New Club First Aid Kits Cork Triathlon club
recently held their King of the Hill Triathlon in Kinsale, the senior event on the Saturday and the Junior event on the Sun- day. South Coast was well represented on both days with Sebastian Helka fin- ishing in second position. This is a tough sprint race run by Cork Triath- lon Club consisting of a 750m swim on a triangu- lar course in Dock beach, a 23 km bike loop out to- wards the Old Head of Kinsale with quite a few hills on the route and fin- ished with a 5 km out and back hilly route towards Sandycove. The race was made harder by a lot of rain on the day. A relay team led by Ken O’Dono- ghue finished second in the relay race. Colin Cun- ningham and Catherine Sheridan also finished this tough race. On the Sun- day, our juniors flew the flag for South Coast and put in some excellent per- formances. Carrick on Suir Triath- lon Club held their annual triathlon on Sunday. This is the 25th
running of the
event so it is one of the longest running triathlons in Ireland. This race con-
