As per the past few multisport seasons it is the Women outshining the men.
Club Chair Helen French is sitting comfortably in 2nd place in her age group with 3 races completed and just needs to finish in Galway to secure a final ranking. Derval Devaney has just one race complete were she finished an excellent 2nd overall. Linda Fitzsimons sits in 7th place in her age group and will need a finish in Glaway to secure a National Series ranking. Grainne Forde had a strong race in the first Naas Duathlon and would be in with an excellent change at an AG podium is she can finish out the series.
In the Men’s National Series Staffard Viggors and Ciaran Ryan are the only Men who have completed more than one race and will need to attend Galway to secure a ranking.
