Test Tri 3 This Saturday
Trilogy's third test triathlon of the 2007 season takes place this Saturday, 23 June.
The series is there to allow you, the members of Trilogy to measure and guide your performance over the course of the 2007 season. With your results to hand, we hope to offer you advice and support in attaining your monthly goals and ultimately meeting your personal ambitions in triathlon competition.
Please Note: This is a Trilogy Training session for race technique. All competitors must be members of Trilogy on the day, and be at least Associate Members (€5.00 annual cost) of Triathlon Ireland. Please contact Karl ASAP if you have not yet applied for TI membership - it is not too late.
The course is designed to be short, fast and consistent. Entrants will be timed and a detailed analysis of the results will be available over brunch directly after the event, and at this website later that day. Entrants will receive times and positions for their Swim (220m, or ten lengths of the pool), their transition Swim to Bike, their Cycle (13.2km), their transition cycle to bike, and their run (3.4km), together with an overall time and position.
As well as an invaluable progress tool, entrants results will be used to determine prizes for the season-end in categories including:
- Course (overall) record time - Highest ranking points (your best three times eligible) - Best Swim time - Best Cycle time - Best Run time - Best improvement over the series (overall time)
The series will be run under TI rules and conditions - i.e. as a proper race. Marshals will not be available due to limited resources, and entrants will be asked to formally register and sign a standard disclaimer. There is no entry fee for Heritage members, and the standard guest admittance charge for non-Heritage members.
A drive-through of the course will be facilitated at 7:30am by request only. It is vital that new members come to this drive-through! Please text Karl to arrange this (there will be no drive-through, if there are no texts).
The course includes 10 lengths of the Heritage pool. Transition area will be outside the gym gates. The bike course takes a turn left (towards the railway station), left again, left towards the town, out the Abbeyleix road, left at Meelick, right towards Timahoe, left across M7, straight on for Adams Garage, straight on for the Dublin Road, then left and back to the gym via the Dublin Road. Transistion 2 is in the same place as Transistion 1.
The run also takes a turn left (towards the railway station), left again, left towards the town, then right along the Mountrath Road to Kea-Lew Business park, on up to Telfords, left towards the GAA centre, then left and back to the Transistion point via Jessop Street and the cinemas.
Both the cycle route and the run route will be signposted on the morning of the triathlon.
The distances involved are 220m Swim, 13km cycle and 3km run. As this event is intended as an individual performance guide, it will be an individual event only. Entrants of all abilities and fitnesses are encouraged to enter - without doing so, Trilogy cannot offer you individual training advice and programmes.
Registration will be at 7.45am (please be on time) , with a race briefing at 8.30 in the gym lobby. The race starts promptly at 9.00am - we must free up the pool by 9.45am. Brunch afterwards is at Cafe Latte in the Dunamaise theatre, c. 11:00am.
Remember - if you arrive late, you delay the start and wipe out the benefit of everyone else arriving early!
Good Luck!
