20th June 2010 - Club member’s performance in Dunmore East

As this was our club race, most of our club members were helping to organise the race and marshal on the day so it was mainly left to our new members to fly the flag for the club.  They have been looking forward to this day for months as it represented the 1^st triathlon for some with the others still in their 1^st season of triathlon. 

Davin Power was 1^st home on the day to finish 15^th overall in 1.13.53.  Stephen Doyle had a brilliant start as he was 4^th out of the water after the swim.  His Ironman training has resulted in him not having the same speed over the sprint distance races as his competitors so he lost a few places on the bike and run but still finished an excellent 30^th overall in 1.17.13.  Colin Fanning was next home in 1.22.40 with Mark Hayden, who is also towards the end of his Ironman training, delighted with his time of 1.23.19.  Darryl Hale, who has only started his Triathlon career this year, was just behind in 1.24.06 with John McDonald and Emmet Kelly just seconds apart in 1.24.49 and 1.24.59.  Ian McNulty was next home in 1.25.31 followed by Paul Wyse in 1.26.37.  Michael Cox had a great race to finish in 1.30.12 with Ben Casey finishing in 1.33.01 and Siobhán Kennedy just behind in 1.33.13 to claim a prize for 2^nd in her age-group. John Carew and John Moloney were only seconds apart at the finish line in 1.35.12 and 1.35.27 respectively.  Jenny Kervick was really nervous before her 1^st triathlon and had been training hard over the previous few weeks so was delighted with her time of 1.36.32 with Anna Louise Muldoon just seconds behind in 1.36.43. 

We had 1 team entry with 16yr old Shannon Lacey completing the swim in an excellent time of 12.34mins, her 1^st sea swim race, and Patrick Quinn and Richie Connors completing the bike and run to finish in 1.36.44.  Steven Daly was next home in 1.37.19 with Alison McKinley setting herself up nicely for the race with a brilliant swim time of 11.59mins to finish in 1.38.14 overall.  Edwina Butler and Margo O’Dowd were also nervous about their 1^st race and have spent hours discussing strategies with Jenny Kervick.  They need not have worried though as they both did brilliantly to finish in 1.42.38 and 1.43.37 respectively with Ger Hearne in the middle of them to finish at 1.43.33 and Dave Forristal just behind in 1.43.42.  Today was also Ide McEnery’s debut triathlon and she finished in 1.45.01 another debutant Deborah White finishing in 2.09.41.
