Who to Contact for Advice/Help
At times, a Technical Official may come upon a situation they have not experienced before and may be unsure of what to do. Should you find yourself in such a situation in a race you are a Technical Official for, please click here for a list of experienced race officials who may be able to help you with your query. Please feel free to call anyone on this list, however, please note that they have offered their services in an advisory capacity only, they are not able to officiate at the race with you and you still have overall responsibility for your role as Technical Official.
If for some reason you are unable to attend a race for which you have been assigned to, please advise Triathlon Ireland immediately by sending an email to administrator@triathlonireland.com rather than contacting any of the people on this list.
