Time Trial Results May 15th

boneill — Wed, 16 May 2012 20:35:44 +0000

Sixteen people competed on Tuesday night. For new members this event is an ideal place to meet some of the more established club members. There is no pressure to be super competitive on the bike as everyone goes off individually. There is usually a group going for a short (6-7km) run after the TT. The TT is also a great way to get in some speedwork as well as the steady longer cycles.

Open Water Swimming May 24th (Note the Date)

boneill — Mon, 07 May 2012 20:37:38 +0000

Open water swimming will start this season on Thursday May 24th at the Inislena Recreation Centre in Iniscarra at 7.00pm. A couple of points to note you have to be a member of Cork Tri to swim with the group or at least a member of Triathlon Ireland and another tri club. Wetsuits are compulsory because of the water temperature. This is not a swim for beginners, the lake is very deep so anyone joining the swim should be a competent swimmer capable of at least 1000-1500m. There will be some evenings designated for competent pool swimmers who want to start open water swimming.

It is also hoped to have some special events, casual BBQs on some evenings, weather permitting and maybe an Aquathon or two with the swim on the lake and the run up the old (closed) road that runs parallel to the lake.

Directions from the County Hall to the recreation centre on “Map my Run”, distance of approximately 15km, or head for the Angler’s Rest and follow the R618 towards Dripsey, recreation centre is at the bottom of the hill after the EPA building.

Cyclist Safety

Marty — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:19:38 +0000

We would encourage all cyclists to think about their safety while out on their own or with a group:

Write ICE (In case of Emergency) number on the back of your phone (which you will probably be carrying while cycling)

Carry some form of identification on you at all times (e.g. TI membership card – nice and laminated)

Or wear an ID band, information on this www.roadid.com
