Well done everybody – you’re an inspiration for those of us racing this weekend.

And we had some age-group podiums in Westport too – lets keep the momentum up.

Congratulation to the 72 Piranha’s who competed yesterday over the 5 races. Lots of amazing performances. Many did their first triathlon – Woohoo!!!! Many others achieved personal bests – Yippee! Others achieved significant improvements on previous records on the Athy course.

Special mentions are deserved for:

Aileen Flynn – first women on the Double Olympic.
Will Owens, Gary Crosson, Derek Leahy, Fergal Daly, Steve Moody and Roger Rice – Double Olympic triathles (in order of chip time!)
Gareth Robinson and Jacqui Dunphy – first male and female Piranhas home in the Olympic
John Lyons and Siobhan Campion – first male and female Piranhas home in the Try-a-Try
Anthony Mulholland, Richard Doyle and Jonathan Maguire who came 5, 16 and 29 in the inaugural Cat 1 Super Series race
Conall Murphy for the first Piranha male in the Age-group Sprint race.

AND FOR THE SPRINT – 2015 Club Championships………

Anthony Mulholland and Sinead Hartnett – 2015 Club Champions!!

People, we don’t have a limit on numbers – we just needed an indication of numbers. So Phil, great to see you.

Moody, we’ll miss you!

[Bernard]

Because TriAthy do not use the TI Registration system, your club details do not automatically get posted to their records. On their TriAthy registration system each athlete has to complete (or not John!) the Club Field.

However, the TI systems will be updated by reference to your TI Membership Number and your National Series points will be appropriately allocated.

Ciara, Cathal,

when you register on Saturday can you ask them to add “Piranha TC” to their registration files – that way the published results should include your club.

Thanks

[Bernard]

70 Piranha’s in action – FANTASTIC!!! Best of luck to all.

And 61 registered for the Club Champs Dinner on Sunday!

Will, thanks for all the work on the National Series Strategy and the ‘Survival Guide for Athy’

Mr. Moody -I have so much to learn from you. I would be honoured to attend!

[Bernard]

Peter, I called around to 5 shops earlier in the year to see if we could set-up something for visiting 70.3 triathletes. I got a negative from each shop.

Best bet is to get a racing triathlete (of a similar size) to lend a training bike to your friend – assuming they are racing on a TT.

Bernard

[Bernard]

I’ll take your spot on Friday please Niamh!

Well done to the 34 Piranha’s who took to the water this morning at the Bull Wall – and particular congratulation to those for whom it was a first ever Open Water Swim! The conditions were tough – with a strong wind and choppy waters. However, next time you know that the swim should be easier.

Thanks very much to our coaches Sinead and Kris for your support on land and on the water (or in the water in Kris’s case:o))

Thanks to John Lyons for the kayak and the effort of walking it from your home to the bull wall.

Finally, thanks to the volunteers who supported the swimmers from land and sea: Maros, James Northridge, Darragh, Ross, Paul and Catherine Leavy.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Super – we’ve reached our volunteer quota – many thanks.

Maros, James, Darragh – please bring our wetsuits and be prepared to join the swimmers in the morning.

Paul M – can you bring your wet-suit as a back-up? But primary job is as a counter of people in and out of water.

Catherine and Bernard – land based spotters.

Wolf, can you please bring hour Kayak?

See y’all at 9.50 am please at the bull wall.

Bernard

[Bernard]

Folks,

the list is standing at 24 for Sunday’s swim. If there are any more additional names, please add them to the list asap.

Daireen, Rachel, John – we have sufficient volunteers so you guys can join the crew in the water :o))

Looking forward to a great day

Bernard

Bump!

[Bernard]

Me too please!!!!

[Bernard]

I’m up for an Ironman next year. As it will be my first I’d rather give Lanza, Nice or Norseman a miss. I’d also like a race later in the season – the NS can then be integrated into the training schedule. Thanks guys.
