Club Duathlon
The club is organizing a duathlon on the 11th of September in Letterkenny as a prelude to Aidan Callaghan going to Kona.
It will be open to non club members with prizes also for twelve triathlon club members and also prizes for Letterkenny sporting club members. Aidan learned to swim with Swilly Seals , has ran with Lettereknny Ac and played football with Saint Eunan’s so there will be a challenge to see who can follow in his footsteps.
5K
Gavin Crawford won the Red Hugh’s 5K in a time of 15.54 and Danny Mooney won the Churchill 5K in a time of 16.04, following on from his win in Burtonport in a time of 16.27.
Cycling
In the cycling front there were two junior club members racing in the Churchill undera-ge cycling event in Churchill. Ciaran Mc Gettigan finished third in the under fourteen race after two laps of the Templedouglas Keelogs route.
Elijah McGinley competed well in the under twelve but had a crash and did not finish.
Well done
Rachel Stilvern made the trip to Donadea in Co. Kildare to do a duathlon and raced well.
Loughrea
Next up is the sprint triathlon in Loughrea which is a National series event and Tri the lough sprint race held outside Omagh.
Open water safety
