• The Escape from Alcatratz was not to be for Rory Keating & Sean Hanley who travelled to this notoriously difficult event, but the weather conditions meant the swim portion was cancelled and the course modified to an 18mile bike and 8 mile run.

Next weekend there are a host of races happening, with Nenagh TC’s Lough Derg Sprint closest to home on Saturday (entry still available via Triathlon Ireland website)
