Fewer numbers tonight with some on holiday, others not able to make it puncture free and a couple of timekeepers preparing for a weekend away in Cork!
A magnificent seven turned up, although there were mishaps a plenty.. more than one rider took a turn left too soon, McGandy being the first to make the mistake, followed a short time later by Ms McCoy. Conor had a bad evening all round, leading off and struggling to get locked into the pedals.. Morrison didn’t show any mercy however, nor did fast improving Gormley who followed in for a creditable 2nd place.
A welcome return for Sharkey saw him just pip Kerr by just 7 seconds.. there’ll be more to come from that pair before the summer is over!
Peter Morrison: 21:45
Mark Gormley: 23:16
Conor McGandy: 23:45
Frank Sharkey: 24:33
Emma Kerr: 24:40
Michelle McCoy: 25:45
Gary Hazlett: 26:55
Good luck to timekeepers Peter Kelly and Brian Ross at next weekend’s Ironman in Cork.
Next week sees a return to the Harbour Estate where the quarter finals of the head to head will take place. Gary and Peter Morrison will keep things in order.
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.
