I guess most good races should be written up on our club web site, so when James asked me to do a report at the end of the DCT on Sunday I did not hesitate in saying yes ! I last did DCT way back in 2006, when transition was on the Chapelizod Rd, the bike route was a little short and the swim was the same as ever.
Calling all club members the end of season 6k running race will be held next Tuesday the 31st of August. Meeting at the polo grounds for 7 pm the race will take place on the usual 15 Acres circuit.
After the race, head to Nancy Hands Bar, Park Gate st. There is an area reserved and finger food will be provided.
With tides and racing making things harder to schedule a swim session these days - next swim is scheduled for the Bull wall in .... September ... shocking that the summer has gone so quickly to be honest.
This weekend’s big race, Dublin City Tri, is turning out to be a sizzler of a season finale for most. With over 30 3D heads expected to be clad in clubs colours, well most (Funny things happen to the colour when its washed loads and loads and once with a oily T Shirt). Here is your pre race filler, for the final season battles, the mini battles and the new battles expected to develop.
If like me you won't be winning any awards for your race times, don't despair! This year’s awards night has something for everyone with an award for the best photograph of 2010 up for grabs. So if you've taken some photographs at races or club outings during the year send them along to me walsh.em@gmail.com
A late start to the season for me following injury meant my first race was Skerries Sprint in late June. I was spending most of my weekends of the summer with the family in Wexford, so races closeby were my targets. TriKilkenny followed by Tri795 Bunclody a few weeks back and on Sat last I made the trip to Tramore for the Metalman Sprint Tri run by Spokes Cycle Store.
