Dont forget Ian F too ;-) im sure you're looking forward to a few scalps!!

Vaughan will be interesting. Id guess he'll be the one to beat

Ha hard to take a few scalps but ill be doing my damnest alright!

Eamon McAndrew in too so that's last years podium all in again.
Looks a very competitive race in store IMO.

Agreed on Vaughan, on paper just edges favourite along with Carroll I think.
Slight unknown compared to Carroll though as don't think Vaughan has done many/any races against him in the last year or two.
But he won the recent BallBuster Duathlon in UK convincingly the other week so obv in good shape.

Oh god it's gonna hurt.

It should be a great race, any chance TI might set up a live motorbike camera feed :P

If the weather is in any way favourable on the day I might spin down for a look at the action. 6 guys from my club heading down and it'll be bloody close between all six, so that'll be a good race in itself, and there are two girls heading down as well, both capable of picking up an AG medal, and one of them well in form, cleaning up at all the sportman duathlons so far this year

I know the order those 6 boys will finish in and it's not looking good for me :mad:

Thats not what I hear, after your blistering 40km TT at the weekend.

Its a pitty the guy that has impressed me most so far this year is not entered. The guy that won fingal was absolutely amazing on the bike I think only Bmc and Fraser Cartmell I have seen faster on the bike in a multisportevent in ireland .
Great to see David V is comming over for the race .
If colm T is in top shape (killkee shape 2011 woud be enough) i would happyly bet a 5er on this guy.

I saw Joyce Wolfe was running quite well in ballycotton so that would indicate she is back quite strongly.

Pitty that Joe Lynch cant race as this course would suit him well.

It would be great to have more standard distance duathlons, not only early in the year but also in June-July-August. There are lots of sprints...
Hope 3 rock Tri (and others) will organise a few more in the coming years.

Hey Guys,

Quick question for the organizers of this race. I've taken a look at the bike route and all looks good. Just wondering if there are any dead 180 turns on the course. Doesn't look like it but just wanted to check.

Cheers

Best of luck to all doing this this weekend. It will be a great race IMO with only 2/3 min seperating the top 12/13. So many potential winners, a top 10 here this early in the season would be a savage result! BTW B Ludick from our club will be in the mix too....might have been a late entry and I know he has been sick too but he is always there or there abouts. Best to everyone, I hope ye get good weather too
