National Sprint Titles for Quigley and O’Brien at TriAthlone

Due to some confusion on the run course a large number of the 1,600 strong competitors ran a lap short. Unfortunately for the club this included four of our members some of whom were contenders for the top spots in the respective age categories. Despite the disappointment these members can hold their heads high knowing that they gave their all during the race and we all know they will come back fighting for the Ulster titles up for grabs next month at the Mourne Triathlon.

Club member Aileen Morrison also competed in Athlone at the weekend in the Elite Women’s race. This saw Aileen up against a strong field of international triathletes including Ireland’s sole representative in triathlon at this year’s Olympic Games in Beijing, Emma Davis. Aileen put in a good race to finish 6th overall.
