    Entries are open now on TI. Standard Distance only this year. This was very well organised last year with a rolling swim start that worked to everyones benefit. The bike route can be windy!

    Did the Sprint last year and loved it, wish there was a Sprint again this year as it would be a 100% go to race for me.

    Ah wells, guess I just have to learn how to increase the distance!!

    Did the sprint aswell. A great event and a bloody tough one. Who has the bottle to power down those hills on the bike??

    A Bathing Restriction Notice is currently in place around the Wicklow Harbour area due to the presence of an oily residue in the water.

    Hopefully lifted by Sunday! Plenty of alternatives outside the harbour walls but I don't know if there are slipways for access?

    Edit- tonights Leinster OW race is starting instead up at the Murrough beach which I guess Harbourman could do if needed (a longer run to trans though)

    Wicklow Tri are aware of a potential water quality issue within Wicklow Harbour as a result of a small fuel spill. It is hoped that this issue will be resolved by tidal movements over the next 36 hours but if this is not the case, then an alternative swim course outside the harbour will be used for The Harbourman on Sunday

    Probably the best marshalled/supported Tri around, there was a smiling Wicklow Tri member at every junction. Great weather for it (hot hot hot on the run though), and the sea temperature was perfect. Well done Wicklow Tri!

    Couldn't agree more. Brilliant afternoon, thoroughly enjoyed it and now have my first Olympic Distance under my belt!

    also in agreement, it's a great race - really well marshalled. it was also my first olympic distance race, despite the heat on the run I really enjoyed it.
