    It's about bloody time Lanesboro got the national Sprint champs. Longford being the spiritual home of triathlon in Ireland and all that :);)

    Good to see dates for NS races published so early. As one season finishes time to start planning the next.

    Disappointing to see Dunmore East losing NS status, not surprised at Athy though - shocking organisation this year. Wicklow looks interesting - any info?

    Agree about Dunmore East, great race.

    Scratching my head about who is organising the Wicklow race. I asked a couple of Wicklow Tri members about it tonight and they hadn't heard anything about it.

    mightyily impressed with that list for a few reasons
    1) Great to see N Tipp Sprint get NS again. given it hasn't run last 2 years it pretty much guarantees it will have to next year
    2)great to see Nat Champs back at Kilkee.
    3)Lost Sheep NC again. Proper Order


    might make 2 out of the 3 of those.

    Any gossip on who is organising it? (The Sporting Proud crowd perhaps?)

    The R750 south is a great spin. Coming back via the old N11? Very little traffic now the new motorway opened. More clothesline jabbering;)

    With it being NS, I assumed Wicklow Tri were organising, it seems a safer bet to give a NS race to a club in its first year than a commercial entity.

    Mah, if anything I think its a good thing. The whole festival of tris things tends to result in farcial organisation of a good few of them. Maybe this way they bin the sprint and olympic and focus on the LC

    This looks like a great list overall. One big surprise for me is Dunmore East being out. Maybe the bike course cost them? Out and back on open road?? dare I mention the D word?

    Tri the Hook was a million times better this year than last and I had kind of settled in my mind that the NS last year didn't suit them. Only fault this year was the crossover (Run crosses bike course - IMO and accident waiting to happen). And Kurt - the swim was full length (or even longer).

    Looks like TI finally listened to opinion about Athy. Too much being tried there on one day. Serious negative feedback this year. Very interesting to see what numbers they get this year.

    Wicklow is a mystery by the looks of it.

    Interesting that they have also announced the Hardman as the long distance national champs (but not NS).

    I agree Dave...It bothers me when they try to do this. Hopefully they bin the sprint\olympic. I wonder what's happening with Tri Athome now. No mention of it at all.

    Not sure about that - Id have gone with 'the most visable athletes' since BTH has been spotted from space based on his highly illuminating humour and skin :)

    In addition to that am happy to see this race as NC sprint: safe, fast, well managed and marshaled.

    Would there be much of a crossover between entrants for the HOTW, especially as Nat Champs and the Challenge race? Personally I wouldn't have thought so and imagine both will sell out.

    On NS status in first years the 2015 Carlow Tri was in its first year and got NS.
