Sizzling Performances at Tri Athy 2009

Well done to all Club Members who participated in Tri Athy on Saturday May 30th.  The weather was fantastic with bright blue skies, a warm SE breeze, and a great atmosphere.  In the Olympic race Mary Dunne, Deirdre Lynn and myself wore the club colours.  Mary, Deirdre (and even me) all had new PBs for Olympic.  The competition was hot and everyone who was anyone in Irish Age group Triathlons was at the event.  In the Sprint event Stephen Donnelly and James Brady pushed one another hard with Eamon Kennedy putting in a great performance.  Stephen and James clocked incredible times finishing 10th and 16th overall out of over 1000 finishers in the Sprint.  The provisional results can be checked out at triathy.com. 

A big note of thanks must go out to Tomas Lynn who has helped no end to raise the overall swim standard for many in the Club (at least for me) through is organising and coaching of the Winter Friday night sessions..

Looking ahead, watch out if you are considering signing up for the Caroline Kearney Memorial Triathlon.  Registration is opening on June 9th.  Check out midlandtri.com
