from Munster Express Over the winter it can be hard to remain focused on training and what your aims for the following year are.
It can also be at time when club members don’t meet up with one another as often as they might have over the racing period. With this in mind, we are organising a club duathlon in Fenor each month over the winter period (which is kindly sponsored by Alfie Hale’s Sports shop). It will consist of a 5k run and a 19k cycle, followed by a 3k run. We held our first one recently and had 20 participants from the club and a few friends and family who are interested in duathlon and triathlon. The day was a bit windy, with some people claiming the wind was against them the whole time.
Michael McGrath had a great race and was first home in 1.07.20. Martin Kirwan, who is only recovering from his injury after the marathon, was next home in 1.09.10, with Noel Dillon (Ironman!) next home in 1.11.16. In the ladies, Caroline Russell was first home in 1.32.18, with Olive Costello attempting a duathlon for the first time home next.
Full results can be found on our website www.waterford-triathlon.com.
Our next race in on December 6th, so if you can run and have a bike and are interested in trying a duathlon or training for a triathlon, please contact Helen on 087-6202349 for further details.
