Races '10

Connemarathon Half
Valentia (if I can get in - it's easier to get into the CIA)
TriAthy
Worcester Tri (1.5/55/10) - same weekend as Kilkee
Wicklow 200

Not decided about Joey Hannon - I'll see how it fits with the schedule.

Another possibility I'm mulling over is the West Cornwall Middle Distance, on the same weekend as Valentia - www.hayletri.co.uk - I feel I'd like a crack at a half iron early doors in the season. At the same time, I wouldn't be racing it as such; no peaking/tapering or such; so if we could organise something between ourselves to give the same type of training goal, so much the better. And so much the cheaper

Joey Hannon
Valentia
Tri-Athy
Wicklow 200
Kilkee
All going well!..... I think you should re consider Joey Hannon Slatts, 50mtr pool would be a help for the long distance swim in Zurich . The mike Bowes comment.......ouch

Triathy Olympic open today is only €39 with free tee shirt that arrives in time for the marathon.
I'm doing that valentia & kilkee prior to the zurich.
Joey Hannon which has a pool swim is also worth thinking about. Until they allow wetsuits I won't be doing it though. Bad swimming practice for the ironman and all that
Mike Bowes will be returning to the NOVICE race in Joey hannon for the 3rd year in a row to try to win it this time

Valentia Island seems cool

hey guys seeing as i never done a full season with u shower, i was just wondering what tri's u tend to do during the summer...I've just signed up for wicklow200 (seems the perfect opportunity to guage how screwed i am at that stage )
Tri Athy is signing up today so just wondering what u doing..
Suppose im looking at this in relation to the ironman (what races u think should/shouldn't be doing)
