- TI Memberships details
-
Hi all, TI have asked us to check our membership details with their details to see if there is any information missing from their records. When going through the list I noticed that the TI list didn't have some peoples club on file. I would ask that everyone would check their details on the TI website as follows
1 Log into the TI website (Log in section is on the left ahnd side of the screen about half way down the screen. If you have forgotten your login then use the reset password option under the members page)
2 Use the 'Change my details' option under the 'Member Pages' menu. This will allow you to select a club for membership.
This becomes important at the end of the year when the club gets it ranking, where everyones results are tallied together. Last year we came sixth so hopefully we can improve on this years ranking. If anyone has any trouble just get in touch with me and i will try to help.

- club duathlon series
- round 2 of the liquid motion duathlon series took place on sunday 13th at the ramada hotel. there was a great turnout with 24 starters battling the 4k run\16k cycle and \4k run course helped in no small part by the strong tailwind on the bike which unfortunately meant a strong headwind for the run and cycle on the back of the course, but at least the sun was shining!This was the first competitive outing for many of our club members,michael forde,gareth mccormack,david donnelly,tomas lynn,elaine fox ,sean kellehar all showed they havent been idle over the winter and posted some great times. It was great to see so many new faces ,monica forde,russell barnes,sean moffat,stephen donnely,sean gallagher,eoin and james brady taking part in their first duathlon.You wouldnt think it by the way they took off after a brief warm up it was sean gallagher who set a blistering pace on the first run joined by a small pack including eoin brady his brother james and michael forde. eoin and sean were inseperable on the run coming in with a very impressive first run of 15.28. Out onto the bike course it was paul dunne who put the tailwind to best use reeling in the leaders and establishing a cushion for the second run which was just enough to hold off fast finishes from michael forde and sean gallagher, to win in a time of 57.20.eoin brady narrowly won the battle of the brady brothers in a very impressive time of 59.05 to finish fourth and fifth respectively.There were some fantastic individual battles out on the course and this produced improoved times for niamh moffat,pauline walsh,mary dunne,conor denneny, marcus allen,eamon kennedy, bernard mcguinness and grace fox, well done to all, the training is paying off!!Special thanks to simon walsh for providing race numbers which he used to good use swapping numbers with his wife pauline, there will definitely have to be a stewards inquiry about that one!, and also to fergus niland who braved the elements to do a great job on the timing. The next duathlon will take place on sunday 18th of may at 10 am from the ramada, all are welcome!
