This will be your first triathlon and so the focus here is not on doing great distances but on getting used to moving from one discipline to the next efficiently when you’re feeling under a bit of race pressure! (we’ll be cheering you on from the side just like a real race!)

Swim: 250m, Bike: 8.4k (three loops, see here), Run: 3.2k (out and back, see here)

Afterwards we’ll go café, announce the male and female winner and review how everyone got on and any ways you can improve yourself.

Schedule:

  • 7:45am-8am: Arrive at the West Wood and put your bike, cycle shoes and runners into the transition area at the back of the swimming pool (go down side lane)
  • 8:05am: Race briefing in West Wood reception area
  • 8:15am: Get changed into swim gear or tri suit.
  • 8:30am: 5-minutes warm-up in the pool
  • 8:35am: Race-start
  • 9:30am: Go to O’Brien’s Coffee Dock for Race Results and tea/coffee

Bring your Triathlon Ireland card if you have received it – this will speed up registration and keep the insurance-Gods happy.  Bring a lock for your bike to lock your bike to the West Wood bike rack.  Please post up in the comments if you can make it – so we have an idea of numbers 🙂

Looking forward to seeing everyone there! 

Hugh
