    Hi,

    If there is anyone left who is not doing the mini-IM:) in Galway on Sept 4th, you may be interested in a charity triathlon that takes place every year at Brittas Bay (possibly one of the best tri locations in the country...) in September.

    This year it is on Sept. 3rd and the aim is to raise funds for Barretstown and Kathleen's Kids of Makondo.

    I'm not an organizer of this event, but it is a great day out and extremely family friendly (free bbq, face painting etc...).

    Both Sprint and Olympic distance available to tackle.

    All the details @: www.sportingproud.org

    Cheers for that, havent heard of this one. Also it might be a good option for people in the east who dont want to travel across the country to Achill for a tri on the 10th of September
