A total of 46 participants took part in the fundraising Aquathlon today at Gary Lucas Beach, County Cork. Due to very windy conditions the swim course was shortened to roughly 450meters and the run was extended to 7km.
Open water swimming legend, Ned Denison, was first out of the water but as he hates the running part he pulled out of the race in transition. Myrtleville local, Sham O’Riordan, took the lead but was soon overtaken by fellow competitior Dave Sweeney who held the lead and finished 1st overall.
In the womens category Carmen Collins was in the lead after the swim but was pipped at the post by West Cork Tri Club member Grainne Caulfield.
In the Under 18′s category Ashling Caulfiled had a very strong swim but was beaten by Jane O’Donovan on the run.
The first relay team to cross the line was the man himself Stephen Redmond and fellow team mate Oonagh Brady. Stephen naturally took part in the swim!
Approximately €650 was raised for Stephen’s final Ocean 7′s swim. We wish him all the best!
West Cork Tri Club would like to thank all the marshalls, participants, sponsors, TI officials and SandyCove Swimmers for helping out with a successful event despite the weather
