North Tipp Sprint 2012
The North Tipp. Sprint is now entering its 5th year. We pride ourselves in providing a low cost, high quality race. Our race has attracted many of Ireland's top triathletes to Nenagh and we hope that this continues in 2012. This year we are not a National Series event but we will be still offering a race of National Series quality.
We are the first triathlon on the 2012 triathlon calendar and with the National Sprint championships on so early this year this race is ideal for getting you in shape for Valentia.

Last Year's Race
Over two hundred competitors both experienced and beginner took part in the North Tipp Sprint, the first National series event on the race calendar on Saturday last. With high winds on the outward leg of the bike route and a tough hill on the run route, the course proved a good early season test.
Shane Scully and Anna Crooks took the honours on the day.
Shane however did not have it all his own way. Conor Rooney led the way out of water in an impressive swim time of 9:18. After a great bike leg William McCormack found himself in the lead with the tough run to come. Shane Scully was now in 2nd place after moving through the field on the bike route, with a gap of about 20 secs to make up on William. David Richardson found himself in 3rd place after putting in a strong bike time.
An excellent run split of 18.33 saw Shane cross the line with some time to spare. William was able to secure 2nd prize with Dave following in 3rd.
Anna Crooks led from start to finish in the women's race. A solid swim and bike followed by a good run split saw Anna take a comfortable win. Andree Walkin was 2nd home with an all round good performance. Patricia McMahon was a close 3rd again with a good solid performance.
