    Out the old Naas road and go through Naas & Kilcullen. Should be nice and quiet at that time of day.

    Use the AA routeplanner and selct 'avoid motorways'.

    Let me know if you get lost so I don't spend the race looking over my shoulder biggrin.gif

    Do you need predicted times as well as the names? Think I PM'd the names. I'll PM the times so RQ has no way of planning an assault.

    Just wondering if anyone who did the swim this weekend can confirm how deep the river is, I saw earlier in the thread that it's around 4 and half feet deep and on the website says the deepest part is about 1.5 meters. Have entered the Triathy and wouldn't be the strongest swimmer so even 400m seems like a lot! Will probably just stay near the bank at the back of the pack.to be on the safe side.

    I stood in the middle of the river today waiting on the start and I could comfortably feel the bottom. It's not deep at all.
