Metalman Swim Series Round 1 Results

We were blessed with sunshine and flat, perfect swimming conditions for the first round of the Metalman Swim Series today, sponsored by Harry's Bar, Rosses Point. We had a big turnout of 44 swimmers, all club members.

Thanks go to Christy and the Civil Defence Lifeboat Crew, The McMorrow Brothers who laid the course out, Race Referee Phelim O'Doherty, Tim and the Sligo Kayak Club members, Lifeguard Rory O'Connor, Ronan McNamara on paddle board, Registrars Cecilia McGuinness & Wayne McNulty, Keiran Fitzgerald, Paul Burns and all the others who helped on the day.

We had a very disappointing number of competitors bringing marshals with them today.
4 Kayak club members and 3 Civil Defence Lifeboat Crew gave up their morning to help at this club event and we only had 2 or 3 competitors bring a marshal. The event cannot run without competitor support. Please bring a brother / friend / wife / husband etc to marshal with you so we don't run into problems on the day. Thanks to those who did bring someone and helped.

Congrats to newcomer Joe Waters who took first place in the time handicap, Scot Reid who looks to be successfully defending his title in the outright division and to Martha who narrowly took first place in the ladies division.

Particular congratulations go to new club members Roy Kelly, Kate Hawney, Mary Eglington and Maureen Laffey who completed their first ever 750m sea swim, setting them all up well for their first full distance triathlons and the remaining swim series races.

The handicaps will be recalculated for the next race based on today's results, so expect some changes.
