Fermanagh Lakeland Triathlon

Thanks to Mark Capilitan for this report on last Saturdays Fermanagh Lakeland Triathlon, where he finished tenth out of a competitive field of racers.

"Good event for a first run event - would recommend it for next year if it's on. 1 hour up the road (when we eventually found the place!). Good swim, a bit shot due to winds moving the bouys around and a strong wind pushing us along, but decent lake water, nice temperature. Great bike course, an out an back, but with a killer hill coming out of transition, similar to about half the Glen hill out in Strandhill! Turn around could have been better, but they're never great anyway. Run was great, a 3 lap off road nice run. Decent transition area. Around 120 entrants, so not massive and well suited to newbies."

Mark has posted a brief video of the event on his website.
