How not to do your first Olympic: and other lessons. Not intended to dissuade any newbie from attempting their first! Piranha welcomed me as a new member in January this year: a Newbie and not a runner, cyclist or swimmer to boot, there was much work to be done. But work on me they did and having finally learned how…

Season 2017 is wrapping up nicely – and Pulse Port Beach Triathlon is one of the last races of the season, almost heralding the wind-down after a fairly frantic few months (If you think races are hard try and do a Handbook for them!).

by Diarmuid Meldon It’s that time of year again where I find myself writing a race report. Which means I’ve attempted a race that I probably shouldn’t have attempted.

Multiple ‘big’ and apparently ideal beginner triathlons came and went, but life, work and laziness prevented me from entering. Finally on June 17, a weekend away in the West of Ireland was offered. It also coincided with the Westport Sprint…

With only 16 races counting for the national Series this year we are well over half way through the season. With a 3 week gap in the season now it is time to rest (a little) fix any injuries and get ready to go again. We only have 7 races left, 3 sprints, 3 Olympics and one middle distance. For…

Let’s be honest, how many opportunities do you get to go to Longford!? Well, here’s a great one, the Two Provinces sprint triathlon, taking place on Saturday, 15th July.

I joined Piranha a few months ago looking for a new physical challenge, and some training variety after years of pounding the concrete on the running scene. Within weeks of joining, I was encouraged by other members to enter the Carlow sprint triathlon to get a baseline of where I was at. Safe to say, I thought they were crazy.…
