks if anyone’s interested.

I have photos from Dunmore that I will link to or post up shortly.

Phil.

Hey Phil,

Good point on the Tri Athlone Sprint, it’s on Saturday July 5th for anyone that’s feeling the urge!
