European Championship Athlone 4th July 2010


August 4th, 2010 by Elena

Ireland had a great opportunity to host Triathlon European Championship. This was the biggest Triathlon event ever happened in Ireland.  More than 300 Irish Age group athletes took part in the event plus 3 Juniors and 6 Elites. It’s great to see that triathlon getting more and more popular.

The atmosphere in Athlone town over weekend was fantastic. Crowd cheer up not only Irish athletes but everyone.

I’ve been working hard as a coach with Juniors team but had a chance to do a sneaky race in the morning before team breakfast and back with a Gold medal in my Age group :-)

Now I have European title under my belt :-) Pity can’t race in World Championship in Budapest.

Had a chance to take pictures with World Triathlon Elite.

Overall I had a great experience in a multinational race. Hope to have a chance to compete again next year.
