    Who's up for this tomorrow evening? Really looking forward to it.

    Last year I heard a marshall calling a couple of numbers as I exited the water ("18, 22" I think)- anyone have an idea what they mean? (Position? Time?)

    Position. The need to count out the same number of athletes as they counted in for obvious reasons.

    Very well organised race tonight, take a bow Wicklow Tri Club. Easy registration, good marshaling, lovely spread of sambos and soup afterwards, and most importantly two dates circled on the calendar to try and take back scalps lost tonight.:)

    that was your swim time last year .......
    hardly the same this year judging from your 400 m tt it was prob 9 min flat this year with the current being quite pushy.

    Good to meet you again last night KG, loving the capri look you've taken to your wetsuit :p The height of fashion!!
    This man has a fine calf and he ain't afraid to show it

    A strong current last night, felt like someone put their hand on my bum and gave me a good push on a few occassions :)
    Another really well run no fuss race, top marks to Wicklow tri again, a nice confidence booster heading into Dunmore East this weekend

    Results are up on the wicklow tri forum here

    Well done on the podium finish!

    Great event as always. I had a mare of a swim - had to stop twice during it, then afterwards to get my contact lenses out. Had fun on the run though seeing how many I could catch. Well done on third Peter.

    Did Suzy Macken go back out after the finish and do another lap?? She seems to have two times listed.

    Just a reminder that the second race in the Bray Aquathon series is on this Wednesday evening. Anybody thinking of racing can enter on the night. Registration will be on in the Martello on the seafront.

    Weather looks good and it is a high tide so should make for cracking race conditions. The fun fair is also in town this month so plenty to do for the family while they wait.

    3rd and final race of this series is on tonight.

    I intend entering but my legs are in bits- anyone fancy entering as a relay team, I'll swim if you run?

    Would love to do this, alas i have been off proper running for near two weeks due to a muscle in my ass in spasm! Finally got it sorted on Monday with today being the first trial run so a race would not be ideal! Pity as i really wanted to do this one and there aren't many more on this year

    Once again an absolute pleasure to partake in this race, due to the hard work of Wicklow Tri. Everything from registration onwards is seamless, and the soup and sambos at the end were a real treat. For €15 a pop these races are astounding value and hugely enjoyable- the best races are always cheap club races where the currency is volunteers- well done to everyone involved!

    yep great races.

    I thought tonight looked to be the strongest field i've seen out of the 7 i've done. could be wrong.

    the soup makes these races.

    I was talking to one of the lads in our club after the race who had done a few aquathlons around the mullingar area. I think he said three and they were a fiver each. Its a massive jump up to €15. Is it just a case of wicklow tri realising they can charge 15 and stillget high numbers ? i can't see what additional costs they have that athlone tri and lanesboro tri have don't ?
    This isnt a pop at wicklow tri, just curious

    Guessing here, but the difference between running a race in the sea vs a lake and the risks involved may be a factor. I would imagine demand is the big one though.

    as in insurance ? i can't imagine its triple the insurance costs
    i agree i presume they are squeezing as much as possible out of it based on demand.

    I will join the race you organice for a 5er with soup and sandwitch.
    have an ambulance, drinks somebody shouting your swim exit time, have around 10 marshalles in registration and on the course etc etc



    you can do this race for free, call 3 mates go there in a evening do the swim and the run and there you go you have a free race.

    There is a choice

    pipe down a little Peter. I said it wasnt a pop at Wicklow tri or this race in particular. it was a genuine question.
    If you had read my post properly you ahve realised i said that three other races in the midlands were a 5er a pop, all marshalled etc (which doesnt cost anything so i'm not sure why you are including that)
    i would have thought all those costs you listed were free or sponsored, i could of course be wrong. hence this question in the first place.

    Those races help to keep the membership of the club that organices a race down .
    Most clubs give a doantion to the water saftey people (club)
    Ambulance is usually not free.

    Personally i find it a bit funny that some are happy to do an ironman branded race and then dont want a club to make a few euro for a great race.
