Joey Hannon Triathlon 2008

The Season has started.  Last Sunday the Joey Hannon Memorial Triathlon took place at University of Limerick.  The day was warm and dry with only a light wind from the South.... a welcome change after the Winter training.  There was great representation from the Club with Paul and Mary, David Donnelly, Gerry Devaney, Pat Hughes and Linda all entering the sprint event.  Paul set off with his usual gusto and jumped onto his bike in third place.  His speed however was too fast for the marshalls who were not quite in position along the cycle route.  Paul managed to overtake the leading female contender (Claire Connor) three times on the bike leg due to a couple of missed turns... still great work in finishing 5th overall.  David D had a tremendous race finishing 20th.  Bernard McGuinness was the sole representative in the standard distance event which was won in a blistering time of 2:00:19 by Irelands Brian Campbell.  For more details on the event and all the results check out the Limerick triathlon club website at www.limericktriathlon.com
