  • Lough Derg Sprint – LTC were out in force for this Local race – we made up nearly half of the field! Congratulations to Ronan Costelloe and Hillka Kontro who both took 3rd place. Richard Chapman pipped Stephen Cunneen to line for 5th & 6th, while Murna Griffin O’Malley was just 20s off Hilkka for 4th. It was the first venture into open water for many. Well done to Noel Keane, John Deegan, Tadhg O’Malley, Alan Buckley Darragh Nicholas, John Gleeson, Dan Shanahan, Angela Robertson, Michelle Byrne, Peter Hunt, Barry Sheehan, Rosemarie Giltenane, Edel Foster, Jessie Ryan, Tony Trehy, Helen Hartigan, Nigel O’Brien, Ciara Culleton, Eimear O’Malley, Marguerita McCarthy & Yvonne Casey

  • Hook or By Crook NS – Well done to Micheal Ryan on an Age group win (and for returning to the tri where he came off his bike last year breaking ribs & collar bone) and to JP Burke .
  • Aquathlon National Championships – hosted by Pulse TC at Dublin’s Bull Wall, Luke Lyons took 3rd place putting in splits of 15:18 for the 1000M swim followed by a 19:18 5km beach run. Huge congratulations Luke on your Bronze NC Medal.
  • Carolyn Hayes took her first  Silver in a World Cup race at the Nur Sultan WC in Kazakstan

All eyes turn to Youghal for the inaugural IM Cork on Sunday 23rd. LTC will be represented by first timers and experienced Ironmen. The water could be bumpy, the cycle route promises to be challenging & the run will take in 4 laps of the town for the 2500 strong field. We have everything crossed for good weather, but all the work has now been done; in the wise works of our own Dave Beary: It’s not about who goes the fastest, but who slows down the least.

We will post the tracker and it is also being carried on Facebook LIVE on the Facebook page.
