Test Tri Series Winners are....

Firstly I'ld like to congratulate all the juniors who took part in the Test Tri and Test Duathlon series for 2009. There are some really good times and as relative beginners to the sport, there are certainly some seniors (myself included) worried about how good you are going to get. The Test Tri Series winner in the Female category goes to Siobhan O'Toole whose swim has gone from strength to strength. Well done Siobhan. We look forward to you joining our training sessions over the winter. Michael Dalton's composure throughout the season had us all marvelling and wondering at his amazing talent. As he knocked out a new PB at each Test tri we are really looking forward to finding out what he can do with a season of training and experiece under his belt. Well done to everyone. Roll on some fun training sessions for November.

Congratulations

Well done to all of you who participated in the Heritage Challenge last Saturday. I was looking at the results and the photos and it looked like everyone had a great race. Also congratulations on selecting great parents that helped out with the marshalling. Only for them, you wouldn't have had a race to compete in!! See you next Saturday at the final test tri of 2009.

Help needed for the Heritage

Hi Guys, first of all best of luck to those of you who are taking part in the Heritage Challenge this Saturday. I'm sorry I won't be there to see you but I know you'll do really well. At the moment, the club desperately needs more marshals so if you are bringing along a friend or if your parents are willing to help out, will you please contact me on 0871341074 and I'll pass the details onto the race organizers. Remember these races are not possible without the help of volunteers. So a big thank you in advance to those of you who can spare 2 hours between 7am and 12pm.

Test Tri 5 & Heritage

Hi all, just to let you know that entries for Test Tri 5 is now open (until tomorrow, Thursday at 7pm) and entry for the Heritage closes on Monday. Links to both can be found on the news page.

If anyone's parents are coming along and hanging around while you take part, could you ask them if they could help out? We need 3-4 more helpers to pull the test tri off ... especially since there's going to be a lot of interest in this one.

Aquathon on 8th August

Hi everyone, there is an aquathon on on the 8th of august in Galway. If anyone is interested, please let me know and I will email you the application form. The only problem is, it that it collides with Test Tri 5. For those of you not taking part in Trilogy's test tri, I strongly recommend that you attend this junior aquathon. You can email me through sinead@trilogy.ie or ring me on 087 1341074
