Bjorn Ludick wins from Dessie Duffy

Bjorn Ludick wins from Dessie Duffy

With a very strong field this year it was Bjorn Ludick who led the field out of the water with an excellent time of 0:09:56, followed by Shauna McCrystal who excelled in the in the Female category with a time 0:10:34 for her swim. Last year’s winner Dessie Duffy (Muckno Tri) had ground to make up on Bjorn after the swim and he posted a time of just 20 seconds more than Bjorn after their cycle which kept him in contention up to the final stage. Ludick again proved to be too strong for the remaining field and secured victory by posting the quickest run in a time of 0:20:34. He finished in an overall time of 1:00:40 which recorded a new course record. Rachel Beck also had a fantastic outing which saw her post a time of 1:12:00 to claim the honours in the Elite Female category followed by Mary Daly (Midland Tri) in a time of 1:15:35 and in 3rd place Laura O’Driscoll (Setanta tri) in a time of 1:16:59.

Another notable mention was Alan Maye who finished in 4th place with a time of 1:09:49. Overall, Bjorn Ludick’s class prevaled on the day and proved to be too strong for the field of contenders with Dessie Duffy producing a very respectable time in 2nd behind Ludick. Rachel Beck also proved to be too hard to catch in the female category with her nearest challenger Mary Daly finishing over 3 minutes behind her.
