Dublin City Triathlon 2008

Ever dreamt of Olympic gold? Ever wanted to know how you would fare against world class Olympians in your sport? Now is your chance…

The Gatorade Dublin City Triathlon is open for registration. This race is the largest Olympic distance triathlon in the Irish race calendar and is widely considered to be Dublin’s premier triathlon.

As part of the Gatorade Dublin City Triathlon on the 24th of August, an Olympic Dream Relay Team, will race against the clock with Paddy Power donating €1000 to the Irish Cancer Society for every minute that they achieve under an agreed time limit

The team comprises of three Olympians

1500 metre Swim leg - Chantal Gibney (Swimming: Sydney 2000);

40km cycle leg - Ciaran Power (Cycling: Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004);

10km run leg - Catherina McKiernan (Running: Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996 & Irish female marathon record holder)

So if you know of friends from running/cycling/running/triathlon clubs that would be up for this – please put a relay team together and get involved in a great challenge….

This is a unique opportunity to compare your race times with genuine Olympians on race day as all relay teams will receive a specialized printout (suitable for framing) of their official splits for your individual team members compared against our Olympians.

There is also the added incentive of winning the relay prize – as the Olympic Dream team is only competing to raise money for charity and as such, will not be eligible for great prizes on offer for the winners

If you are stuck for finding numbers to make up a full relay team – please drop a mail to steven@stevenmoodyconsulting.com and he will assist you in getting touch with other potential relay members.

The 2008 Race will be held on the 24th of August and Entries will be via Active Europe. For entry go to the following link:
