Triathlon Ireland Event Calendar Released

The triathlon ireland calendar is now out, here's the irish triathlon calendar as well
There's tonnes of events on and a few that will be added soon so we're spoiled for choice.
Mullaghmore is not on the TI list yet but is on Sat 16th June
Local highlights include:

  • Rosses Point (Sprint & Olympic)
  • Mullaghmore (Sprint)
  • Westport (Sprint)
  • Lough Key (Sprint)
  • Blacksod (Olympic)
  • Humbert Challenge (Sprint & Half Ironman)
  • Letterkenny (Sprint)
  • Ballina (Sprint)
  • Cong (Sprint)
It's good to support local events and events run by Triathlon clubs, the money then goes back into the sport unlike the commercial events where it goes to the promoter. Worth checking this beforehand.

The details of the Try a Tri event will be out soon and is an excellent way to get ready for your first triathlon in the summer. This event has a shorter pool swim and shortened run and bike.

The club will also be running training events for members only.
These include the Duathlon Series, Bike Time Trials and Swim Series. These are a great way to get sharpened and ready for the summer season and really suitable for all abilites.
Details on all these will follow.
