Carryduff - Ballygowan Race 6 (16th June 2009)

Everyone seems well race fit at the minute with a few triathlon's in the bag. Some good times posted and very competitive, especially in the 30min to 33min grouping.

Good to see Heather back on the bike after a bad fall during the Wicklow 200.

Congratulations to Desi on his recent European Triathlon Championship age-group win in Zurich; you are frustratingly inspiring for one your age. Forget aero helmets, Desi was sporting some "sexy" knee high socks tonight which seemed to give him an extra minute.

I was just home 15mins tonight and Glen phones asking if I had logged on and updated the site yet...now thats Ironic - somebody should write a song. At least he did have some good news in that you are all welcome to come along for some DRINKS in the Chelsea Wine Bar at 8pm on the Wed 1st July. No particular reason other than being social.

Also, the missing results are now posted in the archives on the right hand side.

Thanks to Peter and Ricky (with impeccable ex-school teacher block writing) for the timekeeping.

TT Training 2019

2019 Rules

You must have a TI licence (a training licence is sufficient), be a member of a triathlon club and have working front AND rear lights on your bike. Cycling helmets are also mandatory. For events marked (ATH) - this means it is an athletes TT, meaning that no TT equipment should be used, such as TT bikes, TT bars, aero helmets etc. You can of course turn up with TT equipment, however, you should be prepared for general teasing and mickey taking as the penalty for doing so!

As we are riding on public roads, the rules of the roads apply. The committee have notified the PSNI of our plans for the season; being seen and riding safely are of paramount importance - these events are very enjoyable and will improve your time trialling, but we should all stay safe when participating in them and we all have a responsibility to ensure that this happens.
