The Training Weekend - Updates
1. The Weather
As you all know, it always rains in Limerick. At the moment it looks like it might be wet tomorrow, though not as wet and wild as Portlaoise today. Sunday looks to be drier again, but both days will be cold. See 2 below.
2. What to bring
Bring plenty of spare clothes. You need to have a full kit for two cycles, two runs and two swims. There will not be anywhere to wash or dry out clothes used on Saturday for re-use on Sunday. You are likely to need all the clothes you bring due to the weather forecast. See 1 above.
You will also need some leisure / loose clothes for the workshop sessions, and maybe some casual gear if we head out for grub on Saturday night.
Besides clothing, don't forget your bike, helmet, cycle shoes (with overshoes) and if you have them two sets of runners. Spare tubes and tools to remove your tyre, and some kind of food for the bike is advised. Not everyone needs a pump, but if you have one, please take it along - we all might need it. For the pool remember your goggles and cap, tri-suit / swimsuit / speedos.
Finally, you will need money for all your meals. Accomodation, pool entry, instruction and a little gift is all included.
3. Meeting time
There has been some suggestions that Finnegans do a fine breakfast. Well they do, but only after 9am. So on Saturday we will be meeting up at 7:30 / 7:45 in Kilmurray Lodge Hotel for breakfast. They offer porridge, cereals and everything else up to and including the full Irish.
Breakfast on Sunday will be at the same place, same time.
We still meet at UL for 9 - if you decide against breakfast, make your way straight to UL where we will all meet up.
4. Change to the Schedule
We have had to move things around a little on Sunday. I will let you know more at briefing on Saturday (see details here also). There is room for a recovery run on Sunday (optional), or a longer lunch, and we will be finishing the day in the pool. You can expect to be ready to leave at 5pm, and if anyone is interested we might break the journey for dinner on the way home.
5. Two Rules
The first is Be Safe, Learn Lots and have Fun. The second is no cutting the weekend short!
