- Triathlon Training Camp...Majorca
-
Dear Members,In Autumn Sportactive will offer a new Beginners and Improvers training week. This will be ideal for those who have recently taken up Triathlon or are in their second or third seasons. The idea for this week will be to offer athletes the best advice on winter preparation.If you have just completed a long season and would rather have a week in the sun why not join us for a bike riding week at which you can largely suit yourself.Thank you for taking the time to read this.David McCall

- Charity swim
-
Here is a copy of an e-mail I just received
I'm swimming across Galway Bay on the 9th of August to raise money for Link Community Development.
The swim is 11km, but apparently with currents and not swimming perfectly straight, it works out as 13km.
Any support would be a bonus so if your triathlon club would like to sponsor me you can make a donation at:

Thanks & Regards,
Art Mac Manusa
P.S. If anyone is interested in joining in they can contact me on 0861561565. Each person doing the swim will need their own support boat.

- Aquathon Series is back
-
Well done to everyone who took part in the Crossmolina Aquathon today, especially Lucas and Celene who were the male and female winners respectively.
The hugely popular Aquathon Series that was held last year is back. It will be run over the next 4 consecutive Wednesday evenings meeting at the Gortnor Abbey pier at 7pm.
To keep things simple there will be no handicap system in place this year therefore everyone will be set off at the same time, no fee and unfortunately no post race refreshments. On the final night a BBQ wil be arranged for all the club members who took part in the series.
The series will allow club members to use it as training in preparation for the upcoming triathlons. However there may be a prize for the most improved male and female over the series.
