HAPPY DAYS!

hey ya all i for one would like to take this oppurtunity to thank the committee of TRIATHLONE for taking on and succeding at the momentous task that the days racing presented.
Fair play the hardwork was evident throughout and from the great emails and feedback ive been getting,(except for the mix up with the weather,the salmon run triathlon in Ballina got our weather,im joking Sandsy) the just shy of 700 competitors who particpated were pleased with the course and the challenge it presented.Thanks to the town and people of Athlone for there support,all the competitors who made it such a great race,a massive thanks to the supporters who braved a "Father Ted" style summer to cheer the gang on,a big thank you to the brave and hardy souls who voluntered there services for all the behind the scenes stuff that make a race work, and lets be honest,without whom there would be NO race,so thank ye all for the smiles in the rain,the competitors(of which i was one)for not crashing to much,.. and thanks to that guy who took absolutly EVERYTHING off after the swim to put his cycling gear onin front of a sizeable crowd i might add!!!!,you just dont see enough of that outside the army barracks on a wet and in one case wild saturday afternoon,mind you in Athlone,you never know..
and last but not least,a massive thank you to Hugh Mcatamney and Triathlone CEO Liam Heavin for the there amazing vision and dedication and personal sacrifice to make the race a very worthwhile experience...

i will see ye on a start line
