Triathlons

[Milltown Row2]

Did the Roe Valley Tri today, was a tough route on the bike, heading out was tough hills and small drops so was hoping it be grand on way back! Head wind the whole way ffs. Thought my calf and thigh muscles were going to come away from my bone when I started the run. Anyways great day out and well supported. Roll on the next one. Oh PB on the swim which I was happy with

good stuff. I need to get do one soon as well. Had you trained for it?

Have you done the Peninsula Sea Sprint Triathlon ? Looking or thinking of doing it, 20 places left hate open water swimming

Where is it? I an sea swim in glenarm last year. Bloody cold but much easier to swim in than a lake. It was a calm night though. I might look into it myself!

Dublin to host Iornman competition next year, half and full ones it seems. Be some interest in that I'd imagine, the sport is growing very fast in Ireland

Ballywalter sea sprint triathlon done today, brilliant weather and great course, finally banished my open water nerves, though I had my moments.

Third Tri of the season coming up, Lisburn sprint on Sunday. Looking to do an Olympic distance this summer, maybe two. Anyone done the Mourne tri at Kilbroney, Rostrevor?

Dublin will host the proper Ironman triathlon next year, well it's a half Ironman but with a view to hosting a full Ironman next year, I've pre registered but will see how I fair over the next few months before committing to it. Due to be held on the 15th August, though I suppose that depends on the Dublin City Council lol give permission

Was nearly going to do the Eskragh Lough one tonight but the weather is a bit shit. The lisburn one on sunday is a pool based one?

Yep. sure once you're in the water at Eskragh Lough you'll be grand in fairness I haven't done a sea swim were the water is rough, be so much harder to navigate

Not really, you're still in a group and can keep an eye on where they are going, helps
