Niall Murphy Race Report Mullaghmore Tri







Hey Folks,

Please see below Tri-Planet's Niall Murphy Race Report from Mullaghmore.


I took part in the very sunny Mullaghmore Triathlon on Saturday 19th June along with about 400 others and we couldn’t have hoped for better conditions for the race.

This was my first full sprint Triathlon, my first sea swim, my first beach start and was getting a bit nervous when I saw how far out the boat was placing the buoy for the swim course

I was also looking to put into practice some of the tips picked up from the open water swimming sessions in Killiney … there was a very long run into the water, a couple of attempted (!) dolphins and then into the swim hitting the first buoy shortly afterwards and turning for a long straight run into the harbour. It was a calm day so sighting wasn’t a problem but for quite a while it seemed as if the harbour wasn’t getting any closer! Out of the water and happy with my swim time but was tired hitting transition and the bike. Settled into it and had a few hills and some wind to tackle before ending up back in transition. The run was one of the most picturesque that I have done around the headland of Mullaghmore which distracted me from my tired legs. A spurt into the finshing straight and then we were done! Overall the race was well run in a great setting so would recommend

\Niall.

PS. Have I caught up on Louise?!? Mullaghmore is my third Tri event now. J
