Team Needs Swimmer for half-million fundraiser race

The annual Musgrave SuperValu Triathlon takes place next Saturday 1 September. It is probably the biggest fund-raising event of its type in Ireland and they hope to smash a target of half-a-million euros this year (on top of over €2m raised since 2003).


One team from Borris-in-Ossory hoping to compete finds themselves short of a swimmer. The team has fully paid the €1,200 entry fee, and it seems a shame that their race should go to waste because they don't have a swimmer.


The event is on in Farran, Co. Cork (about ten miles west of Cork). The swim is 800m, and the team have a good cyclist and runner to follow your efforts in the water. They need either a male or female swimmer.


The event proceeds go to two very worthy causes - Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin and the Irish Cancer Society. As an added bonus: Why not continue on to Kenmare and make a night of it as the brave Trilogy crew celebrate the Lost Sheep Ironman finish?


So, if you can make this team's triathlon get in touch ASAP with Karl for further details. As the race fee is already paid, there is no fee to compete in this event.(Further event details - www.msvc-triathlon.com).
