Temple 2 LAP (12th June 2012)

The 2 lappers are great training for Olympic distance triathlon. They take place in the summer months when the nights are longest and brightest. Unfortunately tonight was dank and overcast - at least the rear lights are earning their keep.

As promised there were spot prizes for the 2 LAP. The lucky recipients of these were Emma Kerr, Shane Quinn amd Ed Smith.

Two people only managed to complete one lap. Ms Lowry broke down on her second lap with a mechanical and Ms McConnell stopped with a bout of glycogen depletion.

 It was good to see David Morrisey up at the TTs again, albeit in a time keeping capacity. David had to have surgery for his clavicle fracture, requiring pins and a plate to hold the bones together. David hopes to re-start training in the next week or so.

Next week is the bike orienteering and BBQ. The start is at Desi's house; directions on the right hand side of this page. The event will involve pairing up and visiting as many checkpoints as possible within a specified time. Afterwards there will be a BBQ. Food is provided but bring your own drinks to wash it down.

Finally, on behalf of all at the TT we offer condolences to Tracey whose Mother passed away this week.

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.
