aidanor

I'm doing the triathlon in naas next wk and its a pool swim, has anybody any experience with this tri? how many swimmers per lane? whats the bike leg like? hilly, flat, ???? Its only my second tri to do so any advice on this particular event would be very helpful.

Lumpy??;-) I'm looking forward to it, I'll be travelling alone so is there somewhere to lock away belongings?

Daz1214

That im not sure of, im not sure what the finer details are this year, im sure there will be some class of bag drop there

Similar position to OP... Can you push off from the wall of the pool when turning?

Also... Lumpy???

Daz1214

No tumble turns but yes, you can push off the wall

And yes, lumpy!!! Its not a flat bike course, its nice and challengin

Just as long as its not as "lumpy" as Blacksod was this weekend. See you there guys.

Best of luck to everyone

Ooops my first full tri and the bike course is "challenging" - not good:(

Daz1214

Dont worry, just remember everyone has to do the same as you

They said it would be available on Wednesday, but these things usually take longer than expected. Should see it sometime today I would expect.

BTH

And waves lists are now available.

5 per lane sounds fairly spacious, which is good. Pool swims can get every messy so hopefully no problems on Saturday. And hopefully I can hang onto the feet around me.

Well done to everyone involved.

I believe congratulations go to mod BTH who not only took podium but took the top of the podium in what has to be the best ever example of how to hide your form.

Welcome back dude!

Cheers guys. Not bad for a guy who got through the week on a diet of dispirin and Vicks!!

Has anyone there got an entry they're not using this weekend?
I'd love to end my season off with this one, but it looks like it's sold out.

rodriquez

I was also hoping to do this as my first tri - but looks like entries are closed - don't suppose there are any other folks not using their entry for this?

Is Naas TC allowing transfers?

Congratulations to joey100 on his 2nd place in the Killashee Triathlon today. Nice fast course, well organised, and a good vibe.

Well done Joe, and thumbs up Naas TC.
