Sligo Triathlon Club was well represented at the Annual Irish Long Distance Swim Association (ILDSA) awards in Dublin at the weekend. Newly installed Club Secretary Lynsey Dunne was recognised for her successfull English Channel swim which she completed during the summer. The committee of the Lough Gill Swim (Paul Byrnes, Sam McGarry and Kieran Fitzgerald) won the prize for the best race of 2011, even more notable as it was their first time to organise a swim event and raised over €11,000 for NW Hospice in Sligo. Competitors in the event were largely drawn from our club.
