    Signed up to do this race myself. Not sure to take the TT bike or the road bike, Have done a bit of cycling in the area so know there is a good few hills involved! Just wondering if the time made on the tt bike on the flat would be lost on the climbs?

    I train on this bike route and use the TT bike all the time. None of the hills are that steep that you will be in trouble on the TT bike except maybe for the first 500m out of transition and the 500m up through Clonegal. Every other hill can be done on the aerobars. There are also 2-3 really fast descents (yuo can hit 60kph+ coming back into Bunclody) where the TT bike will really make up time, assuming that the road conditions are dry enough to allow fast descending

    You mean apart from the reason that it seems to be a front for some sort of wife swapping outfit :eek: :D

    I didn't think the standards would drop so fast on the new forum :rolleyes:

    Unmotivation, Oryx? At least you're a decent runner, and stand to make up places as the race goes on. Try being good at swimming, mediocre at biking, and crap at running. Very unmotivating, the prospect of being constantly passed from the pool to the finish!

    I'm a decent sleeper at the moment, and thats about it. And for the record my biking is worse than yours. Im just there to make you look good. :p

    Reminds me of my favourite saying. No matter how wonderful you think she is, someone, somewhere, is sick of her sh!t. :)

    hi, this is my first triathlon & i have a couple of queries i hoped you may be able to help me with, i know a wet suit is not requied for this event, but can you let me know what will people generally wear while swimming ?, and will they change into tri shorts when out of the water ?, also is the run on tarmac or trail ?,
    Sorry for the bombardment of questions but nerves are running high !!!

    You can wear a trisuit or swimsuit for the swim. You can then put shorts on in transition if you just have swim gear on. The run is all on tarmac.

    Very precise race manual, fair play on that, it explains a lot.

    I'm in wave 5, which from what I can make out, is the fastest wave, but I presume will start after all the others (ie last)?

    Really looking forward to this!

    The lads have put a fair bit of work into the manual all right

    Yes, wave 1 first, wave 5 last
    Registration and transition close the same time for everyone but plenty of room by the pool to shout on others and get a feel for things before your big splash :)
    Gives you nice warmup time too

    Good luck!!

    Ok, cards on the table, who's in for predictions?

    Swim: 8:30
    T1:1:30
    Bike: 41:00
    T2: 1:30
    Run: 23:00
    Total:1:15:30

    Will try and shave those 30 secs :D

    Ooops! I thought this was the slowest wave! I may have been overly optimistic in estimating my swim time - 10 mins.

    Thanks once again guys for a fun race. Well run but so relaxed and friendly as usual. It was nice to meet all you naughty and nice boardsies too (you know which you are ;) ).

    And who the hell do you pay to get the weather to play ball as well? More sunshine this year when the rest of the country has rain!

    Yup, hats off to Racing795, this was a fantastic event, you could sense the hard work that went into organizing it. Loads of helpers and marshals, the whole event went off without a hitch.

    I presume Oryx means some Boardsie was being naughty by scoffing handfuls of buns, tut tut.
