When signing up it asks you to estimate your run time.

I presume this is the 10k time?

Doh! Sorry of course...

It's €30 with Ti membership and €35 without TI membership

The €5 ODL which needs to be purchased online here https://www.triathlonireland-newserver.com/purchase-odl.html and print out brought on race day, this is the new process now. No purchasing ODLs on the day and I'm 99% sure there wont be any entries on the day as it'll be full. The cut off number is 200 and we're close to this already.

I've update the original post with the price too.

Thanks! Let me know if anybody has any other questions.

Are you sure that the odl cant be purchased on the day, as the could be in Limerick Duathlon last sunday,
I taught it was only for Trithlon,s that they had to be pre purchased,

Is it a club call ?

Online is the way to go - since it looks like we'll have full entry capacity there'll be no need for us to have race sign-up on the day were we need to have a float etc... One less thing to worry about as there's alot of other organizing to do. If your worried about injury before the race and having to pay the ODL just pay for it the day before the race.

Not worried, entered and have full TI licence.
Just asking the question

So it was a club call

Already in for this bad boy.
Know its gonna be a whole world of pain...

Looking forward to it all the same!

ChickenBalls

Glad your looking forward to it - we hope to have a video of the cycle route posted next week for all to see. This is actually a qualifier for the Duathlon worlds.

Just as a heads up the first run will be 2 laps of a 2.5km out and back course which is pretty much flat. The cycle will be 4 laps which will be technical as some parts are hilly. After that you run the 2.5km out and back route again.

There might be some slight adjustments to the course because we want to avoid lead cyclists heading out crossing over the runners route but it'll be explained on the day and if I can update it in time on the web site as well in advance.

8 spots left....

FYI - Entries Full...

Fazz

Great stuff - is that 200 or 250 or how many?

Any plans to put up the entrants list for one's perusal?

Do you mean for the Ashford Duathlon or for next years Nationals?

DaveR1

Sorry. I mean as the entries are full can you buy an entry off someone who has one and transfer their entry into your name?

Thanks and love it.

But for one thing...

Tell me Paul Carroll as defending champion is an auto entry and just an error that his name isn't on the list?

I'm sure he's in.

Some big names there...
David Vaughan over from the UK and all!
Mark Morgan 2nd last year.
Colm Turner back at it.

Cracker, assuming Paul is in too?

Yes he's an automatic entry thanks for reminding me

Edit: Added his name to the XLS in case one of the other big guns thinks he's not turning up

BUACHAILL

I had entered this event a month or two ago and now cannot participate as I have a wedding to attend that day, I realise entry is full so rather than waste it I will sell for what it cost me if somebody would like to take my spot. Don't remember off hand how much it cost think it was €30 but will confirm later.

Hey Buachaill,
