[Event] Quiet Man Sprint

pgibbo

I know most people on here are doing Kilkee but I was wondering if anyone is doing the Quiet Man in Cong on the Sunday? Nice course and very well organised event.

I was thinking of entering but I've decided against it.

Hes dodging Green and Red, he was in for Cong as well till he heard the Mayo Goliath was doing it

99% certain I will be doing The Quiet Man as well, a rare saturday work outing should not extend into sunday

Will have to wear the 2 piece, my Aldi one is a bit see through and its a bit cheeky wearing the old club gear so I will have to skip breakfast that day

Womens should be very competitive if Celia and Edel are in, that Connolly girl is very strong on the run too but the two fish should have a massive lead coming out of the water. Is Marie Boyle entered as well, her swimming has come in well so she will be in contention as well

Mens should be a cakewalk for Green and Red

The man with one arm and a broken bike!I'll be happy to get out of the water at this stage.

I presume thats Edel Tighe, strong girl. Lorraine Carey could easily be up for it as well

Green&Red

Ya i sat down for a 5 minute cry alright but they took that out of my chip time, compassionate leave

Bike is currently in for repair, hoping to have it back next week

Green&Red

Yip that's the plan anyway. Any idea on what kind of numbers they are expecting?

Who knows, I know TI will always have scheduling problems with all the races these days but for the few amount of sprints held in Connacht to have two club races on the same day is ludicrous

I would expect a lot of others will be doing Kilkee the previous day and understandably wont be up for a sprint the following day

just wish to thank the organisers TriLakes for the fantastic event that took place yesterday. I was blown away by the friendly atmosphere and the goody bag was a nice surprise compared to others that i've received at some of the 'better known' events. Hope to be back next year.

Well organised event, although it was the worst triathlon I've ever done personally. Slow swim, my saddle dropped to the base after 2k of the bike, so a terrible bike split and mentally shot.

Lovely location though and the run was beautiful, lots of roots on the trail run but they were well highlighted with white paint.

One comment I did have was on the turnaround for the bike, the marshall was standing in the middle of the road, I presumed she was the cone/turnaround, whereas when I got to her she was pointing to a yellow mark on the road 5 yards in front of her. Which the two lads coming behind me did she as she was then pointing to it, so I lost two spots over that.

CW, the OH apologises again, she felt awful bad. Apparently a lot of people had gone wrong out of transition.

I reckon you knew you were on a bad day and for fear of me catching you on the run you tipped her the nod to scupper me.

Lovely day for it and great course - delighted I entered!

Green&Red

There was that alright

One other small complaint is the relays, why were they not sent off in the second wave?
I think it would be nice for the first across the line to be the actual winner and not a relay thats won by a mile
