Triathlon Ireland, in conjunction with the Ulster, Connaught, Munster and Leinster branches, are holding a number of training days around the country for Race Officials and Race Directors, in February and March.

These new enhanced training courses are free and are open to anyone who would like to attend, in particular, race officials who have attended previous training and would like to attend a refresher course; or for anyone who would like to be trained as a race official. For 2010 we are also requiring all Race Directors to attend this course, so that they can be updated with changes to the administration of one day licences (ODLs) and documentation required by Triathlon Ireland.

Last weekend brought another chilly weekend and down in Limerick, where over 100 souls braved the cold for the second race in the Limerick Duathlon Series.

While competitors braved the cold down in Limerick, Dublin racers weren't so lucky. With heavy snow the night before, the race organisers of the Wheelworx Duathlon, had to make the difficult decision to postpone the race. This race will now go ahead on Friday 2nd April. For anyone who purchased a one day licence for this race, this has been transferred to the new race date. If you are unable to race on 2nd April and would like your one day licence refunded, please send an email to Triathlon Ireland, administrator@triathlonireland.com.
