As everyone knows it has been a very difficult few months for all of those who love sports.
The Junior Tried and Tested Triathlon Club tried to stay motivated by having regular zoom training sessions and we even had a virtual duathlon weekend with over 80 junior members participating by running and cycling around their gardens and local estates.
However we were delighted when we were contacted by Triathlon Ireland‘s Gary Crossan a couple of weeks ago to advise that it would be possible to have our annual training camp in Clonea.
Well what can we say the camp had 60 junior athletes over three days focusing on the critical skills and drills for running, cycling and swimming culminating in a mini triathlon on the final day.
Careful planning observing health protocols in advance ensured a smooth camp. Special thanks also to Lisa Mulhall and Darren Tutty for organising the camp, to the amazing Gary Crossan and Eleanor Condon and Kevin Keane from Triathon Ireland and to the assistant coaches, Marc Flavin, Alan Ryan, David Gaffney and Anne-Marie Power and Justin Coonan for the background support and critical bike repairs.
During the camp the juniors also took time to present Marc Flavin with his bronze medal for his performance in the European Duathlon Championships in Spain in early March in his age category. This was a savage result for Marc and it was nice for the juniors to be working with Marc for the few days.
We will have an open water clinic in Clonea with TriCoach Bjorn on Tuesday evening and we have 20 juniors participating.
