ITU World Duathlon Championships
Last weekend over 20 Irish age groupers represented Ireland at ITU World Duathlon Championships in Aviles, Spain.
The ITU World Championships gave age group athletes the opportunity to choose to compete in either draft-legal or non-draft legal races. Triathlon Ireland saw over thirteen athletes competing in the draft legal Sprint event for the first time internationally.
Team Ireland brought home two medals with Killian Heery, winning bronze in the AG 30-34 Standard and Lorraine Carey finishing 2nd in the AG 35-39 Standard and 6th overall Female! Great performances by all athletes with a high number of top 10 finishers.
