SPRINT SERIES – LATEST

The Second Super Sprint Race (say that three times fast!) centred around Lilliput Adventure Centre again. Despite the Gale force winds, big numbers showed up again! A change to the bike route gave a decidedly more hilly course for the intrepid racers may have given them a different time, but a valuable experience. Some even went as far as increasing the cycle course, evidently hungry for more bike work. Results for this 2km run – 14km bike – 2km run event will be posted on the Super Sprints page shortly (whenever I get them...Enda, seriously, when am I getting them).
