12/03/10 - Limerick Duathlon 3
The third Limerick duathlon is taking place on the 21st of March. We are trying to get as many people from the club as possible to take part. All you need is a bike and a pair of legs! The race itself is not too hard. It consists of a 3.6km run, 14.3km bike and 3.6km run. This duathlon is a bit of craic and a good early season tester so try your best to be there.
11/03/10 - Training Notice
Circuit training and turbo training will be finishing up in 2 weeks time. We have 2 sessions of each left so try your best to make it. Monday's circuit training will be replaced by running in the CBS school at 6:30. The turbo session will be replaced by cycling outdoors.
09/03/10 - Predator Duathlon
7 Nenagh triathletes competed in last weekend's Predator duathlon in Clarinbridge. Weather conditions were cold but sunny as 115 competitors took to the starting line. The 4km run, 13km bike, and 4km run proved to be a hard fought battle. With Shane Scully being disqualified for going the wrong way on the bike, Keith Butler was the first Nenagh man home and he was third overall in his first duathlon of the year.
Also, doing well was Kevin Sherlock who finished just behind Keith in 4th place overall. Nenagh had another triathlete in the top 10 with Joe Cantwell coming in 9th. Michael O'Keeffe was just out side the top 10 finishing in 11th place. Not long home after that were Sean Gleeson and John Meaghar who both did very well in their first ever duathlons.
03/03/10 - North Tipp Sprint Marshals
This year's North Tipp Sprint is fast approaching and therefore the annual search for suckers people to marshal has begun. The only requirement for these highly sought after jobs is the ability to point and be helpful. Some people might even have to count to thirty. If you think you have the necessary skills then contact Anthony Sherlock at 087 2665576 and let him know you are available to marshal or text Shane at 087 2605743.
The club asks for very little from our members so this is one way you can pay the club back for making you the triathlon superstar that you are!
