Kilkee 2015

mossym · 09-01-2015 11:39am #1

Just a reminder for all, batch of entries opens up on Sunday evening at 6pm.

Not the NC, nor the 30th anniversary this year, so numbers probably down on last year but would still expect this one to get a big entry level.

BTH · 11-01-2015 6:05pm

Entered.

mossym · 11-01-2015 6:06pm

I'm in.

BTH · 11-01-2015 6:32pm

400 entries in under 30min. :eek:

Should get in on one of the other stages. Looks like 800 overall though, down from 1200 last year

Trig1 · 22-01-2015 2:59am

how much is entry, just so I have enough on the card for Saturday at 1pm!

mossym · 22-01-2015 8:56am

65 notes trig

bryangiggsy · 22-01-2015 9:53am

Absolutely love this race but am disappointed with a couple of things

1. the price :65 was ok for the 30th anniversary but to continue with that is disappointing. The rucksack we got last year personally was of no use to me as too big to bring to the swimming pool or gym as a gym bag. The jacket the year before was great. A t shirt will do me.

2. Gripe no 2:Trying to sell out the race in January when everyone is skint

Will still sign up though under protest

there is only a couple of races i'd consider worth the higher entry fees, kilkee and lost sheep. one of the local races to me charged almost 50 euros last year for a small local sprint. Ridiculous. even though i'd planned on doing it that was too much, and I'm not going to support races that try to do that.

shansey · 22-01-2015 10:50am

How much is lost sheep usually??

mossym · 22-01-2015 10:58am

think it was 80 last year. not bad for a HIM though

shansey · 22-01-2015 10:59am

thats great.. i half expected around €120

mossym · 22-01-2015 11:00am

sorry, i lied, went back and checked, it was 96

ShineyShiney · 22-01-2015 1:55pm

I think 50e is about right, theres not a lot of return for a club or organiser in running a race a much less than that unless there are some unusual circumstances.

Smaller races also have to plan for breakeven with their pricing as entry numbers are an unknown.

bopperr · 26-01-2015 9:05am

not open this morning?

miller82 · 26-01-2015 9:25am

It did. just after 9

I got in

damo80 · 26-01-2015 10:18am

Didn't open till roughly 9.07 finally got in myaelf. Wait list open now. Worth putting name down as everyone on this normally gets a place due to high withdrawals

BTH · 28-05-2015 1:33pm

Deadline for entry transfers is 31 May. Anyone looking to move an entry on? I know a few people on the look out for entries.

Cheers

mossym · 28-05-2015 8:26pm

There was an offer of a spot on twitter tonight. Think it might even have been galway tri club that posted it

That also went on FB and was taken there. I've three lads sorted anyway. Might need one more but not sure yet.

PWEI · 30-05-2015 8:29am

I never thought I'd have difficulty getting rid of a HOTW slot but apparently there is nobody left on the waiting list.
Will sell my entry for €40 if anybody is still looking for an entry.

boysinblack · 22-06-2015 12:19pm

Weather looking fairly bleak for Saturday

shotgunmcos · 22-06-2015 10:52pm

Saw somewhere that Bryan Keane is racing this? In Cat1?

pgibbo · 23-06-2015 12:28pm

sorry, i meant Gavin was listed as being qualified for Cat1, as in had met the qualifying requirements, not that he was doing any of the SS or doing any racing at all. he's in warmer climates at the moment anyway

Pmaldini · 23-06-2015 9:32pm

heard the production team doing the video for tri Ireland this year will be using a drone, that should sort out some of the drafting:)

sconhome · 23-06-2015 9:34pm

Did ye see the tweet about the bay being full of jellyfish?

Nononononononono!!!!!!

No jellyfish in Austria

mossym · 24-06-2015 8:01am

trig is down there, says they are mostly gone, clearing out. hopefully all gone by saturday.

what has austria got to do with Kilkee??

i hope so, had the unpleasant experience of being stung in the face a few years ago, don't fancy that happening again...

Doeshedare · 24-06-2015 9:15am

Anyone know what class of jellyfish they are? I think it means the water has warmed up but then with rain forecast it might cool down again a tad which could send them back out - or is this wishful thinking?

MojoMaker · 24-06-2015 9:57am

Eh sorry? Surely the race team is going to arrange for an inspection and trawl the swim course for jellies? Last year one of the long distance swim events coordinated with DLR coco to have the bay at seapoint trawled and cleared out - was a couple of hours work tops. it's an activity the local councils have to do regardless so makes sense to tie it in with an event.

Macgio · 25-06-2015 10:01am

Has a race briefing been issued?

Doeshedare · 25-06-2015 10:02am

Its on the Web site
http://limericktriathlon.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/HOTW-Race-Brief-2015.pdf
I dont think they emailed it

boysinblack · 25-06-2015 10:08am

Can we expect the wave details today?

Kander · 25-06-2015 10:10am

Does anyone know if the Sat registration is in the hotel like on the Friday or is it moved to the race area?

it has always been in the hotel on sat, haven't heard anything mentioned of it being moved

Pmaldini · 25-06-2015 3:34pm

good news from Kilkee, the jellies have gone:)

pgibbo · 26-06-2015 9:31am

Best of luck this weekend folks. Enjoy what I believe is the best race in the country.

I'm gonna get my excuses in now.

I've never worn my wetsuit before (except in the B2R pool)

I haven't sat on a bike in two weeks.

I'm pulling out before the run.

Still, should be good craic.

Neady83 · 26-06-2015 12:26pm

Enjoy the race peeps, hope the weather holds out for it and most of all, take some time to take in the views over the cliffs
