Warrior of the Sea 2011 Open for Entry

Entry for the Warrior of the Sea Swim is now open. This is a race a lot of Sligo Triathlon Club members took on last summer and everyone enjoyed what was a challenging and well organised race across Sligo Bay. Contact Scot Reid: reidscot@gmail.com for more information or if you have any questions. Entry is available online www.wots.biz

This is being run as an independent event and is not a Sligo Triathlon Club event.


"6 kilometers of wild Atlantic Open Water sit between Rosses Point and Strandhill.
Test yourself against the elements in this truly unique open water swim.
Three broad inlets reach out into the Atlantic through Sligo Bay carrying hundreds of thousands of tonnes of water every second. Using this raw power, the race leaves Rosses Point, following in the wake of the Famine Ships before sling shotting around Coney and Maguines Islands and heading across Sligo Bay into the heaving waves of Strandhill and exiting the water under the gaze of Queen Maieve.
