The 2nd round of the Metalman Swim Series, sponsored by Harry's Bar Rosses Point, took place on Sunday 6th June at Rosses Point Sligo in glorious sunshine once again. We had a great turn out of swimmers and loads of marshalling support. Swimmers and marshals are pictured to the right.Thanks to everyone who helped out from the tri club, kayak club, civil defence lifeboat and lifeguards.
The course was 750m with the McMorrow brothers lining up the marker buoys inch perfectly, conditions were somewhat choppy with a moderate on shore wind making it a good challenge in particular for our newer swimmers.
The race went very well with a new finishing set up to accomodate the increased number of competitors. All competitors completed the course with some completing their first 750m race.
Congratulations to Ronan Brennan who took first place on the day in the Time Handicap and to Stuart McKenna who took the honours in the outright division and Deirdre Healy who took top spot in the ladies division.
Special mention to Aidan "Scoop" Carty for perservering and not giving up to complete the course with an intense winters training paying off, aided by some encouraging words from Ronan McNamara on paddle board duty.
Next race is this coming Sunday 13th June with race day sign on from 10:30 - 11am, the race will get underway at 11:30.
Would be great to see the same high level of marshal support from non competing club members again. Anyone taking part is asked to bring someone along to help out with marshalling.
