Brick Sessions

/

EDIT:

 

 

The brick sessions will run at 9:30am on Saturdays,  meeting at the Pope's Cross, with dates from 22nd April to 17th June inclusive. The sessions are open to all club members, will last from 9:30-11:00, and will include advice on transitioning effectively. Tim Downing will be running these sessions.

They will take place half-way up the Khyber Pass, bar 22nd April due to the pesky Belpark duathlon the same morning and location.

A brick session consists of a short cycle with a rapid dismount followed by a short run, repeated a few times. This simulates the second transition in a Triathlon and gets you used to the switch in effort from one muscle group to another.

Welcome to the 3D Club League 2017!

The racing season is almost upon us, with an excellent pool based opener Portlaoise Try-a-Tri and Sprint almost upon us - 8th April 2017

Entry details: http://www.active.com/portlaoise-laois/triathlon/races/tri-laois-2017

This year the club league will allow our athletes to compete on the national stage by taking part in the Triathlon Ireland National Series whilst competing in our 3D club league.

Both will follow roughly the same format in that four events will count, with a requirement to complete in at least one Sprint and one Olympic distance.

A few distinctions between the Club League and the National Series:

  •  3D Club league will attract bonus points (10 points) for those competing in a distance for the first time.
  •  Bonus points (five points)  will be awarded for a number of specific events listed below.
  •  A number of additional events have been added to the Club League not listed on the National Series.

Have a great year, most importantly enjoy and encourage each other along the way.

 

3D Abu!

The start of the racing season is upon us and possibly the most beginner friendly race will kick off on 8th April in Portlaoise.

This race consists of a pool swim (750m for the sprint and 400m for the Try-a-Tri), a 19km cycle and 5 km run.

This is a great race to cut your teeth on and 3D have always been well represented, both in the race and among the spectators. Even if you are an experienced triathlete there is no better way to kickstart your season.

Entries close on 31st March so don't miss out.
