We would like to congratulate the latest
members of the club who competed at Ironman Regensburg in
Germany last week, all with spectacular results and all
improving hugely on any previous times. It follows months of
hard dedicated training through all types of weather, working
around family commitments and struggling with all kinds of
injuries.
Emmet Kelly finished in 10hrs 03mins, Barry
Lambe 10hrs 10mins, Noel Ryan 10hrs 52mins, Brian Slattery 10hrs
53mins, Gavin Quinlan 10hrs 58mins, Marc O’Cathasaigh 11hrs
15mins, Seamus Doyle 11hrs 20mins, Stephen Doyle 12hrs 37mins
and Ger Hearne 13hrs 52mins. Shane Scadding was very
unfortunate and disappointed to get a broken spoke half way
through the bike course which resulted in a buckled wheel which
could not be fixed so he had retire from the race. They have
earned a well deserved rest for a few weeks before their next
race.
Brian Flynn also did great at Ironman
Frankfurt to finish in 11hrs. Race report to follow soon.

1st Outdoor Sea Swim of Year |

apprehensive time as we know just how cold it can be, even with
wetsuits on. May bank holiday Monday was no different this year
as almost 40 of us braved the cold waters of Dunmore East with
much screaming and squealing. It took some people a few
attempts to actually get in deeper than their ankles. This is
good preparation for the 1st outdoor triathlon this
year in Valentia Island in a few weeks time which many of the
club are taking part in |

Clubmembers Performance at Duathlon |
We had some great performances from club
members who took part in our Duathlon in Butlerstown last
weekend. As many of our more experienced clubmembers were
marshalling on the day, it was mainly our newest members who
took part, many for the 1st time.
One of our newest members, Chris Mintern, is only 15 but he did
not feel daunted in any way lining up at the front of the start
with other more experienced athletes.

Cross Country Championships |
The National Intermediate Cross Country
Championships were held recently in a dry but cold Lough Key
Forest Park, Roscommon. There were a few muddy patches but
overall the ground was in good condition and runners only had
one hill to contend with on each lap. The Intermediate
Women’s race was 4000 metres and, even though the organisers
shortened the course length for some reason for all the races,
this did not upset Pauline Lambe who had one of her best runs
ever to finish 2nd overall and be rewarded with a
silver medal. A great result after all her hard training. |

him squarely on top with Paul Hallahan and Dermot Power next
fastest in 25.35mins and 27.13mins. Pauline Lambe is still the
