Great race. I did it last year and really enjoyed it. My favourite so far. Worst race for drafting I've ever seen though. People cycling in bunches, three abreast at times. Made it very difficult to overtake.

cycle realtively flat, small bit of a drag on the road form birdhill to montpelier. run should be flat enough, not a lot of hills in castleconnell

What an enjoyable race (apart from when the rain went from refreshing drizzle to being downright p!ssed on!!).
Lovely course... Thanks to all involved in the organisation.

Anyone know when/where the results will be published?

agreed, totally enjoyed the race apart from one issue i pointed out in another thread. the fact it's very local to me played a big part in that, but it was a very well run race and i like that course, first time doing it but it has a nice bike course, flat sections where you can chase people down and a hill which slows those who don;t like to climb. levels things out for the bikers/not runners among us...:)

defo on my calendar for next year again

on to my hometown tri next week. Oly at killaloe

Great triathlon, thoroughly Enjoyable, except the swim- got hit and kicked for the whole duration of the swim and as a result I had a very poor swim time... its a narrow course as it is, letting 250+ swimmers go in 1 wave is rediculous, suggestion for next year...waves !!!!! besides that its a nice course, Sort out drafting and waves and there is no reason why it cannot be National Series!!

re the swim, there was plenty of room over on the left, had clear water for most of the swim, the downside was we didn't hear the gun and it was only when someone shouted they;re gone that we saw the race had started.

was happy enough with my swim, but it still needs a lot of work. run too.

Great race again, had a decent result but the swim was absolute carnage

Loved the course, good for PBs on the bike and run, definitely on the calendar for next year. Well organised too, no complaints really!
