Lost Sheep & Other News
Hi guys,
Tomorrow evening at 8pm is the second and final chance to enter The Lost Sheep. The first time this race opened it sold out reasonably quickly. So don't hang around on this one if you want to race and haven't already signed up to do so. We are repeating the same bit of info below as per the last time we mentioned these dates in case anyone missed it back then.
TRILOGY GOSSIP & BOOZE NIGHT:
Thanks to everyone who turned up for this night out last Friday night. It was great to see so many faces & especially to get to meet and chat with quite a few of the new club members. Congratulations again to
Áine for sneaking the prize out from under Trish's nose. Thank you all again for a great night out. The thinking caps are already on regarding our next club social gathering. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!
UPCOMING RACES:
Pay special attention to our upcoming races here below. Swim Athy is just around the corner. And you will note that our very first Test Aquathon is to be held that same day.
Quoting Denise's calendar entry, "This is our first club Test Aquathon series and the first race of this series. We hope members will give us their time to help out at Swim Athy and then take to the water themselves to take part is this club race. Start Emily Square and swim 300m upstream and return to transition at Pontoon. 3km run to follow out by the bank of the Barrow."
There's an exciting day all round in store for us this Sunday 27th.
May 27th: Swim Athy

The “Lost Sheep” Kenmare, National Series - Middle Distance Triathlon, will take place on Saturday Sept 8th.
Quotation from http://www.corktri.com/events/kenmare-lost-sheep-triathlon/
“The Lost Sheep Triathlon has since its inception in 2003 gained a reputation both nationally and internationally as one of the toughest middle distance races on the triathlon circuit. Traditionally staged in September each year the event starts with a 1900m swim in the scenic Kenmare Bay followed by an 83km cycle which takes competitors over two category one climbs on the Healy and Caha passes and finishes after an undulating 21km run mostly on quiet country roads close to the picturesque town of Kenmare.”
Now if all that hasn’t put you off… AND I know we have some members wanting to take this one on already, this race opens for the entry of 150 places at 8am tomorrow morning. A second opening for a further 150 places will take place on Wed 23rd May at 8pm. To enter, please click here: https://www.triathlonireland-newserver.com/local-races.html

TRI ATHY:
As Tri Athy looms ever closer you will mostly be aware that we are still short on numbers to help out on the Sunday. There has to be someone in your life who complains of being bored or never having anything to do... We have faith that you can come up with some great suggestions for the coming bank hol!!! Marshaling is a GREAT way to meet new people you know!!! Register your help HERE.
TRAINING:
We think you'll all agree, the summer training program has gotten off to a great start. Denise has put together a very comprehensive program with lots of help. Thank you to those of you who filled out the survey and in so doing helping her to cater for as many of you as possible. I know there are changes planned and unplanned all the time, so be sure to keep an eye on the posts and the calendar. It's been brilliant seeing so many new & beginner triathletes attending these sessions too. We know the water has been cold, but please do try to make the open water training. These are absolutely brilliant for getting you ready for those big races.

It's not too late to join us for our club weekend away. We have time to organise accommodation still and the race is still open for entry on Triathlon Ireland. If anyone has any questions about this (or anything else mentioned) pop me an email to helena@trilogy.ie Having been on our club weekend away I can tell you it is usually a great weekend, enjoyed by all. You don't want to be hearing all the gossip afterwards and wishing you had been there.
Groomsport has been attracting a lot of interest within the club again this year. If you were thinking of trying the half ironman distance this is a great race to do. It starts off with a really nice two loop sea swim within the shelter of the bay totaling 1.9k in distance. Most of us were swimming more than that in the pool at our training sessions on an average Thursday night. It has a reasonably flat cycle course consisting of 3 x 30k loops making up 90k, much of which runs along the coast with fantastic views, and finishes with an interesting run over roads, small sand dunes and along the beach front. Last year it was really well run with no end of goodies at various stations around the course, and no end of Trilogy support for those who entered too despite it being held about as far north as you can go. If you're making excuses 'not' to do it, then perhaps you might consider doing it as part of a relay team? I know Trish for one might be looking for a runner to do it with her!! What was that excuse again???
