🥇 Colm Turner

 
Wins the 2023 Triathlon Ireland National Series. It was a really great season by Turner who emerged as National Middle Distance Champion by winning at Lost Sheep. The Lost Sheep is one of the more sought after trophies amongst triathletes in Ireland. Before that though, Turner had already won Base2Race Harbourman in August and within the month of September had achieved a podium nearly every weekend, 1st – The Lost Sheep, 2nd –  Pulse Port Beach, and finally 2nd – Ballyhass Triathlon. 

🥈 Anthony O’Brien

 
Finishes just shy of the top step in the men’s 2023 Triathlon National Series. O’Brien opened his scoring by winning the TriAthy National Sprint Championships in June. He was also on the podium in 3rd at the National Standard Distance Championships, thus looking like an athlete who can deliver on the day of a championship. 

🥉 Lochlainn Connolly

 
Rounding out the podium in third place. The Invictus TC athlete only scored in 4 races, but he made sure they counted! Winning Crooked Lake Triathlon, Dublin City and Pikeman, and a second in Carlow Tri795 at the beginning of the year. A fantastic season!
