Hi Yvonne :
- sea swim
- tri suit not obligatory
- other events do longer E.g http://www.sebfitness.com/sebfitness/events/aqua%20supersprint.html
- Kinvara is in Galway, lovely village it is a fundraiser for my partner school
- Yes they are perfect to prepare triathlons most people use them for training and build up for triathlons
More pictures here : http://picasaweb.google.com/Locteau and the dates are on the sites.

Sorry but I'm gonna moan here! Have been looking up the events calander for aquatons and the 10k watermarathons and hey organisers there is no information!! It's maddening how can people organise their scheduals if there is no proper information. These are events I would enter if someone organising these events could give me a hint as to whats required and also more details on the when, where, why and what. Information people is the key to sucess here! Please note I am not blaming runireland or its workers, they are brillant and have been of great help in times of need, it's the organisers of the events that need to supply the information required, rant over! But would really love info on the aquatons but especially the 10k watermarathons, waiting in anticipation, yvonne

Moaning does not solve your problem :-)
If you search on the top right of the website 5.5 series (name of the event) you will find this from last year :
http://www.runireland.com/news/welcome-55-aquathlon-series-aid-ms-irelan...
There is information pack, maps etc... so all the details are there !
These events are organised by www.sebfitness.com and not runireland (they only provide the insurance and online entries)
Regarding your question about why ? well you are the only one to know why you train :-)
Regarding the other events sometimes I don't publish all the details in advance because route can change due road works, local authorities etc...... a few weeks in advance is fine. If you do publish things too ealry and there is changes, people get more annoyed. The 10km are awaiting to be authorised, insured etc.... as I want them to be Swim Ireland affiliated and there is lots of safety issue in this.

Hi Seb, comments noted and accepted, appologies for moaning! And again thanks for the help, yvonne

No worries, no need to apologies, organising events is hard, we can't publish what we want, to avoid people using things against us...... "you said on the website"
So we keep it quiet.

No worries, just notice something just in case :-)
Runireland and Sebfitness are two different companies, runireland do not organise the events but Seb Fitness does, which is my coaching business..... runireland only provide online booking, insurance, Gantry, advertising etc.... but have nothing to do with organisation of the events.
Aquathlon series 2010 info will be available soon, same than Portuman and other races..... working on it. and wait for one more authorisation :-)

Hi Yvonne,
There is different distances, the 5.5 series that I organise are 500m swim an d5km run. This year there will be a tuesday night series in July for the Kinvara National School and maybe another one at weekends in september which was for Ms Ireland last year.
