The Lakeside Triathlon is always popular for 24/& members and this year proved no different as we headed to the event hosted by MSC Tri Club.

The 24/7 members absolutely smashed it with Peter O’Donnell finishing 3rd overall, Mervyn McDowell 1st in age category, Paul Dillon 2nd age category, Noelle Parker 3rd in age category, and Martin Donnelly 3rd in age category. There were many other outstanding results, all posted below. Doireann Ni Riain had a fall off her bike and was somewhat fortunate that an ambulance was on hand to give her swift attention. She reassures us that her wrist will mend quickly and she’ll be back on board the bike in no time at all.
