TI Mixed Relay Championships 2017- Belpark teams

[helenfrench]

Dear Belpark members, TI have just announced the popular TI National Mixed Relay Championships for 2017. Last year we have 4 teams from Belpark and our 'A' team went onto to compete at the ETU Mixed Relay Championships in Banyoles, Spain. The committee has agreed that the club will provide partial funding support if a team is successful in getting to the ETU race. 

If you are interested in taking part in the TI event in May, please complete the survey below and we will allocate teams based on responses.

You can read the race reports here from our team who went onto represent Ireland at the ETU champs here www.belparktri.ie/2016/07/mixed-relay-national-championships-2016-derval-devaney/ and from  Eoin Greene who was one of the 4 Belpark teams at the TI relays.  
Regards
Helen

Devastated to be away for this this year.

It was a lot of fun last year. Belpark had 4 teams of all levels including some of last years New to Tri group. It was a great day out and really fun short racing.

I'd highly recommend this race, as Ben said it is so much fun and a real team event. It's a race that suits all abilities ... each team member (teams of 4) swims cycles & runs and tags the next person to complete the circuit but the distances are really short ... so if you're sitting on the fence my advice is to go for it & sign up ... you won't regret it :-)

Hi - I'm interested in the relay race, but to be honest, not interested in the trip to Galway for such a short race. I'd considered entering the Sprint that morning or the Olympic that Sunday and make a weekend out of it, however going to give it a miss and do a few other weekend trips away. Race register only shows about 5 people signed up for Cat 1, Half IM or Olympic - do we have many teams interested?

There are also few more names who have indicated to me that they are interested who might not be on race register- trying to pull together 2 or 3 strong teams with medal chances!

Hi all, bumping this up to remind people to complete if there are interested. There are 5 responses so far. Will keep open until Sat 1st April.

Bumping this up because tomorrow afternoon is the National Mixed Relay Championship and Belpark has two teams racing:

Team 1: Ellen M, Brendan C, Marie Boland, Kevin Keane.

Team 2: Maeve, Johnny Morris, Sally and Guillermo.

All the best to both teams!
