Best of luck to the Donnelly brothers.

On the behalf of the whole club I would like to wish Stephen and David every success in overcoming the gruling challenge of UK IRONMAN 70.3 this Sunday (14th June). No doubt all the hard training over the past few months will pay off. This is a huge undertaking as it is regarded as particularly challenging Half Ironman.

The UK IRONMAN 70.3 Triathlon consists of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike ride and 13.1 mile run. Athletes have 09hrs 30mins to complete the course and call themselves an IRONMAN. The event is one of a global series of 70.3 events run under the banner of the World Triathlon Corporation (WTC).

David and Stephen will be racing against the top triathletes in the world. The UK IRONMAN 70.3 has attracted a strong field over the years with Chris McCormack, Chrissie Wellington, Luke Bell, Bella Comerford, Stephen Bayliss, Julie Dibens, Fraser Cartmell, Catronia Morrison and Bryan Rhodes among those who have tested themselves against the course.

So best of luck again and have a safe and enjoyable race.
