Hell of the West – The big one of the year for so many. Congratulations to our podium finishers Aaron O’Brien, Colm Turner and Aoibhe Reidy.

Ronan Costelloe, Pádraig O’Sullivan, Eamon Hanley & Bryan Nolan made the top 15 men, while Shóna Keane, Sinéad Walsh, Andrea Cullen & Eimear Laffan were in the top 15 ladies. We were well represented in the Age Group prizes with those listed, as well as Mary Ryan, Ed Fahy, Mick Griffin, Nick O’Dwyer & Noel Guinane ( who completed HoTW for the 33rd time)   – if you didn’t get your prize please get in touch to arrange.  Amongst the first timers were Tess, Niamh H, Caoimhe, Kenneth,  Tony Trehy,  Patrick Anderson, Séamus, Paddy & Finbar. Not forgetting participants in the relay Teams, it was a sea of Blue & White.

A huge THANK YOU to the members, family & friends of Limerick Triathlon Club for your help, big and small. If names are named, there is sure to be an omission, but every contribution was appreciated, and makes it possible to run the event.
