Well done to our Bike Captain, Ian “Casso” Cassidy, who in the last week….
(a) came 3rd in the Charleville 2 day A2/A3 cycling race (as an A3 rider). Two promising Irish juniors pipped Casso to victory but he got promoted to an A2 rider as a result and then…
(b) came 9th in the A1 / A2 Laragh Classic on Sunday in biblical conditions. Casso was the 1st A2 rider and thus is the A2 Leinster champ! I believe this means a further promotion to A1!Chapeau Casso!
Anthony, John
You could chance your arm with a transfer as I transferred my entry to Paul M. and they were looking for additional detail just yesterday even though I emailed them on 1 September (pre transfer cut off). They would require the following details for the new entrant:
Name
TI Number
Date of Birth
Mobile Number
Address
Estimated swim timeI’d say if they get a short, to the point email with all the necessary detail they might do the transfer. Worth a try I think anyway.
All
The night out is now planned for the Market Bar. See the following post for more detail https://www.piranhatri.com/forum/topic/end-of-season-night-out-after-the-pulse-sprint-tri-sat-26th-sept-730/

Hi POD
I’ll go into the inter lane in that case and I’ll jump into the advanced lane if there is space and I improve sufficiently!
Thanks
Will
I’ve probably missed the boat on this but if there is room in the advanced lane I’d like a place. if not, i’ll just try grab a spot when others can’t make it
@Darragh If its like IM Austria this year, you have to pay a local fee which was €3 in lieu of having a TI license so it shouldn’t be a big issue

Another option is head with the club to do 70.3 Mallorca on 7 May. It will be more expensive for sure but its 7 weeks out I think from Challenge Galway so perfect timing. I am doing it and then IM Austria at the end of June.

4 weeks if not too bad but it’s better to do one 6, 7 or 8 weeks out which allows you to recover from the race the following week and do you last big block of training for 3 or 4 weeks and then taper down for the last two weeks. I did Athy Double Olympic this year 4 weeks before IM Austria and for that I didn’t taper at all really for the Double Olympic. I wasn’t fresh doing it, didn’t have the result I wanted but it was good prep for IM Austria.
So my advice is do Lough Cutra, do your last hard session on the Tuesday or Wednesday before it, take it easier on Thursday and Friday but don’t drop the mileage do much (e.g. do easy or aerobic bike and run sessions), race Saturday (assuming its a Saturday race), do recovery sessions / days in the 3 days after and start back proper training the following Wednesday and taper down the final two weeks before Challenge Galway.
