It really would be useful if there was some information on this event somewhere. I would like to register but there are no details of where the swim, run or cycle routes will take place. As it is the first time Balbriggan will host this event some details would be helpful. Thanks

PWEI

Sorry alalou, I should have mentioned all details are available on the Fingal Tri club website;

Sorry about the delay. There were a few queries due to the timing mats picking up the wrong signals betweem the finish line and transition. I hope you all had a good race. Well done!

Is there a few names missing from the list? I thought that there were more than 147 people racing.

In terms of feedback, it wasn't a bad race for a race that was making its debut. Great time of the year for a sprint race, in prep for Athy. The support round the transition was great. I enjoyed the swim, nice location, etc. The cycle was grand. I think you could improve the run route. There is nothing nice about running round a few housing estates.

All in all I enjoyed the day and hopefully will be back next year.

really enjoyed it... thought swim was perfect, good challenge especially on way back in once the 2nd bhoy passed....

bike... there was one whore of a sharp turn with no marshall next nor near it about 1k from start... would recommend a marshall for that next year !!

probably would of been best to start the faster wave first to avoid the cyclists getting stuck behind slower cyclists and cars which did happen a bit.

thought bike and run were both a small bit short but other than that really enjoyed it and would recommend it to others for sure....

any photos going about... always like to see the pain
