TriLimits Half-Ironman distance Triathlon

Race report by Derek Patterson.

Mid Ulster hosted another Half Ironman this time at Eskragh Lough just at the end of the M1 motorway. The event was promoted and managed Bob Davidson, Levi Black, Richard Kee and Keith by the extreme endurance sport members of http://trilimits.wordpress.com/ Bob and Keith, have both completed a Double Ironman and later this year are holding a Triple Ironman in N.Ireland. God only knows what the club members have tried and conquered.

Fun in the sun

With plenty of Ireland’s leading long distance Ironman on show this would be a good test and challenge for any forthcoming Ironman race or Galway 70.3. Andrew Hassard Hi-Elbow who went on to finish top 10, was using it to fine tune for next weekends Double Ironman in the New Forest, England.

I have been in Triathlon for 25 years but still find all this stuff amazing if a touch crazy.

After a couple of days of summer the lake was tepid and calm, Alistair Duffield, Real Triathlon, led the swim, everyone seemed to square the pentagon course for a fast time and all arrived refreshed for a 90km cycle on quiet, roads as green as they come.

Regular podium finishers, Catherine Brown, Brianne Mulvihill, both Carrick Tri and Frankfurt Ironman bound Orla McAdam, Setanta, now serving her time over the longer distance lead out of the swim. They went on to finish in this order closely follwed by Cheryl Cardwell, Triangle and then Mary Halpin and Caroline Cullen.

Liam Dolan (Setanta tri) wins for the 2nd year in a row.

Alistair maintained a lead on the bike with Colin Pollock, Carlow making up a few minutes and Liam Dolan moving through the field. Fast striding Liam got into the lead on the 2nd of the four lap 21.1km run winning from Alistair and Colin follow home by Mark Rafferty, Setanta, Vaughn Purnell, Belfast Legends, Paul Cullen, Tuna, Nial McDonnell, Micheal Grimes, Piranha, Andy Hassard, Hi Elbow and Dermot Mathers, Newry in 10th all within 5 hours.

Plenty of support, music and sun to saviour with enough food to feed a several waves at Athy.

TriLimits Sperrin Duathlon Series

brian — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:35:45 +0000

Duathlon Series Starts this weekend – looks like Adam Speers is going to make it 2 in a row after his success in Naas last weekend.

Following the success of their first year in 2009, Trilimits are hoping to provide another action-packed year in 2010. Last year saw 5 races in total and this year promises to deliver even more. For this year, Trilimits hope to bring you Duathlons, Triathlons and even a half-ironman is in its final stages of confirmation.

Kicking off proceedings on 30^th January 2010 will be the Sperrin Duathlon, the race starts at 12pm with sign on taking place from 10 – 11.30am in the car park beside the Lough. Free car parking facilities are also provided nearby.

Now for the fun bit – The Sperrin Duathlon will consist of 2.5 mile flat run around Lough Fea with the nearby mountains providing an ideal backdrop. In the transition athletes will be faced with an out and back course leading to a 10 mile bike course. For the first 5 miles of the bike athletes will endure of a series of rolling hills, followed by 5 miles of steady climb. This then leads to final 2.5 mile run back in around the scenic Lough.

After the race some warm refreshments will be provided on site.

This course has been deemed the “Hardest Duathlon Course in Ireland” by last years competitors so why not check it out!

Hope to see you all at the Start Line………

Dickie Rock.
