We thought now would be a good time to tell you of some exciting developments since **Éireman **was first launched.
There are a few…
**- Triathlon Festival - **
First and foremost – **Éireman **has evolved into a triathlon Festival. All details are on www.eireman.org btw
Friday 21st August in the evening – **Éireman X **(the off road triathlon) takes place. Bring a mountain bike. The first one takes place on May 10th (same idea)
Saturday 22nd August – **Éireman warrior Kids race **(swim in pool followed by run in the woods)
Sunday 23rd August – **Éireman - Long, Middle & Olympic **distance Triathlon.
The Olympic distance is a new feature of the **Éireman **triathlon Festival.
- Irish Sea Crossings –
Ok, its stating the obvious that you have to cross the sea to get to Ireland with bikes, families etc.
3 things worth noting:
- you might want to bring a mountain bike and a road bike.
- the ferry companies Irish ferries and Stena line are having a price war right now.
- if you miss this we have special event fares on Stena line regardless
- Special Hotel Rates – or camping
The Accomodation listed on the website have special rates for competitors.
- Race against Batman –
Ok that isn’t going to make a whole pile of sense but if you know Mike… I guess it does. He’s from the UK.
- Fast course anyone? –
Whats going to make **Éireman **stand out above other courses is one word: Speed. We have closed one lane of a 2 year old motorway for this race. The surface is perfect for anyone who likes to stay on the tri bars and push it hard. No sharp bends just smooth track.
- Location Courtown –
If you are curious about the race venue – you can see it all here http://www.courtownharbour.com/
That’s all we got. Hope to see some of you there.
Regards
The Éireman Team
