So, after a little break - ow swimming makes a return of sorts this coming Thursday evening at 7.30.
With the club aquathlon this coming Sunday it might be another chance to practice the graceful-exit-from-wetsuit-in-T1 without falling over trick amongst the usual.

All very welcome

What a weekend in Athlone.......fantastic weather (nearly all of the time!), brilliant atmosphere and thousands lining the streets to cheer on Ireland's Aileen Morrison finishing a fantastic 5th in the women’s race and 8 of the world's top 10 men battle it out for glory on Sunday. The event was a huge success and if you want to see the highlights as shown on RTE click here

In order to run the club event in a safe manner the club need volunteers.
We are coming up short on numbers and are looking to fill the remaining 14 race marshal roles.

Injured? Can't Run? Wanna Swim???

Please see TI e-bulletin below:

Triathlon Ireland eBulletin – 30/06/10
With Ireland’s biggest ever weekend of racing just a few days away, the sense of anticipation is
growing around Athlone and among the country’s triathlon community.
The final schedule is now available within the Athlete Info Pack which can be downloaded at

I guess when you do your first race of the year you kinda have to do a race report ! Skerries Sprint, last Sunday, was my first outing for 2010. A frustrating few months injured, achilies tendonitis, no running and plenty of rehab. I had a stop-start winter of run training and I guess I saw sense when I visited Aidan Woods Physio and began the treatment to allow me race.

This Monday we will be back in Howth and we will be using the all the little climbs around the hill. 7.00 Marine Hotel Sutton Cross. If you miss start follow map or go to top and meet as we pass by.

How many bits you do will be dependent on level. Tough but accessable to all.

Good luck to all in Athlone
