Tri Athlone

Good for me so long as good cardiac teams in attendance!

Athlone

Great to see some are getting organised with their race callendar!
I would offer to help with cardiac services but will probably need them myselves!! :)
I have offered to investigate accomodation in Athlone so it would be helpful if I had a rough idea of numbers - could you let me know if you think you may be going.
I have provisional bookings in a B+B from last year but am hoping that we will need something bigger.
It really is a fantastic race which takes over the whole town and is brilliant to see top athletes performing.

I'm signed up!

Planning to do the sprint on the sat & watch the champs on the Sun - should be a great weekend!
